Tekken Tag Tournament 2 brings several new fighters into the ring. The new Fight Lab mode is describe below, but it’s basically a cover for a story mode combined with a training mode. I’ve found that it’s mostly the quicker/responsive fighters that last longer in survival mode – if you can get away or interrupt a combo attack before you get hit too many times, you can last a lot longer in survival mode. The more I play, the more I figure out which characters can dish out damage without taking as much. I hadn’t thought that it would add that much to the game, but it really does.Īll the original game modes are included: Arcade, Versus, Survival, Time Attack, and Team Battle. 2 vs 1 works as a fight mechanic for both the really good players and the really bad players. The other cool thing is that if you’re playing against someone that is WAY better than you, you now have a way to have a match with the possibility of you winning. The lack of Tag Assault on my side, combined with their ability to use it, made it a very nice challenge. I used Law against a variety of teams and did pretty good. As simple as it sounds, this simple feature can make for some very interesting matches. One of the new interesting bits in Tekken fight mechanics is the ability to do 2 vs. I tend not to use them directly (I like the old method of just playing until it becomes second nature), but to each his own. If you’re one of those people that likes to look up frame-by-frame shots of the fight animations, you’re probably in luck – I’m sure there will be a lot of them in the online Tekken forums. They’ve really got it nailed down in this version. The other thing that hasn’t changed is the timing and reactions for the characters and animations. There’s new moves and a few more fancy techniques (especially tag-out combos) to master, and once you find the ones you like, they’re easy to memorize. If you never liked it, you won’t like it again. So, if you like the Tekken interface, this game will be great. And, because this is a TAG tournament, it’s got the same character switch as the original TTT. To me, that a good thing – cool and powerful moves shouldn’t be too easy (*ahem* never mind Yoshimitsu’s straight stabbing attack that I tend to overuse *wink*).
And, it’s still a little tricky to do some of the really fancy moves. It’s always been intuitive and easy to get the timing right for whatever move you’re trying to do. I find it more natural than pretty much any other fighting game – DOA, VirtuaFighter, etc. I’ve always loved the interface for the Tekken series. Yes, some critics will say it’s more of the same, with a few flashy add-ons and new characters – which it is… but OH MAN! It is FUN!īefore I start describing the new characters and features, allow me to quickly describe the classic interface. I’ll even admit that my wife will see me playing TTT and ask, “Doesn’t this game get boring? It’s the same thing, over and over!” My response is always the same: “It’s fun! I’m beating people up!” Well this newest addition to the Tekken franchise is even more fun.

Seriously, I still play the original Tekken Tag Tournament on the PS2 in my office. I’ve been awaiting the release of this game for years.
