![]() ![]() Guardrails, concrete pillars, jungle tree stumps, and even automobiles are but a few of the many objects blocking the path to the enemy. That ability has still made it into the forth edition, but it's practicality and commonality has been greatly reduced and the emphasis on straight-ahead fighting is encouraged because of the room-based stages. It was a technique used primarily by arcade scrubs who couldn't memorize their ten-strings or cheap hits, and more times than I like to remember I'd watch many a Tekken newbie get picked apart by some crazy Jin and Ogre slide action. In the past, one player could back up until the camera pans into a far view before dashing at their opponent full speed. Probably Namco's wisest decision, the tighter fighting arenas discourage the run and gun tactics we found in Tag and Tekken 3. No longer free to roam the field in a never-ending parallel line, players are now required to fight within the spaces given to them and use the obstacles around them as part of their strategy. Gameplay The most drastic change this year is the inclusion of walls and confined spaces. This installment was the best in the series I thought, it had to be. Impressed with the translation from arcade to console, I found myself caught up in the hype of playing a brand new Tekken adventure and reveled in the glory of all the extra features and modes. When we received our import copies in May, I was the first one to rip into the cellophane and pound the buttons until I could pound them no more. An admitted fan boy, I had mixed emotions about the differences on several levels: Though I loved the fact that you could now fight within enclosed arenas instead of infinitely open areas, I was dismayed when I learned that tagging a partner had been nixed. A near-drastic change from the previous four games, Tekken 4 has made more alterations to its fighting engine than we have previously seen. Implementing the 'sidestep' and tag features for the third installment and Tekken Tag respectfully, the designers at Namco continued to wow us with their innovation and dedication to improvement and left us to imagine what Tekken 4 would bring. Humbly planting its roots as "that other" 3D fighter in the wake of Virtua Fighter and Battle Arena Toshinden, and then rising to prominence with the follow-up (still considered by many an old-school masher to be the greatest "3D" fighter of all time), Tekken has always raised the bar a notch higher than what the rest of the world was expecting. Consistently improving in all aspects, the journey from Tekken 1 to Tekken Tag Tournament has been the perfect example of digital evolution.
