Tekken hits the iPhone.. As a bowling game

Tekken fans rejoice! The long wait is over, you can now play Tekken on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, and it’s totally free! However, it’s not all good news. Tekken for iOS hits the iTunes appstore as a bowling game, and there are only three characters; Jin Kazama, Xiayou, and Panda, each with strength and control.

Tekken Bowling have three modes Single player, 2 player, and puzzle mode. There’s no bluetooth nor wi-fi multi-player support, so two player mode is only

pass and play. Single and two player games are great, but I find the puzzle mode more challenging as you get to hit the pins while figuring out the best way to hit them given several obstacles.

Playing the game is simple, first you need to choose among the three characters. It’s a good idea to start with Jin Kazama for he’s the one to have balanced strength, and control. Tapping the screen will reveal the direction slider at the bottom, like other sports game, you need timing to stop the slider. After this you get use your timing to choose the strength, by tapping the red slighter at the right side of the screen.

Graphics is great! It’s like a preview of what will the real Tekken fighting game will look like. Guess we have to wait longer for Tekken 3, and enjoy Street Fighter 4 or Mortal Kombat for now.
