[Downloadable Game] The beauty of TEKKEN is re-created at 1080p and optimized for the HD era, delivering one of the most realistic graphics on the PS3 platform. Play as one of over 30 characters, including classics Jin, Heihachi, Paul, Law and more. New to Dark Resurrection, play as Jinpachi and take the final boss against all the other characters. Use your fight money to customize your characters. With more than double the items seen in TEKKEN 5, the sky's the limit on the unique look your character will have. [Namco Bandai Games]

Dark Resurrection doesn't have all of the extra features you might expect from a console release of a Tekken game, but this is offset by the pretty fair price and the fact that you can finally play the game on any size TV screen you have and with an arcade stick (like, say, the Hori Fighting Stick 3), to boot.

A superb, great-value alternative to "Virtua Figher 5" that bodes well for PS3's Network. [May 2007, p.74]

The depth and variety on offer in this deluxe editon of Tekken 5 is superb. [May 2007, p.76]

For the same price as a PS2 "Greatest Hit," gamers can get their hands on one of the best fighting games of recent memory and enjoy all the same hand-to-hand action that last-gen owners have been raving about for two years. It's a must for diehard Tekken fans or fighting nuts that somehow missed it on PSP.

A brilliant beat-'em-up marred by its lack of modes, especially in the multiplayer department. It's also showing its age at a worrying time, with Virtua Fighter 5 on the horizon certain to claim the title. Good but no longer essential. [Issue#150, p.68]

Not exactly the perfect rendition of the series, although the chance to control Jinpachi and the two new Iron Fist competitors more than makes up for the loss of ending videos and limited multiplayer. [May 2007, p.66]

Boomtown
Each character has the classic Tekken combination of throws, punches, kicks and spinny flying kicks that never fail to impress, and since the game is simply about fighting, the characters are balanced beautifully to provide easy to pick up, hard to master gameplay that feels far in advance of the current £6.99 price tag.

An excellent 'story so far' game that delivers pretty much the whole Tekken experience thus far for an astonishingly inconsequential seven quid. More than that though, it's a hard-hitting fly-kick to the face of the software industry - a standard bearer that redefines the value and content level of downloadable games.

Playstation Official Magazine UK
In terms of gameplay, think of Dark Resurrection as "Tekken 5.5" - the basic combo-based fighting is pretty much identical in execution. [May 2007, p.102]

What you're basically getting for your 20 bucks (you read that right) is a skeletal single-player or 1-on-1 versus game. It is cool that we're finally able to get our hands on what was once an arcade/handheld only, but it's pretty much just that. What's offered is nice enough, but it's not much of a stretch to think that Namco could have included a little bit more.
