This is an awesome game, totally worth the purchase, it has its difference from Tekken, as you DO use weapons. Combos and style of play are different BUT, nevertheless, being a tekken freak, I personally recommended. I got it today and by the looks of its just awesome. Some friends came in the afternoon and we just finished playing, 6 hours straight. It has lots of extras like the Weapon master mode(which unlocks a ton of stuff) and of course, the 200+ weapons you can own. Bottome lines is GET IT, you won't regret it. Tekken fans will surely like it and chances are newcomers or just casuals will too!One of the things i really like are the effect of weapons, some are long range,like swords and big axes, some are short, like knives and daggers, each character is entitled to around 10 weapons, each with abilities or disabilites, some cooler than other, each weapon has a different style and background, which really adds to the game.
