Early in the life of the PSX, seems decades ago, i decided to grab myself a copy of tekken and played it till the cows came home, but i found it was one of them games with top playability and little longability.

When Tekken 1 gathered a bit of dust the release of Tekken 2 was upon me, so i thought, 'is this gonna be something speacial or am I not learning from mistakes' so i decided to run down to the nearest video days and hire it and i played it furiously for 24 hours straight and when I returned it I finally had a satisfaction from a beat em up that i finally got my moneys worth out of one.

I did this for Tekken 3 aswell and got the same sense of satisfaction. Then, the launch of the PS2 came and i nipped out to the local Dixons and by luck they had just had some in, so i snapped one up and took it home. With it was the basic perphirals and Tekken Tag Tourney. I got home, set up the PS2 and then put Tekken in and had a bash at it. After about 3 days of playing it I got quickly bored of it.

Is this just me or do all beat em ups have very little lastability? I have to admit I am not a big fan of beat em ups though, my favourites are strategy games and I like the occasional RPG (Final Fantasy). What do you people think?

Beat-em-ups don't have an in-depth story, but they sure are fun.
