Product Description

Forget the fancy full-motion video intros of the past. The cutting-edge gameplay that is promised in the extended intros of fighting games is finally realized in Tekken Tag Tournament. This visually stunning action game contains fully rendered 3-D characters that can execute smoothly animated martial arts moves. With polygonal characters and texture maps this real, you'll end up looking for the coin slot on your PS2.

With more than 30 characters to fight against or beside, this game allows you to pull off the ultimate human combo: tag-team fighting. By choosing two fighters with broadly divergent skills, you can greatly increase your threat to the other fighters. Also, switching out fighters can give an overextended partner enough time to rest up his or her stamina for the next tag. See what happens when one partner throws a foe, tags, and the other partner comes in keep the foe... uh... airborne. Tekken Tag Tournament contains 20 classic characters from other parts of the acclaimed Tekken series, as well as 12 new characters that can be unlocked during game play.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game with improvements on the Japanese version, October 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Tekken Tag Tournament (Video Game)

Tekken Tag Tournament has both pros and cons, but it is the best fighting game out now.

Graphics 4.999999 out of 5

Pro- Great Graphics, with the background being some of the best that I have seen. The jaggies that plagued the Japanese version has all been anti-aliased and the characters look as smooth as hell.

Con- The characters look good, but they also look like plastic G.I.JOES and loses the good anime-ish quality of the arcade characters.

Gameplay 5 out of 5

Pro- massive number of characters with unique styles for everyone. Tag juggles have almost infinite possibilities. Very deep system of play with different stamina for characters, reversals, the ability to reverse reversals, parries, universal low parries, and sidesteps that can actually avoid moves offer a lot of fun and practice. Very few characters that a beginner can mash and win against an intermediate player.

Con- Basically, it has the same engine as tekken 3, except for the tag. Some Tekken2 characters lost out in the transition from T2 to TTT. aka Jun and Wang

Music 4.3 out of 5

Pro and con- the music fits with the stages, but nothing memorable or horrible. Namco should have kept the arcade tracks or made it so that you can select them as an option.

Sound 4.8 out of 5

Pro and Con- Sounds are all great, and fits with everything.

Features 4.9 out of 5

Pros- has practice mode, 1 on 1 arcade, 2 vs 2, bowling mode, Survival mode, time attack, and team battle.

New features for US TTT include 1 on 1 vs mode, fixed damage counter in practice mode, and a very easy to use moves recording mode. Endings look very good.

Cons-Endings at a bit short and throws the tekken storyline out of wack(even though Namco said TTT had no storyline).

Overall 5 out of 5

Get this game if you like fighters and isn't sick of Tekken 3. It is simply the best out there right now. DOA2 and Soul Caliber are good, but TTT is the GOD of fighting games.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tekken 1, 2 and 3 put together with a 2000 paint-job., June 27, 2000

This review is from: Tekken Tag Tournament (Video Game)

I believe that Tekken has always been one of the best fighting series on any platform and that Namco (the publisher & developer) makes some of the best games around including Ridge Racer, Soul Caliber and Time Crisis series. Tekken Tag Tournament (TTT) is the combination of all 3 Tekken games with a nice look.

The game starts out with a very nice CG (computer generated) intro. Namco has some of the world's best CG animators and you can see that in a lot of Namco's games like R4. Just like you were first blown away by the powerful Tekken 3 intro, you'll get the same effect by this one.

The gameplay remains the same as in Tekken 3, except for some new moves. The main feature in TTT is that there is now a 'tag' option. You pick your two characters and then you tag in and out while fighting your other 2 opponents. It's really nice because you can perform double-combos with the two characters together. In total, there are over 30 characters to choose from. They are all gathered from the series' 3 games. Each has their own, unique 3 to 2 types of clothing, and LOTS of moves and combos to be creative with. The graphics are what you'd expect from PlayStation2. But this is only the beginning. I'm sure Tekken 4 will be much better. The backgrounds are very nice with moving people and objects like flangs and plants. There is even an area where you fight on grass and you can step on it and see the effect of how it's smashed.

Overall, Tekken Tag Tournamet is only a sort of a 'preview' of what we can expect from PlayStation2 and Namco in the years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars TTT is a very good fighting game, December 26, 2000

This review is from: Tekken Tag Tournament (Video Game)

Many have said that this game falls short because one could press random buttons and win. I have found that this doesn't really apply. I have played this game extensively, including in games against novice players. A player who blocks, uses the special moves and combos efficiently, and has a fighting strategy will almost always win. I find that this game is fairly challenging, and is actually difficult on very hard. This game has awesome graphics combined with all of your favorite characters from the Tekken series and very cool special moves and combos. Although you can get lucky and hit some special moves by just pressing buttons, many of the moves are difficult to perform and do a lot more damage than the previously mentioned moves. An experienced player can string together moves and beat any novice pressing buttons, contrary to what some people say. Tekken Tag Tournament is a great game, and all fighting game fans with a PS2 should own and love this game.
