One memorable chapter where this occurs is actually a replay of Kazuya’s ending sequence from one of the older games. In a couple of the chapters, you have to also take part in a kind of tag team type affair, taking control of more than one character. The story mode is split into chapters, and in each chapter, the setting is explained in a cut scene, and you then have control of usually a different character.
However, it does make more sense when you think about it, so this is actually an interesting design choice. In this one cut scene, there are three different languages being spoken, with no indication whether Heihachi speaks fluent Italian, or Nina Japanese or anything. In one memorable scene, we see Heihachi and Nina talking to Claudio, an Italian fighter. You are thrust straight into the action as Heihachi, and have to defeat waves of faceless Tekken Force personnel in an attempt to reach the top of the Mishima and a confrontation with Nina, after which he assumes control.Īn interesting diversion this time is that each character speaks in their native tongue, with subtitles if they are required. Jin Kazama is in charge of the Mishima Zaibatsu, and at the start of the story has gone missing, leaving Heihachi to attempt what I think could be called a “hostile takeover”. What follows then are some incredibly well done, but very lengthy cut scenes, explaining what is going on in the world. Being a reporter, he decides to do what he does best and investigate the Zaibatsu, in an attempt to get a measure of revenge for his losses. The named reporter who narrates the story is one of these unsung victims when he is away on a job his hometown is destroyed, and his wife and son lost.
In this new world, Mishima Zaibatsu and G-Corporation are at war, and as is usual when big corporations have a scrap, it’s the little people that suffer. Instead of picking a character and following their progress through the aforementioned tournament, this time the story is played out from behind the eyes of a reporter. Story mode was my first port of call, as you may expect, and things are a little different this time around.
