TEKKEN

Tekken is a fighting game and is the first of the series. It was released at arcades in late 1994 and on the PlayStation in 1995. A simplified "arcade" version of the game was later released in Tekken 5's Arcade History mode. It was developed and published by Namco. It is succeeded by Tekken2, which came in 1995.

INTERACTIVITY

Tekken is one of the earliest 3D fighting game franchises, with the first game applying many of the concepts found in Virtual Fighter by Sega.

As with many fighting games, players choose a character from a lineup, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with an opponent.

Tekken differs from other hand-to-hand fighting games in some ways. Traditional fighting games are usually played with buttons which correspond to the strength of the attack, such as strong punch or weak kick. Tekken, however, dedicates a button to each limb of the fighter, making learning special attacks more of an intuitive process. The player could watch the animation on screen and figure out the appropriate command (if the character kicks low with their right leg, the move is likely to be executed by pressing down and right kick, or a similar variation).

Heihachi Mishima is one of the undefeated fighter champions. At the beginning, he knocks out his 5-year old son, Kazuya Mishima, off the cliff, to see if he is really his son, he will climb up the cliff. Kazuya survives the initial fall, but with a large scar on his chest and back, he is dying. A mysterious malevolent entity known only as a Devil appeared before him in his grave predicament, offering Kazuya the opportunity to regain strength and power so that he can have his revenge on Heihachi, but only if Kazuya himself was willing to give up his own soul towards the entity. Kazuya, driven by anger and with life-threatening wounds, accepts the deal.

21 years later, Heihachi is now the owner of the ruthless Mishima Zaibatsu corporation. Kazuya, still driven by hatred, is the undefeated fighter champion. He finally gets his abillity to avenge himself when Heihachi announces the King of the Iron Fist Tournament. Kazuya enters the tournament and ultimately makes it to the final round of the Iron Fist tournament, where Heihachi awaits him.

Kazuya and Heihachi clash in battle atop the same cliff from which Heihachi tossed Kazuya years earlier until Kazuya, now powered by the strength given to him by the Devil, overpowers Heihachi and beats him into unconsciousness. Kazuya picks up his father's body and drops him from the cliff. Smiling to himself, Kazuya becomes the owner of the Mishima Zaibatsu.

This is the games story mode other than that the players can play single matches with a variety of options as the game offers a good amount of settings. The game also has multi player modes which make its much more interesting.
