TEKKEN 5 brings back the popular cast of characters from the previous TEKKEN
games along with three new characters for a total of 20 default characters to
start, and more to unlock as you progress in the game.  The game allows players
to use their fight money to customize their character with various accessories
such as hats, glasses and an assortment of different costumes.  Each of the new
characters is equipped with a variety of deadly techniques, and the returning
characters have been updated with new moves and combos for bone-crushing, beat
‘em up good times.  New to TEKKEN 5 is a bonus action adventure game that
unfolds a side story to the action-packed fighting sequences.

After the completion of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, a fierce battle
between father and son unfolded at Mishima Zaibatsu headquarters.  Jin emerges
as the victor in this battle and continues to defeat Heihachi, his grandfather –
but spares both Kazuya and Heihachi’s lives in honor of his mother who loved
peace.  Soon after Jin’s departure, a swarm of Jacks arrive at Honmaru and begin
to attack Heihachi and Kazuya – and in order to escape, Kazuya thrusts Heihachi
into the swarm of Jacks.  A great explosion destroys Honmaru, and a man watching
from afar reports, “Heihachi Mishima is dead.”  While many presume the death of
Heihachi Mishima will end the reign of Mishima Zaibatsu, an announcement is made
for the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament, with an unknown replacement to
Heihachi leading the organization. The fight begins once again.
