Tekken 5

Tekken 5 for the PlayStation 2 is a highly acclaimed 3D fighting game that marked a return to the series’ roots after its predecessors, focusing on polished gameplay, a diverse roster, and a deep, engaging single-player experience. Released in 2004, it introduced a new “Crush System” that makes attacks less likely to be interrupted, fostering more strategic offense. The game brings back classic characters, introduces new ones, and revamps the “Devil Within” beat-’em-up side mode for Jin Kazama. Notably, the PS2 version includes arcade-perfect ports of the original Tekken, Tekken 2, and Tekken 3 as unlockables, offering immense value and a comprehensive look at the series’ history.
