It's hard to believe that more than a decade has passed since Tekken premiered in the arcades. It's even harder to believe that we have a portable Tekken fighting games on the Playstation Portable that we can play games on the go but we do. While I'll admit that my interest wained after Tekken 3(even though I've played them all), my interest and fever for the series is back in full force with this installment.
Except for the Devil Within & Arcade History modes, everything from Tekken 5 made it over to the PSP. Several things were improved upon, like the character customization mode as well as the adding of two new characters. Mini-games like Gold rush, Tekken Bowling and Dojo Mode are extremely cool. Tekken: Dark Resurrection will surely be the game all other PSP fighters will be judged by from now on.

One thing that Tekken: Dark Resurrection proves, most of all, is that great console fighters can be brought to the PSP with no problems. That's really promising for fans of such technical fighters such as Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter and Dead or Alive. Their dreams of portable versions of these classics could actually come true if developers were inclined to do so. Personally; I'd love to see portable versions of my favorite console fighters myself (like Street Fighter EX, Project Justice, Bloody Roar, Naruto, and Super Dragonball Z).
In conclusion, if you're looking for a tremendous 3-D fighter that can show what the Playstation Portable is capable of graphically and otherwise, look no further than Tekken: Dark Resurrection.
