Tekken 5
Tekken 5 is the sixth installment in the main Tekken series of fighting games, developed and published by Namco in 2004 (arcade release) and 2005 (PlayStation 2 release). It continues the storyline from Tekken 4, focusing on the aftermath of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 and the rise of the Mishima Zaibatsu's new leader, Jin Kazama.
The game features a refined fighting system, reintroducing elements removed in Tekken 4, such as the traditional stage movement and the return of many beloved characters. It also introduces three new playable characters: Asuka Kazama, Raven, and Feng Wei.
Tekken 5 includes a single-player arcade mode, a story mode unique to each character, a team battle mode, a survival mode, and a practice mode. A notable addition is the "Devil Within" mode, a side-scrolling beat 'em up game featuring Jin Kazama.
The home console version, released for the PlayStation 2, boasts enhanced graphics, additional content, and the ability to play emulated versions of Tekken, Tekken 2, and Tekken 3 within the game itself. Tekken 5 is considered by many fans and critics to be a return to the classic Tekken gameplay style, and a significant improvement over its predecessor.
