un picchiaduro come pochi, tecnico e divertente e con una modalità storia di tutto rispetto a distanza di 21 anni resta ancora uno dei migliori tekken. 8.7/10

Tekken 5 es el marco sobre el que opera las mecánicas de los Tekken contemporáneos y supone una revolución absoluta mucho más amplia que lo que supuso Tekken 3 y Tekken Tag Tournament. Surgió en un momento histórico donde las cinemáticas que plantea funcionaban en sintonía con el mundo de internet primitivo y nos presentó un título que, como juego doméstico, como experiencia de ocio interactiva en el hogar, no ha sido superada a fecha de hoy.

Even though dark resurrection has more content, tekken 5 by itself is still a 10/10 game. Everything from gameplay to characters is amazing

"Tekken 5" is a terrific fighting game. It's a more refined version of what came before. The combat is faster-paced, the graphics are slicker and the roster is bigger (32 fighters). You can customize your character with alternative costumes, colors, items and accessories. In addition to the Story mode, you can partake in Survival, Time Attack and Arcade Battle. There is also "Devil Within", a beat 'em up mini-game that serves as a side-story. And on top of that, Tekken 1 - 3 are included. Overall, I would rate "Tekken 5" with a 9 out of 10.

Tekken 5 is a peak fighting game experience. It has a good graphics for it's time, great characters introduced, has a vast customization, new setof moves, and one of the greatest stories of the Tekken series. It's a solid choice, and Tekken 5 could be one of the best fighting games in the history.

O primeiro Tekken de ps2 rechaeado de personagens e com melhorias absurdas nos gráficos. Ótima pedida até hoje pra quem curte um estilo de luta técnico e frenéticos. Ainda é o primeiro Tekken que é possível mudar a roupa do seu personagem favorito e mudar tanto as cores quanto as combinação dos itens adquiridos ao longo do jogo. Talvez os únicos pontos fracos são o modo de luta com o Jin Kazama tentando voltar as origens do Tekken Force eeu prefiro um estilo de jogo mais lento imitando a velocidade de uma pessoa normal que nem o Tekken 4.

"Tekken 5" is one of the best fighting games on the PS2. Combat is faster-paced and more refined than in previous entries. The roster is made up of 32 fighters including 7 new characters. You can customize them with new costumes, colors, items and accessories. There are also several modes to choose from including Story, Survival, Time Attack, Arcade Battle and the side-story, "Devil Within". In addition, "Tekken" 1 - 3 are included. In terms of graphics, this is one of the best looking titles on the console. Overall, I would rate "Tekken 5" with a 9 out of 10.

One of the greatest fighter games, I would give it a 10 if the difficulty of the story mode and The Devil Within mode final boss was fair.

The fighting game i played the most in my life. I played it for years, with so many people that i could not make a list. From family to HS friends, to college friends, to coworkers.

Objectively the best Tekken game, even though it's outdated for today's standards, it's still a pretty good package overall.
The character roster is just perfect, every character looks and plays well.
The core gameplay is fun but unfortunately a bit unbalanced, and the boss fights can be quite challenging.
The music is great, and the stages look nice.
I consider this game the peak of the series, it's a very complete game.
Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.

Tekken 5 is a fighting game developed and published by Namco for the arcades in 2004, and for the PlayStation 2 in 2005. It is the fifth main and sixth installment, in the Tekken series.

Not quite as good as Soulcalibur II, but the best of the Tekken games also comes bundled with the arcade versions of Tekken's 1, 2 & 3 making it an essential purchase for beat 'em up fans.

Masterpiece game. The story is so enjoyable, scoring is really great, visual is decent, and the voice is stunning

The best "Tekken" game on the PS2. It's visually spectacular, features a ton of fighters and several modes. It is the PlayStation 2's equivalent to the Xbox's "Dead or Alive 3". This is a must own for the fans of the fighting genre. Great stuff. I would rate it with a 9.2 out of 10.

Simple y llanamente, de pequeño iba a casa de un amigo de mis padres solo para jugar a Tekken 5 y flipar viendo la barriga de Jinpachi.

Doesn't include all the classic characters (!) and offers them as DLC !
Controller disconnects everytime when you go to main-menue.
Simple Plug and Play to play versus? Good luck with that!

Несомненно это лучший файтинг в который я играл при том что я играл в MK.
Эта игра выделяется своим сюжетом .НЕВЕРОЯТНО прописанными персонажами.
каст сценами после боев. кастомизации персонажей он в игре шедевральная.
и конечно же боевой системе она в игре лакомый кусочек. К каждому персонажу надо иметь свой подход ведь у всех персов в игре разные комбинации боевых приемов но пусть это вас не пугает ведь просто так играть тоже можно но будет немного тяжело .Те геймеры которые пишут про сложность игры то есть сложность на легком режиме хахахаха вот вы казуалы
надо набить руку к игре а не писать гневные комментарии. .Джимпачи не сложный босс, надо знать повадки босса .Когда он выстреливает своим огненным шаром надо уклонятся итд. Мне было сложнее зарегистрироваться на этот сайт чем победить Джимпачи. Ну и к минусам ведь они тут есть, плоховатые каст сцены когда ты выбрал персонажа, ИИ может вести себя туповато но это я наверное придираюсь. В игре прекрасный OST особенно в финале и вообще во всей игре. СПАСИБО ЧТО ПОДАРИЛА ДЕТСТВО TEKKEN 5.........

Can I say this is my favorite fighting game ever? Well, i guess so. Almost twenty years later, you can play it and still get the same vibes the present tekken give you, with no doubt, whatever the tekken 10 or 234597 be in that day. Also, it had the arcade games and a lot of playing modes, it was the whole-package. Ten, ten, ten across the boards, honey.

While Tekken 5 took some steps into the right direction for the series, it also scarified some of its characters in the process.

An excellent arcade fighter from that time. If you find it at a game shop buy it (it's like £5 max) call a friend or don't, sit down and tackle reasonably balanced ai using all sorts of combos. It's characters are unique and fun to use so you won't get to bored with the game. Absolutely worth it overall 9/10.

Easily one of the best entries in the Tekken series and one of the best fighting games on the PlayStation 2, Tekken 5 takes the series to the next level. The fighting is a lot of fun to learn and pulling off combos and special attacks can be very satisfying. The graphics look great for its time and there are many modes outside the main story mode to provide challenges for the player, such as Arcade Mode, Time Attack and Survival Mode. My favorite mode is easily the Arcade Mode, as I had played 33 stages to get to the top. However, there are some issues with the game, such the enemy AI can be a pain in the ass to beat and the final boss is very difficult. The boss is so overpowered, it took me a long time to beat him. That's **** Anyway, Tekken 5 is still a great fighting game and I highly recommend it to any fan of the franchise.

Básicamente es el mejor juego de la saga superando incluso al Tekken 3. La jugabilidad es magnífica y el modo historia uno de los mejores de la saga. Simplemente brutal.

One of the best Tekken games so far, it is amazing playing with this characters such as Yoshimitsu, Jin Kazama... Every character with their own story but everyones ends with the iconic final boss, Jinpachi Mishima.

Overrated as hell by the fans Tekken 3 is still better Tekken did not have it easy in the PS2 era.

The final game of what I would consider the "Tekken classic age", as well as my second favorite Tekken title. This has the sensibilities of a classic 3D fighter, but you can feel the leanings to more modern style of Tekken. The juggles aren't MvC-level half HP wonkiness like later entries, but are probably best combination of damage and execution based that the series has. The game has many modes, a beat-up-up mode, a story mode (like a basic arcade mode), another story mode based on Jin, and my personal favorite, arcade mode. The arcade mode in this is not your standard 8 fights and then get a character ending. It is more akin to playing an endless stream of enemies, and ranking up after so many wins to fight harder ranked enemies until you hit "Tekken Lord" rank. This mode really lets you test your stuff against an AI and you can really see your improvements as you go up. Tekken 5 is a solid 3D fighter, and a neat little send off to the classic Tekken formula (it even has Tekkens 1, 2 and 3 on-disk) before the series became all e-sports.

A great Tekken with exciting gameplay, a large roster, memorable stages, and tons of content. The Devil Within adventure mode is a bit dull and not as good as Tekken Force and the final boss of the Story Mode is undeniably cheap, but that is balanced out by a polished product that even features full versions of the first three Tekken games!

The game that revived the series after the mixed reception of Tekken 4. I love this game.
The graphics were so realistic for the time and were a big improvement over Tekken 4. They looked so impressive. I love the stage designs much more than Tekken 3 and Tekken 4. The soundtrack is THE best out of the series. I dare say it's better than the Tekken 3 soundtrack. The sound effects are brilliant. I love the sound of punches, kicks and deathcries.
The gameplay is better than Tekken 4. It brought back a lot of the original characters and also gave us the original trilogy in arcade form which was really good. It also gave us one of the most famous and hardest final bosses in fighting game history.
I did like the Devil Within mini game but it was too short. The Starlight mini game was disappointing. The AI is also very unforgiving and heavily unbalanced.
It is so much fun though despite its flaws. This is a must buy.

Не больше и не меньше, абсолютный шедевр от жанра файтингов. Эталон на долгие годы вперед, всем конкурентам.
