But this is Tekken 6 after all, the political allegories don't stop there.

Okay I lie, they do stop there and even that was a stretch in the first place. We can't be that precious about the old kangaroo. Sure its our national animal, but we also feed it to our dogs and pay drunk men in utes to shoot them by the hundreds.

Any way some Tekken 6 screens have appeared on the scene and I don't want to be a negative nancy (or nelly, I'm easy baby) but they look a little not so hot.

Maybe it's me but some of them, such as the opening roo bash, look more than a touch rough. That's one word that should not be used to describe this game, I've played it in my local arcade and it looks and moves silky smooth. The game is fluid, it even looks like a graphical step up from last years ridiculously pretty Soul Calibur IV.

Maybe the static nature of the screenshots is drawing something away from them, maybe Tekken should be really just seen moving to be appreciated. Or maybe Namco just really doesn't care, they know full well that this is Tekken 6, it will sell like robot monkeys when it releases no matter what I say or what the screenies look like.

Still, I'm not too impressed by these shots. You're looking at the same shots, am I wrong? Pop over to our forums and voice your opinion.

And before I forget, what the hell is the sudden propensity for obese characters in fighting games, Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6. Was their some fighting movie featuring Van Damme in a fat suit I missed that inspired the developers?
