This week's Critical Reception takes a look at Namco Bandai's
Tekken: Dark Resurrection for the PSP, the first PSP title for the
Tekken series.
This arcade port of the latest
Tekken update sits quite well with video game reviewers
scoring an 89% average according to GameRankings.com.
Yahoo! Games' Russ Fischer
summarizes and concludes: "
Tekken on the PSP features simply fantastic graphics, excellent play in a variety of modes, and suffers only minor setbacks from cramped controls. The verdict? A win!"
In elaborating on his qualms with the game's controls, he says, "The controls do suffer slightly from the PSP hardware. The size and positioning of the d-pad makes it less than ideal for inputting combos, especially when the time comes to nail a diagonal or perfect quarter-circle sweep. That aside, the performance and response are excellent."
