Well, but now I'm playing it, and it's awesome! It's easily the best Tekken game since 3, if not better! But what makes it so good? Well, for a start the sheer amount of content. There's 30 or so characters to choose from, each with its own story, there's the Devil Within mode which plays like a 3D action/platform game, and then there's perfect ports of the arcade versions of Tekken 1, 2, 3 and StarBlade! And, of course, not forget the usual modes like Story, Arcade, Team Battle, Time Attack, Survival or Training.
Not enough? Well, there's also the money you receive from playing these modes that you can use to buy accessories for your characters, and don't forget the Theater mode were you can watch the character's endings, most rendered in beautiful CGI, and the game's songs.
But what's content without a solid gameplay? Of course the one in Tekken 5 won't please everyone, but it's quite enjoyable and it represents a return to the game's roots, discarding some innovations present in Tekken 4 in favour of old favourites, like the endless arenas.
And then there's the graphics... Wikipedia says: "The graphics in Tekken 5 are sometimes referred to as the best on the Playstation 2 platform." You're dead right! The game's just gorgeous. The characters move fluidly, the arenas are beautifully created and the destructive elements are a great. Just look at it:
Of course, due to youtube's limitations, the actual game is much better
So, you're looking for a good 3D beat'em up? Look no further, for Tekken 5 is great in every way. Easy to learn, difficult to master, pretty addictive and with potential to entertain you for lot's of hours, this is a game everyone should try.

Yes, I'm convinced and that PS2 is closer than ever... Gotta find a modded one though...
What is the difference between this and the next gen iterations?
What exactly do you mean with "next gen iterations"? Tekken Dark Resurrection?
I thought Dark Resurrection WAS Tekken 5? I played it on the PSP and loved it. Tekken 3 is still a game I enjoy on my Dreamcast.
Better than Virtua Fighter though? Hmmm, I'm not sure...
Dark Ressurection indeed is an improved version of Tekken 5, but since it was also released on the PS3 maybe funnyman considers it a next gen iteration. Don't know, really, I'm still trying to figure out what he meant in his post.
Batter than VF? Hmm...I think they're too different to be compared. Tekken is just pure, stupid, arcade fun, with crazy characters and blasts of energy.
VF is more realistic, both in concept/presentation and gameplay, so I don't really think one is better than the other, just different.
Wise words Nebacha as usual!
I'm a bit VF biased at the moment 'cos I'm loving VF4 at the moment...
BTW to clarify, that's Tekken 3 with Bleem on the Dreamcast, I know Tekken 3 is a Playstation game! :P
