Now as far as the fighting music is concerned, there is your standard collection of fast paced techno music which is absolutely wonderful to fight to. The minor voice acting for the cast of fighters is standard in quality and they all sound the same as fans will remember, though Violet’s voice actor really helps sell his eccentric character. Considering how many characters are packed into this release and the amount of customization which will be discussed shortly, the design of each fighter is rather impressive. To top that off, a number of them feature a few breakaway areas where the fight will continue in a separate area from where it began.Īs far as the characters go, Namco Bandai’s team has outdone themselves this time by increasing the level of detail on most of the complicated characters. Most stages that the player chooses to fight on are varied well enough (some being quite outlandish) and are visually pleasing. If you thought that Tekken 6 was visually impressive than you will be quite surprised to learn that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 does a rather nice job improving on what was already seen as outstanding visuals. Ultimately this means that there aren’t large overarching storylines here, but what is provided is rather hilarious and enjoyable for what it is. As players make their way through various chapters in the Fight Lab there are a few little snippets of a story here, though it mostly revolves around the oddball Violet harassing his secretary. This Fight Lab sees players taking control of a personal Combot who is being created and trained by the eccentric Violet. Plus, Tag Tournament 2 features a new mode titled Fight Lab, which will be discussed momentarily as far as gameplay goes. Well… that has been partially retained in Tekken Tag Tournament 2, but rather than having barely any storyline, every character in the massive roster actually has an ending cutscene in the arcade mode, usually involving something completely nonsensical or comedic.
TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 REVIEWS SERIES
With a rather large shadow to overcome, does Tekken Tag Tournament 2 surpass its predecessor?įans of the first Tekken Tag Tournament may recall that the game was absolutely devoid of a story mode, with even the most simple arcade fights being nothing but a series of unstructured fights. Now, more than a decade after the release of the first game, Namco Bandai has released Tekken Tag Tournament 2. That title is Tekken Tag Tournament, a game which most fans of the series will still claim is their favorite title in the franchise. There have been many Tekken games released ever since the series first debuted back in the mid ‘90s, however all these games, including multiple ones released after it, are overshadowed by a certain title released in 1999.
