Summary

After the death of Heihachi Mishima, the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament began. Tekken 5 lets you join this battle as one of many characters, including three fighters who are new to the Tekken series. This time, the environments feature destructible objects and dangerous obstacles. Customize your character with a variety of accessories, such as beanies, glasses, and costumes. Beat the game with each character to learn his or her story.

One the best video games for it's time, in terms of everything.
Also a perfect tekken game except for very little tiny things that could make it flawless or more epic and addictive like TTT2.

Pros:
- Lots of competitive and technical depth.
- Movement feels really good.
- The camera is pulled back a little bit which I like.
- While combos are a little shorter than I'd prefer, there is solid variety and decision making in the combos you choose.
- Nearly perfect cast size.
- Nina's best character design she's ever had.
- Introduced Feng Wei and Raven.
- Brought Bruce back!


Cons:
- Very poorly balanced. Characters like Steve are significantly too strong while other characters like Jin are too weak.
- Picking the outfit you want for your character isn't very intuitive.
- A lot of the atmosphere and storytelling from Tekken 4 was lost.
- Main menu design is really boring.
- Characters are missing some tools that would become staples in later entries.
- The start of Hwoarang's poor character designs that have fortunately been fixed in Tekken 8.
- Bryan lost his jacket from Tekken 4.
- Not a fan of Jin's black and white look. I prefer jin's classic black and red or his blue and gold look from Tekken 4.
- While I'm glad Devil Jin's moveset is in the game, I've never been a fan of his overly edgy design.
- Introduced Asuka. Not only do I dislike fighting against her, but she does nothing for the story even though you'd think she would.
