Being about to outfit characters with stuff like angel wings, samurai tops, shotguns, and other off the wall accessories makes for a pretty unique look when you opt to take that character online. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 doesn?t take any one particular element all that seriously, from its humorous story bits to its ridiculous outfit options, but I sort of appreciate the break in serious drama that?s generally contained in the main storyline for the numbered games. There are also some interesting Tag moves available if you pick two compatible characters, which add a nice little layer to the whole Tag mechanic.įinally, the customization in the game is pretty great, and also a lot of fun to toy around with. Because of that I find it difficult to say whether or not the entire roster is particularly balanced or not, but it?s certainly fun to run through the roster set and see who you want to main. If you have a favorite Tekken character culled from the numerous entries in the long running series, there?s a pretty good chance you?ll find them here. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 also features one of the most expansive rosters in fighting game history. It?s a really great way of introducing players to the way that the Tag system works here, and is something that other fighting games could certainly take note of. One big addition comes from the new Training feature, which has a small story attached to it in which you take on the role of a robot fighter dubbed Combot, and participate in a series of events meant to teach you the basic mechanics of Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

Survival mode and Time Attack are fairly self-explanatory additions, and are generally expected in fighting games at this point, but at least Namco didn?t skimp on that feature here. Ghost Mode also provides the primary way of unlocking new endings, outfits, and cash that can be spent to purchase more customizable goods. Ghost Battle constantly pulls data from the online mode and gives you character combinations (along with their wacky outfits) to play against, allowing you to rank up your offline characters. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 also has a whole host of other modes to check out, tucked away in their offline menus. In fact TTT2?s online mode is damn near impressive in how well it works, and gives enough search options to make that experience as smooth as it can be, and serves as a godsend for people like me that don?t have the luxury of playing locally with other fighting game fans.īut that?s not where the superior experience ends.

A lot of that is due to the fact that the online experience isn?t busted right out of the gate. I?ll start off this review by stating that I find Tekken Tag Tournament 2 to be a far better experience than Tekken 6 ever managed to provide.
