Relieve the best events of episode 4 to 6.

Using the tow cable of AT-AT

The missions are too fickle and you will fail almost everytime

Tekken 4

They tried something different and it is a mixed bag.

Game no: 288
Genre: Fighting
Platform: PS2

Image result for tekken 4 start screen

What is it about?
The king of iron first tournament returns. It was Namco first attempt at the PS2 hardware

List of characters
Image result for tekken 4 characters list

New characters 
Steve Fox : Boxer without any kicking moves
Craig Marduk : A big MMA fighter
Christie Montenerio: Eddy Gordo reskin
Combot: Mokujin reskin

What's new
Dynamic stages with destructible environments
Jin Kazama has a new move set which will become his staple move sets.
A better Tekken Force mode with 360 camera angles
Characters can switch their position to avoid being pin down.

Overall: It's an ok Tekken game but due to the fact of the dynamic environments and move lists. The game seems a bit slower than previous installments. There is also no final boss to fight so, the tension is not there.

Status: Finish the game will all characters

Fun Factor: Get the PS2 version so you can play two person. Games like these are fun playing with a friend
