Product Description
The King of Iron Fist tournament returns! Set two years after the events of Tekken 3, Heihachi is trying to splice DNA from True Ogre into his own genome. It doesn't work, though -- he's missing the "Devil Gene" required to complete the task successfully. Of course, he knows just who has it -- Jin! However, things are complicated by the apparent resurrection of Heihachi's murdered son, Kazuya. Amidst this background of turmoil and intrigue, the new tournament begins.

5.0 out of 5 stars TEKKEN 4 A BIG IMPROVMENT TO A GREAT GAME, July 31, 2002

By	"madhatter__420" (some where) - See all my reviews

ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTING GAMES. Namco has really improved Tekken 4 from Tekken Tag in almost every way from the graphics to the movement of the characters. I know Tekken 4 is not out yet to most people, but I have been playing a copy for over 4 months. The only problem with my game is that it is from Asia so it is in Japanese with English subtitles, but those of you who order it from the states the game will be in English. I really recommend this game to anyone especially gamers who love the Tekken series. The graphics have been improved a lot. In a couple of stages, for example the beach levels, the water looks wonderful even when walking through it. The amount of characters in this game is short compared to all of the previous games, but they do give you most of the main and best ones. There are a couple new characters and some they changed a little and gave them a new name. Side stepping is really easy this time and smooth. The backgrounds are awesome as well as the characters movements. The training and practice modes are there to help with learning all the special combos and moves. Training of course tells you how to do the move and then you have to do it and practice u just does whatever you want to any character. The Tekken Force mode was a little bit harder then before and the levels where more interesting. Walls have been added which can be good for you or bad depending how you fight. Some of the stages are really small where you can get trapped in a wall while some one is doing a huge combo on you. But if you are the one doing the combo its really great. Also the begging movie is good. BASICALLY GET THIS GAME even if you are not that much into fighting games because it a blast...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great follow-up, October 5, 2002

By	Andrew W. Burke (Frederick, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been following and playing the Tekken series from Tekken 2 on up to the new Tekken 4. I won't be one of those saps that will challenge everybody on Amazon.com as they read this, for I know I'm good at the game and I'm pretty sure you are too. I just want to point out that Tekken 4 is so much better than Tekken 3, in terms of gameplay, music and sounds, environments, and story endings. The only drawback is that Tekken 4 does not have as many characters as Tekken Tag. I've tried to play other fighting games, but Tekken is without a doubt, the best fighting game around, and no other game compares. Learning wall strategy and the new sidestep and block techniques may be tricky at first (if you haven't played at the arcade), but dedicated gamers will learn this within 1 to 2 weeks at best. I've noticed that the computer AI is much smarter than in previous Tekkens, especially with Tekken Force. The Practice mode is unbelievable, because now you can command your computer opponent to perform a move in three different intervals, and practice blocking, evading, and countering it!!! I guarantee that this is a game you don't even have to rent first before you buy, because if you do, you may experience a "lackadaisical" attitude in taking it back to the video store. GET THIS GAME - YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!! - AWB

5.0 out of 5 stars best fighting game yet for the ps2, November 10, 2002

A Kid's Review

I haven't played much of the other Tekken games, so I can't compare them to Tekken 4. The one thing I can say is Tekken 4 is the best fighting game I've ever played. The graphics are awesome and everything is very well rendered. Each arena has its own look, and the good thing is they're all multi- leveled. There are many different characters to play as and each of them tends to have their own specialty like kicking, punching, speed, and strength. About half of the characters have to be unlocked, but it's not hard. I unlocked them all on normal difficulty in a week. Tekken 4 has every- thing, so if you're thinking of buying a fighting game for the ps2, drop Dead or Alive 2 and Virtua Fighter 4, and get Tekken 4; you won't regret it.
