Overall this is a great quality game. Loading times kind of throw the story line off a bit because it takes a while but the map is very large so I might be being a bit picky. The controls and gameplay mechanics are very good. With all of the items you can collect in this game, they did a very good job of simplifying the way you select your items
What's great about it: Game mechanics, graphics, story line, controls, very large map
What's not so great: too much loading, long loading times
"Power is Everything." This is the law of Tekken. All seek it. All are consumed by it. In the end, all bow to its immutable logic. Each warrior has a unique motivation for entering the 6th King of the Iron Fist Tournament: Respect. Vengeance. Honor. Righteousness. Family.

I preordered this with high expectations. I have played every Tekken ever! This was no different. First thing I noticed was the funny sounding voices for the characters. then the slow loading times were awful. I installed the game and that seemed to help...a little. Playing online runs a lot smoother than what it did on Tekken 5dr but the layout of the online campaign is terrible. You never have the chance to rematch on a ranked battle unless you just get lucky and get put with that person again, the rooms with more than two people in them are not ranked anymore. I do like how each individual character has there own ranking instead of a total ranking. that gets people to use more than just one person all of the time. I would still prefer to play 5dr than this one though.
What's great about it: New moves, a few decent new characters, battle arenas, it's Tekken
What's not so great: online gameplay, character voices, characters look funny at certain points
