I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This game got worse over time.

When it came out, I was really excited. I had a lot of fun doing Story Mode and seeing the new characters. And then I saw Lucky Chloe...

Lucky...fucking...Chloe.

Also, the graphics haven't aged well. Most of the characters have really bad sweat around them and the hair looks so greasy. It's like they've been wrestling in oil. It's so disgusting. Tekken 6's graphics look way better imo.

The rage arts are ok. But they are very bland. Devil Kazuya's is easily the best.

Story Mode. sigh. It's terrible. BUT, the final battle between Kazuya and Heihachi is so fucking good that I'd throw it in as one of the best final fights in gaming history. It truly is the final battle and this game does a great job hyping it up. (F for Heihachi.) Too bad the rest of the story doesn't add up.

And that Narrator. He's so boring. Nearly fell asleep in between cutscenes.

However, the music in this game is so fucking awesome. Heat Haze Shadow and Devil's Pit are shining examples of that.

Guest Characters are ok. Akuma is dope. And a great secret boss at the end of story mode. (10 Star Shin Akuma is insanely difficult and I love it!) Geese Howard? Yeah, pretty cool. Noctis? Why isn't he in SoulCalibur?! And Negan from the Walking Dead?! The fuck?! He's more for Mortal Kombat.

The rest of the DLC though is ridiculous. Why the fuck are so many of the characters from previous games now have to be paid for? That is so annoying.

Online is really bad. The netcode is so broken and Online Tournaments are a mess.

And now for my biggest problem with this game: Lack of singleplayer modes. No Team Battle. No Survival. No Time Attack! Just Treasure Battle and Arcade Mode. Arcade is too short and Treasure Battle is so shit.

Customization in this game is really shit compared to Tekken 6 and most of the parts are locked behind Treasure Battle, forcing you to play that only to end up getting rewards for a character YOU HAVEN'T EVEN BOUGHT! WHAT THE FUCK, NAMCO?!

Yeah, this game was great starting out but it aged badly. Honestly, you'd have a better time on PC with the Mods people have made. They make it way better graphics-wise. (Most of the stage filters are ugly too.)

Really hyped for Tekken 8 though. That looks so promising. Namco, please bounce back with Tekken 8.
