Tekken: Dark Resurrection
After Tekken 5 has died down in the halls of slot machines and went to PS2, Namco has decided to maintain the interest of gamers to the series, will release an updated version of its fighting game - Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. From the arcade game went straight to the PSP, incidentally lost the number "5" in the title.

The first question you probably ask yourself - as Tekken suffered a transfer to a portable console? We hasten to reassure you - craftsmen from Namco tried to glory. The game has everything that was in the original, and even more. Tekken for the PSP - it's the rare case when the game is not seen as a stripped-down version of its "elder" relatives, as well as finished products. At the first turn will instruct you in the Tutorial, will say and how to push. Veterans of the series is not particularly useful, but newcomers will quickly learn what's what. As they say, a trifle, but nice.

Silent, silent ... Pay multiplied by five times. Dragunov pleased.
The plot of the game changes compared with the fifth part has not undergone. Dzimpati Mishima, grandfather Heyhati Mishima, inexplicably resurrected and can fight all agreed on the first number, arranging the next championship. Why are dead so mad, you will find out after playing for more than three dozen characters. Among them, incidentally, there are two newcomers. Lily - a spoiled beauty, the daughter of a wealthy businessman, who like everyone who does not love dubolomnyh fighters. The second rookie - Russian fighter Sergei Dragunov - unlike most of his countrymen, found in the games, you should not stereotype of the "big pumped chiropractor" (though he did not break off the hand of his opponent). The delight of fans back in the series and Armor King. All three characters appear in a totally new intro and like the old heroes have their own story cinematics.

The combat system is, of course, not fundamentally changed since the fifth part. The old methods have added a new, tweaked the balance changed the way we perform some punches. Now the only thing that interferes with normal play - cross PSP. Since it is difficult to make the horizontal motion that is impeding carry out some attacks. The following may be used, but is required for this is not one hour of play. And so masterly cranking unbelievable combo will do soon. If desired, you can switch to analog control, but it has its problems. In particular, quickly press twice forward very difficult. The situation may fix a special attachment to the crossbar, which is inserted (and completely free of charge) in the Japanese version of the game. But the existence of such an accessory in the European version of the Dark Ressurection unlikely.

He is too calm for that kind of shock, do not you think? It seems that the enemy is waiting for an electric shock.
As always, Namco is not stingy on the single-player modes. In addition to spanning the mini-games and bonuses like "Theatre", where you can view all the screensavers from the game, there was a number of new regimes. For example, Tekken Dojo - analog Arcade Mode from Tekken 5. Only now we travel to different places indicated on the map, raising its rank by participating in various championships and earning money. Them we spend on purchasing a variety of accessories for the characters and other bonuses. Adding to its individuality and learning to pet him play, you can record your own fighting style in a special mode Ghost and send this information over the network. After all anyone can download "ghost" through your computer or your PSP and try to fight with your virtual protagonist. Do not forget the developers and about multiplayer via Ad-hoc. Even if your opponent has no game disc, then no problems - at your service feature Game Sharing (joint play).

Of course, a significant role in the overall attractiveness of Tekken Dark Resurrection is the schedule. In recent games for the PSP make it clear what people are overpaid money by choosing between a portable consoles from Sony and Nintendo. Dark Resurrection - one of the finest games for the PSP. In this area, it can be compared only Daxter yes Tomb Raider Legend, and among handheld fighting game competitors do not. Characters on its detail is not much inferior to his colleagues on the PS2, but the beauty of combat arenas game exceeds some fighting games on home consoles. Special effects, though diminished in number compared to the arcade version, are at the highest level. The only problem - the frame rate, which during the commercials on the engine is equal to thirty fps. The game provides a stable sixty fps during combat. Strange, but true. In addition, the PSP screen is clearly unable to cope with the speed with which the characters perform their tricks. Ghost train pursues any fighter throughout the game and is especially noticeable during the victory stands, and plot prompts on the engine.

The new arena. Pink hues, hearts everywhere. Who are you? - Mirror. - And the wings? - Distorting Mirror ...
One can not tell and the voice acting. Practically all the characters speak their native language, ie "yaponoamerikantsev" in the game there. But there is a "yaponorussky" (Sergei Dragunov), but it is possible to forgive. Changes were made and the music, which now sets the mood during the battle much more successful than the original Tekken 5. Allow ourselves the liberty to say that the soundtrack of Tekken: Dark Resurrection - the most successful in the history of the series.

In general, the game makes a good impression. Have you seen the trailer advertising the game or not, watching the fighting record or not - it does not matter. Even if you plan ahead to get a quality product, at the first turn on the game your jaw will be on the floor.All a few flaws that were mentioned above, can not stop to have fun. Namco seriously came to porting games to the PSP, saving all that for which the fans love the series Tekken. Have not stinted on the new CG-movies, and single-player modes, the company issued a first-class game that no competitors in fighting games on hendheldah. Yes, everything is so good.
