Tekken 5 2005

Is it still worth playing?

Namco's 2004 arcade fighting game, ported to the PlayStation 2 in 2005, the fifth main Tekken and a marker of the series' tenth anniversary. The home version includes the arcade versions of Tekken, Tekken 2, Tekken 3 and StarBlade. A new system changes how open a character is while attacking, since a move with jumping properties, such as a hop kick, is invulnerable to low attacks for most of its animation. Its stages dropped their raised and lowered floors, so fights take place in fairly symmetrical boxes whose floors can crack under hard hits. On top of that, your fighter can be customized for the first time, with outfit colors, costumes and items bought with money earned in Story, Survival, Time Attack and Arcade Battle. Moves that slip past low attacks still give each match a layer of tactics today, with a fighter dressed your own way.
