However, there's a surprisingly deep system underneath the simple interface. With two punches, two kicks and then basic movement, almost anyone can pick up a controller and start mashing away to execute some basic attacks.
Fortunately, Tekken 6 has some great gameplay to sink your teeth into. That being said, Character customization doesn't mean anything if the gameplay isn't rewarding. Being able to constantly earn money for unlocking costumes is a great way to reward players that keep coming back for more. Or perhaps you'll pay millions for a ponytail haircut for Lili (I'm guilty of that one). For example, earn enough cash and you can buy a new jacket for your favorite fighter. The primary use of money is to purchase extra customization items for every character on the roster. You'll be earning some sweet coin for almost everything you do in Tekken 6. This mode is made even more palatable thanks to the monetary reward you receive after every victory. At the end of the battle, you can use the D-pad to select your next opponent out of a list of three, or you can opt to end the Ghost Battle session. The Ghost Battles mode is actually one of my favorite elements in the single-player experience, as you are pitted against a steady stream of new AI opponents, or ghosts, that possess different ranks.

This isn't particularly problematic, though, because Campaign Scenario was one of the weakest elements to the Tekken 6 formula. The only noticeable difference between the console version of Tekken 6 and the PSP version is that the PSP version lacks the story-driven Campaign Scenario mode. If you happen to be a newcomer to the series, however, Tekken 6 combines a pick-up-and-play interface with some seriously complex strategies and all the gameplay mechanics you found on the console version are here on the PSP. As the PSP has four face buttons, this allows for the gameplay to fit snugly on the hardware, even for devoted Tekken fans. The reason Tekken 6 makes for such a great handheld port is because the gameplay only requires the use of four buttons. Tournament-level players won't have much to learn, mechanics wise, from this article besides the fact that this is a great game and it works extremely well on the PSP. Preserving the core console experience with only a few removed modes, Tekken 6 for the PSP is yet another great fighter that gamers can enjoy on the go. Now, the latest in the long-running Tekken franchise is available on the PSP. Street Fighter IV and BlazBlue hit consoles during the past several months and Tekken 6 followed suit. Fighting game fans have had quite a few things to be happy about this year.
