TEKKEN TAG 2 PS4 SERIES

Capcom 3's irredeemable touch-of-death juggling, but it's as close as you want to get before becoming convinced to give up the game entirely. Combos can be kept going off the ground, off the walls, and off the edge of the screen. In that game, and now this one, it's possible to shave off immense amounts of life bar simply by sweeping an opponent off of his or her feet just once.

TTT2 builds very much on Tekken 6, which in turn had built on previous incarnations of the series while adding some polarizing elements, mostly related to how juggling properties work. However, Tekken as a series has run for a very long time, and rarely does Namco jettison things from the fighting system unless it's met with universal disdain from the audience (see: the entirety of Tekken 4). On paper, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is an excellent game that covers all the bases. Unfortunately, this is also where we hit the game's potentially biggest snag. It's a simple yet deep combat system that's worked well for the series, and over the years, feature after feature has been added for versatility. If you're unfamiliar with how the fighting works, in its most boiled-down state, it involves two fighters striking each other using a set of four buttons mapped to each fighter's limbs. Fortunately, the fighting is everything you've come to expect from a Tekken game. However, in the end, it all comes down to how it plays, and how well the fighting holds up in today's post-fighting-game-comeback landscape. The deficiencies extend to the graphics, which look easily worthy of the hardware in normal camera view but will shift to either pixelated background elements or pixelated fighters when the cinematic camera comes into play during special moves - and in this game, that happens a lot. Load times abound, from pre-match proceedings to the Customization shop being a total slog, and Team matches and replays are constantly interrupted. Also, for a game that requires a mandatory hard drive installation (7.5 GB worth!), it's a shame to see it not put to better use. It's a fundamentally anticonsumer practice that will always cause a game to lose points with me if it's included. For one thing, online play is locked behind an online pass, forcing all people who wish to try the online functionality to buy a new copy they can't even borrow a disc from a friend. There are a few flaws with the presentation and overall package.

For PS3 users, this means no envy over the Xbox 360's custom soundtracks feature. Customization further extends to a soundtrack that is already great, but it can be further enhanced with your MP3 files for every event in the game via the Tekken Tunes mode. It's not as deep as Soul Calibur V, where you could move and manipulate a seemingly endless number of parts to your liking and create whoever you wanted, but it's quite serviceable and versatile. Outfits, hair pieces and even special effects are there for application to your favorite characters. Taking a cue from the Soul Calibur series and big brother Tekken 6, fighter appearances can be customized via a special dedicated mode. Also in the mix is the ability to play the game co-op with Pair Play and to fight experienced player AI in Ghost Battle both of these are useful for enhancing player skills.

The attractions found in the offline modes menu include the ability to play the original arcade version of the game, as well as the old mainstays of Survival mode, Team Battle, Time Attack and a fairly in-depth Training mode, which allows players to set up any fighting situation to practice.

In addition, characters can fight in one-on-one, two-on-two or even two-on-one matches over a plethora of modes that take into account today's fighting game culture and feature sets.

Just like the first game, TTT2 enhances the formula set about by recent Tekken games by speeding up the action, building on what came before, and including a roster of nearly all characters from Tekken's storied history, including some not present in the arcade version of the game. Tekken Tag Tournament went on to become one of the most beloved entries in the Tekken series, and a decade later, we finally have Tekken Tag Tournament 2, whichlives up to the reputation of its predecessor - with a few minor caveats. Around the turn of the century, Namco took Tekken 3, one of its most popular games, and updated it with tag-team play in a 'dream match' setting that included all of the characters in the series to date.
