I fortunately had the chance to give this a try at an event not too long ago.
#TEKKEN 7 STORY SERIES#
5.5/10 easily one of the worst in the series and sadly we won't get tag tournament 3 for this generation either. the game overall is very lackluster in its modes, customizations and story, online is fun but as for the single player the game feels really empty, no survival or team battle, after a few weeks you'll be absolutely done with this game unless you have a friend to play with. as for the characters themselves why the hell lei or anna are not in the main roster? that's such a cheap move so now you have to pay for them too.

well forget about it here you get 5 random fights and by the end you get nothing after beating kazumi (she's also a disappointing last boss) now for the cutscenes you only need to win 1 battle with another random character and the cutscenes are very uninteresting, they're all unfunny, it's mostly someone running away from something. remember when you played the arcade mode for example in Tekken 5 every character had one or two rivalry in the middle and by the end you would get a (mostly fun) cutscene. the story if you can call it that is very generic and if you cut the last fight between kazuya and heihachi (which was the only cool part) the story has nothing to offer compare to the previous tekken games. The gameplay is fun and it has improved over the years and the graphics are fine (the hair looks very dated) but boy oh boy this game is underwhelming. When the next game comes out, they better improve on these mistakes, because if they don't this franchise will die.

I really did not like this game at all, as a massive Tekken fan, this was such a disappointment. Really you didn't have Lei Wulong in the original line up? But online mode is alright I suppose. But the the exlusion of some characters from the in game ones, was ridiculous. I also liked the customisation side to the game, and applaud the developers for not taking advantage of this and blasting it with miscrotransactions. It is also good that each character is balanced, and none feels overly powerful. Despite my hate for this game, it isn't all that bad, the graphics are great, the soundtrack is pretty good also. Instead we get a "character chapter" I think its called, and these are way too short, and are a waste of time. Instead you get 5 levels of fights! Five levels?! It used to be almost double that, and there is no story at the end. This was my personal favourite thing about Tekken, being able to play different characters through the arcade mode, and get a little story at the end. The story between Kazuya and Heihachi has been around since the beginning, and they did not close that story well at all! What went on here? 2. Not only is it not a compelling story, but it leaves so many points unsolved. Remember the story in Tekken 6? Now that was pretty good. You spend most of the story watching cutscenes, or listening to some guy's voiceover, but when you do actually get down to the gameplay, it's just a wave level with a boss at the end, its bad and boring. It is way too short, and there is barely any content to keep you coming back. I held off playing the game for awhile after I heard everyone I know slam the game, but I eventually picked it up, and played it.

I've been a Tekken fan since the first game came out all those years ago, and I've loved each one of them until this rubbish.
