TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT

"When you think of fighting games, the name that comes at the top of most peoples list is TEKKEN. More than just a 'button basher' this series of 3D beat-em-ups has always combined cutting edge graphics with gameplay that is easy to learn, yet challenging to master. This latest installment is essentially the same as the arcade machine version - only much, much better..! "

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Peter Barker  "This Is Truly A Work Of Art, As The Sequel To Tekken 3 The Best Game On Playstation 1, It Would Have To Be Amazing To Sell. It Is. The Graphics Sharp, The Tag Mode Fantastic And Individual Moves For 30 Characters Make This Game Breath Taking. Ive Had This Over 2 Months And Unlike Most Other Games I'm Not Even Close To Boredem. And This Isn't Because I Cant Do It! I Played On Tekken 3 From The Day Ot Came Out Till The Day This One Did And I'm Sure The Same Will Apply For This One.

The Comeback Of Some Of The Tekken Classics That Wern't In Tekken 3 Are Back. Kazuya Mishima My Personnal Favourite. Each Fighter Has Different Tactics Moves And How To Do Them, From Jin Kazama And Yoshimitsu (probably Two Of The Most Complex Characters On The Game) To The Williams Sisters Who Arn't The Greatest!

I'v Been Playing Tekken All My Life, My First Game For The Ps1 Was Tekken 1 And My First For The Ps2 Was Tekken Tag. Tekken 2 Still Reamains My Favourite Tekken Except For The Graphics, However Tekken Tag Is Still Amazing!

I'v Tried Almost Every Other Fighting Game There Is To Offer And This Is Simply The Best!!"

Steven Pike (spike666)  "I Have Played On All Four Tekken Games, And I Think They Are All Great Games! Tekken Tag Is No Different, I Love It! I Haven't Noticed The Polygon-meltdown Spotted By The Other Review But I Have Noticed The How The Background Swirls Around While The Fight Area Stays The Same. You Can See Where The Background And The Fight Area Meet! The Fighting Fluid, Fast And Furious! Its Got Me Always Coming Back For More! The Training Mode Is Much Better This Time (chain And Combo Training Is A Step Forward), For What Is Becoming Nothing, But An Something That Goes In Any Fighting Game Without Any Thought, Least Namco Has Tried To Be Daring And Different! Tekken Bowl Is Great, But I Would Leave To See Beachball Mode Again And Maybe A Re-worked Force Mode! Buy It And You Will Not Be Dissappointed!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Kazuya Mishima  "I Have Been Playing The Tekken Series Since It First hit The Scene Many Years Ago On The Ps1. Ever Since Then I Have Been In Love. The Tekken Engine Is The Best Fighter Engine In The Buisness, It Incorporates Both Sides Of The Body (left Punch Right Punch Etc...)with An Array Of Special Moves For Each Character. The Game Play Is Smooth And Fluid, The Action Is Incredible. The Characters Are Very Well Engineered As Well. They All Have Thier Own Personalitys And Very Distinctive Looks. The Family Of The Mishimas Is Very Well Thought Out And Im Glad To See It Devoloping So Nicely. The Different Games Keep You Guessing Who The Real "bad Guy" Is And It Has A Great Story Line To It. I Would Strongly Recommend This Game To Anyone Who Is A Fighting Game Lover Such As My Self!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Tasha Saki  "I Think Tekkan Tag Is A Great Game. It Has Better Graphics, Sound, And One Of The Funnest Fighting Games Out There. The Charactors And Story Behind The Whole Game Is Terrific! There Are Many Different Mini-games You Can Play, And The Vidios That You Get After You Beat The Ternament With A Charactor, Is Awesome! I Have Beaten The Whole Game And Seen All The Movies, And They Are Quite Acceptional!"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Badboy 3223  "I Never Owned A Tekken Game Before, But Have Played Tekken 3. Witch Is A Great Game.
Tekken Tag Has To Offer Tons A Characters To Choose Form Better Graphics And A Hole Diffrent Type Of Gameplay. But Yes Tekken 3 I Have To Say Is Better Than Tekken Tag Because Of Tekken 3's Stories And Cg's At The End Of Every Character And Also The Fun Mini Game And Tons Of Diffrent Options. Tekken Tag Has Bowling As Its Mini Game.
Tekken Tags Ending Movies Are Preety Stupid, Because Some Of Them Talk But They Arnt Voice Activated And Some Of Them Are Just Plane Stupid. The Only Cg One Is The Unknow Characters Ending Movie. And That One Is Okay.
But There Is Tons Of Characters To Choose From.
I Am Not Shure If You Should Buy It Or Not, Mabey Just Wait Till Tekken 4 Comes Out."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
John Doe (way2shady)  "As A Ps2 Owner, It Is Important To Have A Good Cross Section Of Games, I Usually Make Sure I Have A Good Fighting Game, Driving Game And A Few Adventure Games To Keep Me Going.

Tekken Tag Tournament Is An Improvement Of The Previous Tekkens And Graphically It Has Moved Forward Significantly. The Characters Are Smoother And Have More Depth And The Moves Have Been Added To Make The Characters (i Feel) More Natural To Play.

Everyone Will Always Have Their Favourites And There Are A Few T2 Characters Back For This One.... Strange To See Gan Ryu Back As Well As All 3 Jack's But Armour King Is A Welcome Return Asa Is Kazuya.

Do Not Expect Revolutionary Game Design It Is Tekken, And It Has Its Pro's And Cons Over Its Predecessors, Personally I Am Sorry To Lose Tekken Force From T3 And Tekken Bowling Really Is No Substitute!!

The One Big Gain Here Is The Ability To Have Two Player Co-operative Matches In Tag Team Mode..... Does Not Cause The Same Frustration As Vs Mode When The Human Players Are In Different Leagues Skillwise.

Overall The Major Difference Is Graphically And With Much More Detail, The Tag Mode Adds A New Element Of Certain Characters Double Teaming And Being Able To Rest A Character During A Fight.....

A Good Title, And A Good, Solid Fighting Game To Vent Frustration And Have A Friday Night Ruck With Your Mates!! I Am Sure I Will Be Playing Ttt In A Couple Of Years!!"

Mike Hooker  "This Has To Be The Biggest Dissapointment On The Playstation 2 And How I Wish I Saved My Cash For Another Game.

I Guess Most Of Its Problems Are Down To The Fact That Tekken 3 On The Psone Was So Darn Good.

After Playing For 5 Minutes It Just Felt Like I Wasted My Money On An Exact Copy - But With Better Graphics.

The Guys At Namco Must Have Knocked This One Up During Their Lunch-hour !

If You Already Own Tekken 3, Just Dont Bother With This Cash-in."
