The CG movies, sadly, are not new, as they are directly from the PSP version of Dark Resurrection. After you've decided to purchase these items using Tekken money, the game contacts the server for the download. Oddly enough, these goodies are not part of the game's 800+ megabyte initial download. There's also a Gallery option, where you can unlock illustrations and CG movies from the Tekken 5 series. We're assuming that you'll be able to download ghost characters in the future but that's not available right now. There are the traditional Arcade and Versus modes, as well as a Ghost mode which allows you to fight Ghost A.I. There are only a few modes in the game it's decidedly lackluster compared to the PSP version. The latter, thankfully, doesn't give Jinpachi any additional energy like it did when he was a boss. Included in the moves that are at Jinpachi's disposal are an uppercut reminiscent of the traditional Mishima Godfist, a swipe that bounces prone opponents off the ground and into the air, and a hit throw that pushes enemies back. Jinpachi has a ton of awesome moves in his arsenal, and they're all searchable via the in-game command list. Rather, Namco used the model that's used during the cutscene before the boss fight. YES NO The addition of Jinpachi is a nice little bonus though, although he doesn't look like his end game form at all. After all, the original Tekken 5 was released to arcades about two years ago, with Dark Resurrection following in 2005.

Not that it's a huge problem, but don't expect this to stand up to newer titles that are just being released. It's easy to tell that this game is based off a last-gen title just from the amount of geometry being thrown around, and the simplicity of the textures compared to current gen games. Of course, the high res graphics also makes things stand out more. In addition to sharper textures, it also seems that the characters are a little bit bigger, but that may be our eyes playing tricks on us. Even when not played in the supported 1080p resolution (eds note: stop going out with the housewives, Andrew, and you might be able to afford one of those fancy new Bravias), the difference is noticeable to anyone who has played the original material extensively.

The graphics are definitely a notch above the arcade version.

After a couple of hours of playing through the game, we're happy to report that this is easily the best surprise ever.īased on the latest arcade version of the highly popular fighting series, Dark Resurrection for the PS3 delivers with a number of improvements, including high-res graphics and a new playable character in Jinpachi. We announced earlier that Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection had hit the Japanese PlayStation Store earlier than anyone had expected.
