This week I decided to play Tekken 4 with a few of my friends on my Playstation 2. Tekken is an action/ fighting game whose core mechanic is fighting. The objective of the game is simply to defeat the opponent. The primary player interaction patters in the game are single player vs. game (in story mode) and player vs. player (in multi-player). In order to win a fighting match, the player must win a majority of the fights. (either 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5). There are over 30 characters in the game, each with unique skill sets, fighting styles, and attacks from fighting disciplines such as Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Martial Arts, Jujitsu, and Capoeria. Although every character has the same basic attacks (kicking and punching), it is difficult to master each character's unique combos and moves. This fact is what keeps the game interesting and playable repeatedly. Furthermore, some of the maps or fighting arenas in the game are tailored to help certain characters, sometimes giving players a "home field advantage". The main resources to manage in the game are time and health. In each fight, there is a time limit of 100 secs to defeat the opponent. After this time, each player's health is compared and a winner is determined based on which player has more health. Therefore, players must make sure they inflict as must damage as possible in a timely manner. Time must also be managed when deciding which moves and combos to use. Players have to decide between performing combos that take more time, but inflict more damage or combos that take less time, but inflict less damage. However, health is definetly the most important resource in the game. Players must manage their health effectively by blocking and evading enemy attacks since there are no ways to replenish one's health.
