After the completion of The King of Iron First Tournament 4, a fierce battle between father and son unfolded at Mishima Heihachi, his grandfather-but spares both Kazuya and Heihachi's lives in honor of his mother who loved peace. While many presume the death of Heihachi Mishima will end the reign of Mishima Zaibatsu, an announcement is made for the fifth king of Iron First Tournament, with an unknown replacement to Heihachi leading the organization. The fight begins.

A lot of people have said that Tekken 4 was a complete flop, which I'm not sure I agree with, but Tekken 5 wipes the floor with all its predecessors! All the favourite characters are back, with a few new additions. Jun Kazama is back in the form of Asuka Kazama i.e. same moves, different person.
The movesets of the characters somehow feel much fuller than in previous games, rather than each character having a certain number of decent moves which they just use over and over again. The story mode is the same as ever but the arcade mode is by far what extends the life of this game. In this mode, you can take your chosen character up the ranks from 10th kyu to tekken lord, with the opponents increasing in difficulty as you go on (obviously). This mode is very good at teaching new players how to fight with the various characters as you really need to develop your skills in order to progress. Especially if you're fighting an opponent of sage level or above, you need to be a very tricky fighter to win!
This game also places much more emphasis on juggles than previous installments which can be annoying as it means that if you get caught in midair, the computer will take half your life before you hit the ground! It also annoys your mates when you play them because you become a bit of a demon at juggling as well!
All in all, an excellent game which you will come back to again and again. I hope Tekken 6 is as good!

Ahh, the Tekken series. Probably the most influential series of 3D fighting games outside of the Virtua Fighter games. Tekken 5 is a welcome return to form for this true master of the genre. With the 4th game just a distance memory, this takes the series forward (or back, depending on how you look at things). Tekken 5 uses the tried and trusted Tekken gameplay, while still making everything feel fresh. Characters, that once before were just mere clones of certain main ones, are now fully fleshed out - with moves of their own. Anna Williams for example, is now not a clone of her sister Nina.
When people mention Tekken, they usually think of people who have mastered every single command and move, while spending hours upon hours practising to hone their 'mad skillz' - as it were. Making the game unplayable for beginners to the genre. This, I think, is far from the truth. Tekken 5 welcomes new and veterans to the series alike. Whereas button-bashing pretenders to Tekken's crown, coughDeadorAlivecough, leave you feeling somewhat cold. Tekken on the other hand leaves you feeling a great sense of satisfaction when you play. Yes, Tekken 5 has its button-bashing characters - but every single character IS unique... and how unique they look! Arguably the best looking PS2 game to date. With gorgeous backdrops, fluid, realistic animation and textures that would look at home on any next-gen console.
Music wise, it's back to form mix between techno/dance we've come to know and love from Tekken. The least we say about Tekken 4's music the better! You've got your usual Story mode to run through with each character. To see why they've entered the tournament, etc. But this 5th edition borrows the human AI mode of Virtua Fighter 4. This has replaced the Arcade mode in name, and pits you against humans who have uploaded/downloaded their data from the Tekken arcade machine from all over the world. It's a welcome challenge, even though it doesn't even compare to facing a real-life human opponent. All-in-all, this is the true homecoming of a master. Easily the best Tekken to date, and probably the best 3D fighter in existence. Though I am partial to abit of Soul Calibur... heh.

Fun:
Firstly, to Ivor Johson, this is Tekken 5, not Tekken 4...but hey, Tekken 4 wasn't that good anyway, so...
Anway. When I was a child, my cousins fav game on the PSX was the original Tekken, adn I loved it. THen he got Tekken 2, and I was like "oh this is the best thing ever". Then, I got some tekkens of my own (3, Tag and 4) and my brother tried to make em play them, but I just thoguht they were terrible. Boring, repetitive and just...bland. PLus, FAR too slow. Anyway, Tekken 5 came out...and I was blown away. The graphics are awesome, the speed of the fighting is DOA-like and the controls are incredibly easy to master, unlike DOA where controls are down-right complicated, this game truly is pick-up-and-play.
Highly, Highly recommended

Just short of the perfect game...
Best Tekken in my opinion, partly because it includes the arcade versions of tekken 1, 2 and 3!
Faster pace than previous tekkens, huge rooster of characters, many more... Read more

Another Tekken but they made sure it was worth it
I have to say when I first heard of Tekken 5 coming out I did start to wonder, what really will they do to honestly make 5 a better experience than past Tekkens? Read more

another great tekken game.
this game is, in one word, brilliant.
it has a great story to it, many different modes to play in, so many characters to choose from and loads of extras to unlock. Read more

The beat-em-up saga continues...
After Tekken's prime being on the PSone, they have attempted as much as possible to cram in as many extra features as possible to make people by new installments. Read more
