IGN:
"At last night's Namco Bandai event in San Francisco, I was able to get some hands-on time with the hotly anticipated fighting game, Tekken 6, after more details about the game were provided during the company's formal presentation. The Tekken series has been around since 1995 and has sold a total of 33 million units across the entire franchise. The next iteration of the series will be hitting the PS3, 360 and the PSP this fall and will feature console-specific content that "the team is well known for." After watching a guitar-heavy trailer featuring plenty of gameplay clips, I sat down with the game and tried it out for the first time. Although my experience was limited to four characters from a roster of more than 30, it was great to finally play it.If you're new to the Tekken party, I'll give you the basics. For many years, Tekken has occupied the 3D fighter realm, giving players the ability to fight one-on-one with a host of different characters. Although Tekken 6 is bringing a few new additions to the table, most of the gameplay mechanics will be very familiar to gamers that have followed the series. At the very core, each character has four attacks -- usually two punches and two kicks. Special moves can be executed by combining the two together and throws are also a vital aspect of the combat.
The four available fighters in the demo build were Jin, Kazuya, Zafina and Bob. Playing across a variety of levels, I fought several matches as each character, though I've already taken to Zafina. She's clearly the weirdest of the four, especially when you factor in her victory animation which has her crawl off the screen like a spider. She uses a variety of stances" that modify her move set, making her a much more advanced character than the other three. "
