Tekken 6 (PSP) Review

After the success of Tekken: Dark Resurrection, it wasn't a huge surprise when Namco Bandai announced that Tekken 6 would also be arriving on the PlayStation Portable. Impressively though, Namco are doing everything they can to make the Portable version as close possible to the home console, with the game including a ton of characters, stages and modes. How does this all translate to Sony's handheld offering?

Despite attempting to match the home console versions, there is one notable omission. Scenario Campaign, Tekken 6's main story mode, isn't present in the PlayStation Portable version, meaning there is no Tekken Force mode to be found anywhere. It doesn't leave a huge hole though, as the more minor story mode is still present. This allows players to choose a character and get a small blurb about the character's situation, and why they want to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6. There are only four rounds though, and one of the rounds is against the incredibly annoying final boss. It's also very similar to Arcade mode, and aside from the fact there's a tiny amount of story, there isn't really any difference between the two.
