Graphics: 9.5 Graphics are superb, they look just like they do from the PS2 version which says a lot, seeing as they look better than most games on that console. The models are all very smooth and the animation is looking pretty much perfect. Sound: 8 The sound is really good quality for a game, using lots of upbeat electronic tracks to match the energy of the fights complimenting the gameplay well. However some of the sound design elements are using recordings that come from at least Tekken 2 and 3, which really should've been updated by now as they tend to make certain parts feel dated. Easily overlooked. Gameplay: 8 Dark Resurrection plays just like the previous games do, most of the characters from the previous games are here with the same movelist and a few changes. Movement and controls are the same, and for the most part that's a really good thing but it does bring in the same flaws as before. It's all too easy to find a move to use to beat up an opponent once they're on the ground and keep them there until you've won. It's certainly much more in-depth than Tekken has ever been before with new mode additions such as 'Tekken Dojo,' here you can train to promote your current rank and title which really benefits the replay element. Replay Value: 8 There's hours and hours of gameplay here as it takes a really long time just to master one character, you'd be sure to be occupied for months if you desire to become good at all of the characters. It's challenging as well, certainly more so than Tekken 3. Going through Tekken Dojo, Time Attack, Survival, Story Mode, Tekken Bowl, Gold Rush, Command Attack etc really gives the player a lot of options as to what to do, and most are fairly lengthy enough. Though sadly there is no Tekken Force. Overall: It's a really solid beat 'em up game, and it wouldn't be too much to say it's one of the best on any platform. When a game looks, sounds, and feels as good as this does for as long as it does, it's no wonder Tekken are quick to go platinum.
