Description official descriptions

The former fighting champion and corrupt oligarch Heihachi Mishima is attempting to achieve immortality. To do so, he needs the Devil gene, possessed by both his son Kazuya, whose body is stored in the labs of the G Corporation, and his grandson Jin. However, Heihachi's Tekken Force is defeated by the resurrected Kazuya. Meanwhile, Jin goes into a self-imposed exile. In order to lure Kazuya and Jin out, Heihachi announces the fourth King of the Iron Fist championship, the final prize being the ownership of his corporation.

Tekken 4 contains twenty playable characters, four of whom are new. New strategies in fighting are introduced with the addition of walls, terrain effects, position changes, and enhanced side-stepping. In total there are nine gameplay modes, including a new Training mode and the Tekken Force game.

The best and most realistic fighting game ever

The Good
The almost realistic graphics. The motion capture. Tekken Force mode, an improvement on Tekken 3's. The fact that most moves can be used properly by experienced or non experienced martial artists. Hwoarang punching as well as kicking. A British character is included for a change. Complete 3D. They can speak.

The Bad
No bruises? No fatigue when the character is about to get Ko'd. Tekken Force is too hard to complete. Not enough game modes. No tag team mode (what a damn shame).

The Bottom Line
Buy it, please, for the love of god, buy this dear game, it's the best fighting game ever ever ever. If one day a peripheral was created so that you could actually execute the moves instead of button bashing, I would recommend this game for that.
