Fighting games generally are unless you battle 1 on 1 with a friend.
But I was a fan of VF5 on the PS3.

i found teken far more enjoyable, especially for the price

Mephisto · 12 Oct 2007 at 13:16

I'll give this a go but I never really was a fan of the Virtua Fighter series.

Gief next gen Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat!

Tekken just lacked depth IMO. It's basically throwing a couple of punches or a couple of kicks and 2 or 3 throws for the most part. As a 3D fighting game Tekken is pretty much the most basic out there. However, as you said, for the price it's brilliant.

Just downloaded and had a shot.

- Far too easy
- Far too slow

+ Nice graphics
+ Seems like the button mashers will have a problem with this one!

Overall I won't be buying this.

To be honest, based on that comment I cannot think you have played the series much. It has a loads of depth and variety of moves throws combos, juggles etc, and this is just talking about the previous gen incarnations (Tekken 1 - 5).

Have you ever played the Tekken games competitively or with a proper arcade stick by any chance. At the Arcades it is the best 3d fighter I have played.

I guess its down to personal choice, but not a basic game by any means.

Edit: In hindsight I may be biased having played all the games in the arcades, on all the playstation ports, and having arcade stick and having played in tournaments

I loved VF on the Saturn after that I hated fighting cames that got too complex for my liking.

Kreeeee · 12 Oct 2007 at 14:01

) matey?

I have played and owned all of them bar Tekken 4. I even owned Tekken Tag Tournament

.
As a big fan of Virtual Fighter I just find the depth of Tekken laughing, but Tekken and Tekken 2 are two of the best experiences I ever had in gaming, but after that it just didn't do it for me.
