TEKKEN 5: Dark Resurrection Online

Tekken 5 is the 6th episode in the best - selling Tekken video game franchise. It integrates a faster, better graphics, more fluid fighting system, returning characters, and some of the Tekken series' trademark unlimited stages. Tekken 5 is attributable for taking the series back to its roots. New to Tekken 5 is the crush system which affects the vulnerability of a character while he attacks. For example, a move with jumping properties, such as a hopkick, will be completely invulnerable during most of its animation time to all of an opponent's low attacks.

The home adaptation is a collector's edition of sorts, as it includes full arcade emulations of Tekken 1, Tekken 2, Tekken 3 and Star Balde. Tekken 5 also allowed players to customize their fighter for the first time, allowing them to change the colors of their outfits, buy additional costumes (only available to a few characters), and equip them with items by using money gained from playing the Story, Survival, and Arcade Battle modes.It also retains its wall juggling concept from Tekken 4, but the element is effectively less easy to abuse and easier to defend against.

The game also uses a finite button system, incorporating a Block and Jump button as well as sizing down the attack buttons to simple "Punch" and "Kick" buttons. Along with fighting various Jack models in the mini-game, the player must pursue minor key quests to proceed.

Tekken 5 includes a fighting mini-game in direct lineage to the Tekken Force modes in Tekken 3 and Tekken 4 called "Devil Within". This mini-game follows the adventures of Jin Kazama as he searches the G Corporation in search for information on his missing mother and other answers. Being somewhat story oriented, the player is not permitted to use their own choice of characters like previous iterations.This mode is one of the two ways to unlock the playable version of Jin's Devil incarnation.
