While Tekken Tag Tournament 2 seems like a slightly conservative pseudo 3D fighter, it’s more willing to play with the formula than any Tekken since the over-reaching Tekken 4. This doesn’t have the depth of Marvel vs Capcom’s team attacks, where different combinations of characters created completely different attacks, but it adds to the flexibility and spectacle of the fighting. The game also introduces a handful of switching moves, where you can tag mid-attack and bring in your second character to finish the job. Part of the strategy of the game is knowing when to switch and when to hold off for a few precious seconds longer. Unlike Marvel vs Capcom, one KO is enough to put you one round down in a best-of-three or best-of-five, so you can’t use characters as lives. Different combinations can be used to provide balance or guard against a particular threat, as well as giving you a reprieve when you’re about to be KO’ed. What Tekken Tag Tournament brought to the party, and what this sequel revamps, is a tag team system, where you can pick two characters before each match and switch between them at almost any time. Against tougher opponents – particularly human ones – there’s a level of skill involved in simply staying standing long enough to rain your own blows down. Tekken is kinder to button mashers than, say, Virtual Fighter 5, but only to a point. Using the D-Pad or analogue stick you can target blows to high, middle or low areas, block mid and low attacks, duck or jump.īeyond this, each character has a lengthy list of combos, which can be strung together into arguably the most brutal attack chains of any fighting game. Two face buttons unleash fist-based attacks, another two unleash kicks, and a combination can be used to grab and throw your opponent. However you play, the action is classic Tekken.

The various modes are split into two main offline and online menus. It’s so polished and so packed with features that our biggest bone of contention – the lack of a coherent single-player story mode – pales into insignificance. It’s also an incredibly generous package, with a whopping 50-strong roster of fighters, more stages than we’ve been able to count, an extensive range of different online and offline modes and all the collectibles and customisation features you’d expect from a modern fighting game. While it’s not as magnificent a comeback as Streetfighter IV, it’s an excellent reminder of everything that made Tekken so fantastic in the first place.

Well, with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 the good old days are back again. It’s not so much that Tekken went bad, but more that the world has moved on. For those of us with fond memories of post-pub Tekken 3 matches going on into the early hours, or evenings spent with Marshall Law and Nina Williams in Tekken 2, this situation has been all the more depressing.

Even the PS2 years weren’t that brilliant, with the decent Tekken 5 making up for a disappointing Tekken 4 and a slightly lacklustre Tekken Tag Tournament. While Capcom’s fighting games have triumphed in this console generation, with Streetfighter IV and Marvel vs Capcom 3 winning favour with fans, Tekken’s only recent outings have been the underwhelming Tekken 6, the Capcom made Streetfighter X Tekken and an okay but dated HD port of Tekken 5.
