We can’t really pick a winner when comparing a console game to a handheld, but we can delve into the changes to both. It’s time to take the other guy’s (or girl’s) eye out with these rough-and-tumble brawlers from Namco Bandai. Fight! Fight! Fight!
New Characters
Tekken 6: At least eight new fighters, ranging from robots and cyborgs to fat Americans and Spanish matadors.
SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny: Two new characters join the roster of 20-plus fighters, including God of War’s Kratos and the dapper Don Pierre, who fights with two nasty daggers.
Moves
Tekken 6: If you succeed in delivering certain combos, your opponent will bounce back up in a way that lets you continue to destroy him. In our test drive, button mashing worked surprisingly well, which worked out well for us.
SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny: Moves that have been retained for this portable game include soul crush, critical finish, and equipment destruction.
Stages
Tekken 6: Stages for the console version have been carried over from the arcade title Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion and can be destroyed to reveal new fighting arenas.
SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny: Lighting effects have been improved so the arenas appear to be going from day to night.
Headbusting
Tekken 6: New character Alisa Boskonovitch is easy on the eyes, although she’s got a cold cyborg heart and a bomb for a head.
SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny: Such lovelies as the superbusty Ivy, feisty Amy, petite Talim, and Sophitia (in a barely there Grecian getup) return.
