Gameplay

Over 35 stages are available, including all-new stages and a remade forest stage from Tekken 3. All of the existing stages from Tekken 5 have been set in different times of day, with differing setpieces (Heihachi's Honmaru compound, for instance, is not burning anymore, and the Secret Garden stage is now strewn with jack-o-lanterns.). The prior versions of these stages are still available, but they must be unlocked. The game features 35 playable characters. There are many more customization items for the characters, and for the first time, Mokujin and Eddy Gordo can be customized, as well. All extra costumes from the PS2 edition of the game are present, and some, such as Ling Xiaoyu and Asuka Kazama's school uniforms, have been made customizable. The three animal characters, Kuma, Panda, and Roger Jr., have had their custom color regions expanded / reworked, including color options for Roger Jr. and Panda's fur. The bear characters have more expressive facial animation (mouth movement). Eddy Gordo is a standard character, separate from Christie Monteiro, with his own character select space and customization items. Armor King returns to the Character Roster with many of his own moves rather than sharing many of King and King II's moves. All characters have acquired some new moves. Jinpachi Mishima has an altered appearance, with a skin texture like veins of fire or flowing magma, and a glowing white horn protrudes from his forehead. The selection screen and VS loading screen sport new CG renders of all the characters, most featuring new default color schemes.

Story

There are two brand new characters in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Sergei Dragunov and Lili, as well as the returning character Armor King. According to Tekken Zaibatsu, "Dragunov is described as a human weapon... with origins tracing back to the frozen tundra" and "Lili is a rich girl from Monaco." Dragunov fights with Sambo and Lili uses her skills in dance to fight in her own "tricky" style.
