would do but i don't have it yet

I can see it dropping price very quickly. I think they released it at the wrong time.

Let us know what is like as Soul Calibur is looking a bit dated.

My copy arrived from ShopTo this morning.

Still learning the game though!

Initial thoughts: Graphics isn't brilliant but acceptable. Online isn't as laggy as what everyone has described it to be. Soundtrack is decent which makes you feel excited and engaged in the battle. It will take effort and time to learn one character and I currently main Hwoarang due to it's flexibility in kicks.

What is disappointing is that I can't watch matches while waiting for my turn in lobby.

Overall, I'm happy to have purchased this game at £29.85 and would be more than happy to keep it as one of my fighting game collections.

Save your money. It's crap.

Or to elaborate a little, it's no better (imo) than Tekken 1/2/3/4/5. Graphics a little worse even.

I can't remember when was the last time I played Tekken, think it was on the PS2.

I'll probably agree with you but then again, regardless of any Tekken series, it's still Tekken for you. They can't change much of the fighting mechanics or else it won't be Tekken anymore.

What I enjoy most is the selection of characters in this series.

just got mine this afternoon, haven't put it in yet. If its as good as the rest of the tekken series then i'll be happy. Spent many hours with mates playing tekken tag and tekken 4

Remember to install the game first!

Well worth 50p then?

Also does anyone running v1.6 know if its wave 3 or wave 4?

My mistake, i can watch matches while waiting in lobby

FYI:
Already reports of "Tekken 7" being considered!

Namco: "Lot of ideas" for Tekken 7
Wednesday 28-Oct-2009 11:55 AM

Including Fight Night-style facial movement, director tells CVG

Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada has "a lot of ideas" for Tekken 7, he's revealed in a CVG reader Q&A.

Answering a question from CVG reader 'Kain Carver', Harada said of his Tekken 7 plans: "Oh, there are a lot of ideas... I can't say too much yet, though.

"For example, we've got a new idea for a facial-expression system for when people get punched and so forth. It'd be a real thrill to see in action, so I definitely want to do that."

Elsewhere in the interview the Tekken director says that despite doom-sayers the fighting genre is "doing pretty well for itself" and he'd love to work on a cross-series fighting game.

Look out for the full CVG Reader Q&A later today.

(now with 11% of "Tekken 6" Trophies!)

it's wave 4. You need to either use the boot disk thats knocking about or patch it. Pm me if you need any help.

I got my copy yesterday as well and disagree with the comments posted. I think the gameplay and extra features are awesome. I purchased it on xbox 360 and I must say it takes a little getting used to the controls but once you get into it, you wont be putting it down for a long time.
