Tekken Tag Tournament
built 635 days ago
Tekken Tag Tournament is a fighting game at it's core. If you've ever played a Tekken game in the past you will know exactly what the gameplay is like. It's fast, requires some pretty quick thinking and to learn all the moves will take a hell of a long time. Returning to the game are all your favorite Tekken characters including Paul Phoenix, Forest Law, King and Yoshimitsu who are among the 20 initially selectable characters. As you complete the game more fighters become unlocked including new fighters not seen in previous games. The biggest change to the game ... is the inclusion of a 2 on 2 battle mode.

Tekken Tag Tournament is a 'Dream Match' Iron Fist Tournament, and it does not have a plot fitting within the Tekken story timeline. The game is an enhanced version of Tekken 3 including a new Tag feature - where the player selects two fighters and can change between characters during gameplay, and perform tag-team combos. The first side to have a character to be knocked out is the loser. The character list includes almost (if not all) characters from all 3 previous games.

While Tekken Tag Tournament may sport the largest character roster in the series’ history, few things have been changed since the previous games. Unlike countless other fighters, this game places a strong emphasis on learning specific button commands, timing them to perform a myriad of punches, kicks, and combos. At first glance, the gameplay seems horribly slow; many of the characters’ basic attacks only offer a light punch or a kick. This a far cry from the intensely fast gameplay from Dead or Alive, Street Fighter, and even Virtua Fighter. What first-time Tekken players may not realize is that the seemingly slow-paced moves are implemented to allow enough time to choose and input the button commands for your next attack. A small punch can lead into a harder punch, then a kick, a throw, an uppercut, and countless other potential combinations.

Tekken Tag Tournament boasts tried-but-true gameplay and a speedy pace that hides an engine with fascinating depth and nuance. It is that speed that attracts people to Tekken in the first place, and newer players can enjoy the button-mashing fury and feel as if they've actually done something (relatively) useful. Many people mistake this as the heart of Tekken -- watching players mash-mash-mashing to victory. Not to burst their collective bubble, but the game's true beauty can only be uncovered by two things: finesse and practice. The number of moves doled out to each character is impressive, but it's all in how you use them; and there are a tremendous variety of ways to dispatch an opponent. The mashers can have their fun, but its nearly impossible for anyone to best a so-called "master" thanks to the incredible understanding and skill that is required to get to that playing level.

Keeping in line with Nobuyoshi Sano's and Keiichi Okabe's Tekken 3 soundtrack, which was heavier but less melodic, Tekken Tag Tournament smashes through your speakers with gorgeous heavy beats accompanied by hypnotic electronic melodies. This time around Sano and Okabe are joined by Yu Miyake, Rio Hamamoto and Akitaka Toyama.

If you're familiar with fighters, you'll find that Tekken Tag Tournament is not all that difficult in one player modes. The challenge comes in taking on friends (and rivals). And, of course, the difficulty then depends on how good your opponent is. There are enough good moves here for your average 'button mashers,' but there are some more impressive combinations to be pulled off by a pro.
