Tekken 5 tries to hold a candle to Soul Calibur
Soul Calibur is our fighter of choice, so consider us biased. The new screenshots of Tekken 5 on Worthplaying look good enough, but that's not the gripe. Namco definitely knows how to make good eye candy. It's the control scheme in the Tekken games that we take issue with - it always feels so forced. Soul Calibur's controls somehow seem like they flow into the character on the screen. Not sure how they do that, but it's true. Controlling a Tekken character feels like a bad thumb-wrestling session with your spastic nephew. Disagree? Come on. Hit me with your best shot. We have an up/up/down/up/trigger button move ready to go.
