So this game is deemed the black sheep of the series by many. And I can see why. But that doesn't mean it's a bad game. No no no! If anything it's the most innovative Tekken out of all of them. (Well, it tries to be anyway.)

The gameplay is a lot different and bold due to the uneven terrain on the stages which I see what they were trying to do. But it does mess up combos a lot and the main throw button just has you flipping to the right position. Kinda a big flaw there with the controls.

However, the one thing that this game does better than all the games is the Story. Tekken 4's story mode is sick as hell. It went so dark and I love that they did that! It's the best storytelling they've done throughout these games. I loved it!

(Story note: I don't care what Harada says. Kazuya beat Heihachi in the tournament. Fuck you. Fight me. Kek.)

Speaking of Kazuya, he's back in this one! And he plays really well. But his uppercut I found to be not so effective as other games. Also, his 2P outfit is cool but kinda bland. (Digging the shades though.)

Overall, Tekken 4 is great. It tried to be more innovative this time round by trying new things. Some of it worked. Some didn't. Least they tried it out. I still enjoy this game though. It's one of my gulity favourites in the series. lol.

Also, Tekken Force. sigh. What a pain in the ass that is.
