Video Review - Tekken Tag Tournament 2

 noctislucis21 it has a very simple and awesome charisma.

 spiritwave Some people enjoy Fighting Games just as much as tournament players even though they don't particularly want to memorize long combo chains & the like. I've seen this argument somewhere before but there should really be an 'Easy' mode that is actually somewhat easier. I know it's hard to grasp.

 spiritwave I admire your tenacity for putting effort into mastering tekken and 3d fighting games in general, but I agree with frazzz619 in that they should make it a bit easier to make it accessible to new players and make them enjoy 3d fighting games

 frazzz619 What do you mean by Fight lab is broken and unplayable? EVERYTHING they teach u in it work  , it must be you. Ranking screens plastered over everything? come on bro they just tell you your rank before the fight nothing to get mad about. So basically this game is not worthy of a 5 because you cant play it? you're denying that it has a tons of features , huge cast of characters and basically ur only criticism is that its too hard and other minor things that are not even a problem?

 LMFAO!!!! Yeah. Me too. Me too........

 megadeth1117 lol

 Deadly_Nemesis They are trying to keep all beat em ups alive bu adding a tag system for depth and longevity. As you quite rightly pointed out, generic fighters use it everywhere now. Has the beat em up died ? is there another option like a more robust environment, instead of standing side by side, as with fatal fury did in the mega-drive days or DOA on the 360. A much more rich experience and creating more depth. I used to love tekken but sadly there was nothing else close to it when it arrived on the ps1, in my opinion a 15 quidder so when pals come round you can have a quick blast.

 KingofCabal So?

 marktwoface   lol pro players dont play tekken. they play virtua fighter. sorry but tekken is a messy sloppy fighter.

LOL

 SirenAries  HATER!!!

 SirenAries haha!! loving the rivalry!! normally i wouldn't disagree, however as a VF fan from the beginning having it on all machines (including the 32 x version) its a quality fighter, loved it in the arcades too!!! tekken brought combo moves and a fresh slower paced fighting style, that requires skill!! haha i will agree you need to be a pro player to play VF. wicked :)

 SirenAries dude! Virtua fighter is for fucking amateurs!

 randomtext They do... some are actually pretty long. Jaycee's is like a full 2 minutes.

 fredwv So. you will be back for the Dead or Alive 5 review. next week?

 RitsukoEX depends... will they be glistening with sweat, too?

 DarthLod Well, I think that what you have to say has a lot of validity and merit to it, but I think that that's exactly what developers and gamers want now is a much more intricate fighting game. And, as far as controllers go, I've been playing Tekken since the PS1 days and I've enjoyed the game highly with the standard controller. In fact, when I've gone to the arcade (on the rare occasion that I have), I've found that I can pull off most of the moves that I usually do there as well. 

To respond to your SF 2 simplicity, they have remade that game for those of you that do love those games and you can play people like that online so I don't see exactly where your critique is coming from. Even SF fans have moved on to SF 4 and whatnot, and the game really does thrive. It's an amazing game that really requires skill in a similar manner that SF 2 does. 

If you mean to say that, "We'll never see a SF 2," then you're probably right. We're moving past those games because everything's becoming much more complex. Look at the movies, tv shows, games that are now on. They resemble sticky morality (a la Breaking Bad), big politics (a la Metal Gear Solid), To fans, it would just be lazy if they kept making the same fighting game over and over and over again with little to no variation. Who wants to buy "Tekken #" when it's the exact same as the last one? Well. Nobody is going to spend their money on that. They'll keep their previous game and not buy the newer ones. It will only attract newer players. The same can be said with the SF series. Albeit, they have been re-releasing the same game with new characters, they kept you coming back FOR those characters. Whether you think that Capcom was doing this for a cash crop is a moot point because they're moving past simplicity into more complex play. 

It's nice to take a look back to where we have been and take a look at the greats (Mortal Kombat 3 and the like), but there are some really great newer fighters out there, and I don't think that I'm stressing my case too far as to say that you're really missing out if you're not giving them a shot. They're a blast to say the least especially if you love the skill of video games. 

 DarthLod I can understand. if you're talking about the Xbox360 standed controller. it is crappy with fighters. but Crapcom have made good rip-offs of the Sega Saturn controller ( I think its called the Fight pad? ) that is cheap and good with fighters! I hope you not talking about the PS3 controller! because. that standed controller don't look any different from the PS2 era and later PS1 eras!
