Pokken Tournament Reviews
Pokken Tournament is fun for a bit, but I'm not convinced that it has any staying power as a fighting game. It's further hurt by its thin single-player mode and limited roster, which hurts its potential with casual fans. As attractive and faithful to the license as it is, it has plenty of room for improvement. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel.
This really is a true fighting game; don't let the Pokémon veneer tell you otherwise. This is a game which takes patience and concentration to learn to play effectively, and it successfully manages to blend together elements from other fighters such as Street Fighter, Marvel, and Tekken, and combine them with new ideas to create something truly unique.
Whether or not it will be a fighting game that will dominate the competitive scene for the next few years is impossible to say. But, whether you are a genre enthusiast, a Pokémon fan or just a gamer in general, Pokkén Tournament is an incredibly fun game with solid mechanics that can certainly hold their own.
Pokkén Tournament verschenkt leider zu viel Potenzial in der Hauptkampagne und bietet leider auch zu wenig neues im Gameplay Bereich. Pokémon Fans werden bis auf die etwas fragwürdige Charakter-Wahl voll auf ihre Kosten kommen. Fans von Beat ‚em ups können den Titel aber eher auslassen in der aktuellen Form.
