I don't own this bundle, but I have all three games that are included. I will describe this game one by one.

Tekken Tag Tounament- This game is a lot like the 3 before it. At the select screen, you choose two fighters (I usually went with Hwoarang and Yoshimitsu) and at any time in the fight you can tag your character to fight. First one down determines the fight. You have an option to play the classic style of fighting.

Tekken 4- This game is my favorite in the series (haven't played Tekken 6 yet). This introduced boundaries to stages so you can corner your enemy and beat them down. What makes this one different from the others is that you can move (not attack) before the fight is announced. You will have a lot of fun with this one.

Soul Calibur 2- This is by far the best game in the bundle. This is like Tekken but you have different weapons to play with. Yoshimitsu is also in the series. In this game they had characters specific to which version you buy, the PS2 version had Heihachi (from Tekken again), the Gamecube version had Link (Legend of Zelda), and I forgot which one was on the Xbox version. As you progress through the game, you unlock different weapons to fight with. They are the same kind of weapon the character is used to, but they have different abilities. One will have less attack and gain back lost health while another one inflicts more damage while your health slowly drains away.

I would recommend getting this if you have never played any of these games, or if you traded them in and want to play them again.

GREAT FOR THE PRICE, GREAT FOR THE ACTION, GREAT FOR THE SURE FIGHTER TOURNAMENTS AND I HOPE YOU GUYS PACK YOUR MACRO ARCADE FIGHTER STICKS ,CAUSE THE MOVES CAN BE A TAD TRICKY. I PERSONALLY LIKE ANY STICK THAT HAS MACRO, CAUSE TURBO IS USUALLY A GIVEN. ALTHOUGH IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A GOOD BUY, AND YOUR INTO NAMCO GAMES, I CAN'T STEER YOU WRONG. GO FOR IT!!!!

After getting this collection, I feel like I paid a bit too much. Each game comes in a flimsy case (moreso than the normal PS2 games). The nice thing is that the Tekken Tag comes on DVD, so it's less prone to scratches than the old CD version of the game, and it loads a bit faster (I later bought a used copy of it at Gamestop to compare). The problem with this collection is that each game can be bought individually at a MUCH CHEAPER cost. Tekken 4 isn't honestly worth playing in comparison to 5 and 6, both of which are available for under $20. Soul Calibur 2 is an awesome game that is definitely worth it, and Tekken Tag 2 is on the horizon soon. Now, if you don't own a PS3/Xbox360, then this is a good collection to have, but I feel like for the price, Tekken 5 should have been included instead of Tekken 4.
