First off; if you like fighting games, you need one (or two) of these wireless arcade sticks. There is no noticeable lag whatsoever, and the units are large enough for any size hands. Now, on to the game: Tekken 6 has refined its' mechanics to a very high degree. The game is a blast. As I write this, my friends and I have played over 70 straight rounds in a round-robin tourney. Even my friend's wife has played and enjoyed herself. I will break my review down as follows:
Graphics: 4/5. The game looks great. It isn't the best in the graphics category, but the characters and stages are filled with detail and dynamic interaction. Some stages are even multi-tiered, similar to the DOA series.
Sound: 5/5. A good job was done with the music, and the surround effects. For a fighter, the sound is excellent, and even the voice acting is good.
Gameplay: 5/5. I was never a huge Tekken fan, because the controls felt sloppy compared to other fighters. Not so with Tekken 6. Combos can be hard to learn at first, because it plays differently than other fighters, but the controls are responsive, and make sense.
Fun: 5/5. Like I said, the game is a blast. Nearly every character in the game is opened from the get-go, meaning you don't have to grind through arcade or story to have a large roster.
If you're a fighter fan, get this set. The only complaint have is that you have to buy two copies of the game to get two sticks. |
Great Game, Horrible Stick

Well, to start off with, Tekken 6 is a great game. Tekken has always been one of my favorite fighting game series since Tekken 2 (except for Tekken 4) and this game does not fail to deliver. They have kept the gameplay essentially the same as Tekken 5, while adding a ton of interesting new characters, new moves and the Bound system, which allows you to extend your juggles beyond what you normally would have been able to in previous Tekken games. While I am no master at Tekken, I do enjoy playing and play quite often both online and offline. Unfortunately, online is one of the weaknesses of the game, which has been a weakness of Namco for some time now. If you play the game regularly offline, you will definitely notice some input lag online even on the 4 and 5 bar connections (which are the highest connections). Personally I only play 4 and 5 bar connections in ranked matches and I sometimes play 3 bar connections in non-ranked matches; but I never play 1 or 2 bar connections.
So since I love the game so much, you may be wondering why I gave this particular copy a 3 out of 5 stars...well, that's because of the fighting stick that comes with it. Quite frankly, that stick is a piece of crap. I bought this bundle when it was $99 on Amazon and thought I was getting an amazing deal, a wireless stick with the game for only $99 so essentially only $40 for the stick assuming the game was $60 at the time. Unfortunately, as I stated, the stick is a piece of crap. First off it's wireless, which is not ideal for online play where you already have input lag because there's obviously going to be some additional input lag from a wireless controller/stick. Secondly, the stick itself is very weak - I never liked the buttons very much, they felt sticky from the very beginning and then eventually one of the buttons broke on me after only having had the stick for a month or so. So all in all, the stick is definitely not worth it. I ended up buying a SFIV Tournament Edition stick off Amazon back when it was $130 and I love it, it is great.
Now I will say that the art book that comes with the bundle is quite nice if you're a big Tekken fan like me; but I'd probably still say that the bundle is not worth it. Just get the game by itself and buy a good stick, like the SFIV TE stick, if you really want to play with a stick.
Well, that's my advice - hope it helps. |
Tekken 6 Limited Edition (joystick review)

I am an avid Tekken player. I've been a fan of the series since Tekken 2. The game is great. This review is for the joystick included in the LE. I've used other joysticks in the past. I actually have the Hori Soul Calibur 4 stick. The tekken stick feels a bit lower in quality than the Soul Calibur stick I have been playing with. There isn't much weight to the stick, but I suppose different strokes for different folks, eh? The main problem I have with the stick is that it just doesn't meet my standards. There is an incredible amount of free play in the joystick. I've measured and its about 1/4 of an inch of free play moving the stick in any direction. (meaning that before you can move the stick to the left, right, up, down, etc. you must first overcome the 1/4 inch free play before it recognizes input). The buttons feel very spongy and have a bit of resistance to them. I'm used to playing with arcade sticks so it will take a bit of time to get used to this one. I bought this as a secondary stick and because I couldn't pass up buying the bundle for $74. It will work fine as a secondary stick. I would make the following analogy concerning this arcade stick. If you ever have been to a friends house and he has but two controllers... 1) standard dual shock and 2) a third party dual shock (pelican). Which would you prefer? Playing with this stick is a bit like that. There are better ones out there but it will get the job done. I will be investing in the Street Fighter Tournament stick made by mad catz though. As for input lag.... I did notice slight lag playing SF remix (downloadable on PS store). However, I did not notice any while playing Tekken 6.
For someone on the fence about buying this:
If you are looking for a wireless stick...go for it.
If you want a quality arcade stick, look elsewhere.
If this is your first arcade stick... go elsewhere.
If you have a quality stick and just want another so that your friends don't complain about you being the only one with an arcade stick...Go for it. Just make sure that you are not the one using the Tekken stick :)
For the money paid it is ok.
Final Review:
Tekken 6 - 8.5/10
Tekken 6 Wireless arcade stick 6/10
Paying $74 for both 9/10 |
Good price for a decent game & joystick...

| The game looks nice but not feeling the mechanics. The wireless fight stick will be fine for the average consumer since it works as advertised. However, if you're a hardcore gamer then this will be horrible due to big dead-zone on lever & small area to lay your palms. |

Tekken 6 is probably the best in the series so far. It has almost everything you want from a fighting game: lots of characters , lots of modes to play and the graphics in fighting game ever ( I'm so surprised that some people say that the graphics are awful or that it's not better than the legendary Soul Calibur IV ) Tekken & Soul Calibur have always been my two favorite fighting games and fortunately I liked the game a lot. The only bad about the game is the online mode which I was very disappointed from it. It's very laggy and it's hard to play a good match because of that.
so my overall score for Tekken 6 is 9.0 / 10
Now the "Limited Edition"
The fighting stick is good and also wireless which makes even better. I don't know if it's the best or not since it's my first fighting stick. also it works on the PC.
There's actually noting special in the limited edition and with the original price it's a complete robbery but I know Amazon's Legendary Price I couldn't resist buying it.
so my overall score for the limited edition is 6.5 / 10
but with Amazon's Price 10/10 because it's almost half the original price and if you're a Tekken fan you really can't let this one pass you |
Great Game and Very good joystick

As far as the game goes, it was as expected. I skipped Tekken 5, so this was a nice jump from Tekken 4. The online play although has a slight lag, it pretty good, especially if you can find players with a fast connection. It takes a while to sync, but its really nice to play against other players and learn from their fighting style.
The joystick actually started to malfunction about a month into owning it. They X button would get sticky and after a while some of the buttons would not register every now and then. I emailed HORI even though it was technically a few days past the warranty. After a few e-mails, I was told to send the joystick in (with my own shipping) and a few days later I received a new controller that seems to be working just fine. When it was working, the joystick was pretty good. Not any noticable lag unless playing online. I wish the buttons and the stick were a little bit firmer, but it gets the job done.
For 80 buck, it is an awesome deal. At 150, it seems there are better joysticks out there and you can often find the game on sale to make the total purchase about the same. |
Great game and stick, Nuff said...

First of all let me start off by saying this is a fun game to play. I love the versus fighting and the cut scene campaign mode. I love how you are able to customize your characters, and not to mention the wide variety of characters.
Honestly theres not much I can say about the game the title "Tekken" speaks for itself.
Tekken 6 is by far my favorite of all the tekken series, Online features are also great.
Now the stick...
The stick is great, responsive, stylish, but not very heavy. If your concerned about the weight of the stick then this might not be a stick for you. However if your like me and don't care for the weight of the stick then this stick is great.
I am somewhat disappointed that its not bluetooth compatible and you have to use a dongle but overall its great.
Yes its true that its not a TE stick and in no way can you compare it to one but if you don't want to blow 150 dollars on a TE stick then this is great for budgeting.
It is compatible with all games that I have tried. (MvC2, SF4, Super Street Fighter HD Remix)
And for the price of $80 dollars you can't go wrong with a game, a flashy hard cover book, and a great stick.
Hope this helped. |
Good Game but not the Joystick

Well,
I bought this bundle because comes two important things, the game and the joystick.
I have played Tekken series since Tekken 3
I played Tekken Tag
Tekken 4 was a mistake by namco
Tekken 5 pretty good(I have not played Tekken DR yet)
And the last of Tekken series by now Tekken 6
But every time that I play Tekken 6 I get tired and frustating but is not the game is the Joystick, as I said before I have played Tekken since ~1999 I have played on arcade and PAD(well the arcades versions with the time was terrible because I live in South America the paradise of nothing you know) I thought that the Joystick was decent but I can't play in Left side AKA P1 I'm Mishima player and I can't do nothing in P1 side in the P2 side I'm fine(well not at all but isn't frustating) I think there is a trick, so much much practice...
I just play for fun and now I think before to play, I'm going to give another oportunity to the Joystick although I think that the Joystick isn't not good for PRO players
I'm thinking buy this:
Playstation 3 Real Arcade Pro. 3 Fighting Stick
