The PS3 version of Dark Resurrection is a more stripped down game, meaning it lacks the bells and whistles of some of Namco's other Tekken releases. There's no Tekken Bowling minigame, for instance. But it does have the standard modes you'd expect, like arcade and versus (though no online versus, sadly, and no training mode, either), as well as a Ghost Battle mode, where you can fight against simulations of real fighters like in Virtua Fighter 4 and 5.
