The Tekken series has spanned arcades and consoles over many years, often raising the bar for what a fighting game should be. Tekken: Dark Resurrection continues with that tradition and offers new characters, fighting moves, and extras.

Character graphics demonstrate model detail, smooth animation, and great textures. The soundtrack and effects are equally impressive, and best experienced with headphones. Controls are superior to many other fighting games, although some combos are impossible without extensive practice with the PSP's directional buttons.

Play options include Practice, Quick Battle, Arcade, Attack, Dojo, and Network WiFi for two players. While there is no online multi-player, "Ghosts" are available online and downloaded through the Network option. "Ghosts" change opponent AI by simulating real players, and make single-player battles significantly more interesting.

Excellent presentation and a myriad of additional options give Tekken: Dark Resurrection serious replay value. There are several other solid PSP fighting titles, but aficionados of the fighting genre will find this the game to own.
