Game Review- Tekken: Dark Resurrection for PSP-
This is my first review i will be doing on games. My topic is the latest tekken game for the PSP. Dark Resurrection. This was the one thing no one ever thought possible. That Sony would make a hand held game machine. And about a year back it was released. The Play Station Portable. A basic unit with some accessories. It grew in popularity since its time of release. To add to that. A new game has just been released. Tekken: Darkresurrection.
First look- the game disc is actually want is known as a UMD disc. Having about a quarter size of a CD-ROM disc. In a plastic sleeve like a floppy disc to protect the surface where the data is. on the front is surface of the disc it has the game title graphics. And on the back it is where all the data is stored and read. The disc is stored in a book like case which opens up on the inside of the front cover is the game instruction manual. The game disc itself is set inside the back cover. Easily accessible when you open the case. The case itself has a graphic of the game title logo and in the back ground is a picture of Devil Jin and infront of that below the logo is Jin himself. The graphic art on the cover is very nicely done. On with the features.
This new game has a lot of variety of Characters to choose from. Like the Play Station 2 Version of Tekken 5. Those of you who remembers Tekken 2 or Tekken 3 onthe Play Station. Everyone had a character to choose from in the game. Everyones favorite characters are back in this game too. And alot of improvements have been made to the characters. New moves while still keeping the traditional moves each character had from the older games. Personally i did enjoy the older Tekken games on the Play Station. I've tried Tekken 5 on the PS2 at a hobby shop. The feel of playing this game is similar to the PS2 version of Tekken 5. Some similar features to this version of Tekken and the PS2 version. This new version has some added features.

Game play and grapics. I'd say they're pretty solid. The characters are detailed pretty well. The game has a lot of good visual effects. The game play shows multi-angled views of the playing field from every direction. In a 360-degree perspective. The game also has a good amount of playing environments to choose from when playing against another player.

Customizing Characters- The previous versions of Tekken never had this feature until the PS2 Tekken 5 game was released. The feature made Tekken 5 popular so the feature is now on this new Tekken game. Other than just customizing characters, personalizing the character to how the players taste is another feature. Like user names.
Characters- Every player's preferences are different. Each one has their favorite character.
Take king for example a long time character in tekken since the very first Tekken game. And also very popular. He had several revisions done to him. His moves are still as it is from Tekken 2 and Tekken 3. He also has new moves in this new Tekken game. He has heavy kicks. Which makes hin a good character to use. Being a masked wrestler, his throws have a lot of effect. The current Tekken version of King looks good. Maybe the best looking version. To date, he has more detail and a more solid look. In this new game he can be customized to look even more ferocious than he already is. I found the white tiger mask to be pretty neat. or his silver mask. Its all a matter of mixing and matching the colors of his clothing after for the prefered look.
Having his first appearance in Tekken 2 and then on Tekken Tag tournament
Armor King. A character in Tekken with a background covered in mystery. He is much like King but a bit stronger. His armor shows his sinister appearance. He too has heavy kicks. A variety of moves similar to King. Good throws. Armor King has some strong knock out moves. Like his Straight Arrow punch and his Upper cut. Customizing Armor King like King can be done in a variety of ways. Armor color. With a gold mask. Or his glowing red evil eye. He also comes with a lot of accessories to choose from. Which can make Armor King look a bit more dreadful than he already is. I think it was good that they brought Armor King back. This character and King are my 2 favorites to use in the game.

Playing this game, and Tekken 5, I just found out that the special moves of the characters are not always what brings the opponent down. Sometimes it just a simple move like a punch or a
kick. The special moves are effective. But to time them to work effectively is the key. Throws work good. Depending on who the opponent is, sometimes it takes only throws to win a fight. I mean its a fun game. It will get people going for hours on the action. Those who like to play the game in a set way can go into story mode. And play out the story of each character. There is the arcade mode for those who want to just play the normal game.
Overall: I would say its the best PSP game I have played. I have loads of fun with it. I would recommend it to someone who likes a lot of action in gaming or to a fan of the Tekken series. Its a good sequel to Tekken 5 on the PS2.
