OMG it's like they listened to me. Arcade mode is actually now EASY. The Ranking screens have disappeared. Do the Tekken creators listen to their fans or what?? Awesome.

 zeonfollower Find me another game that has a school girl and her pet panda beat the sh*t out of a velociraptor with boxing gloves and a 90 year old farting mad scientist then.

They gave TTT2 a high rating despite the fact that the glorious days of Tekken was already behind us. I miss the good old days of Tekken.

Hmmm, I didn't know "Tekken Tag Tournament 2" will be loaded with so many options: that's cool, for sure!

 

Good review as well!

not a big fan of the co-up fighting system.But im still gonna get it, have all the other tekken games. And they are pretty fun to play. I bet this game is good. Got good score, and look pretty fun.

WTF where did the rating go , what's the rating , it just ended without one ???

Good review.

 

I find it harsh that some people are giving the game hate because it's difficult to be good at. All fighters have a pretty hardcore learning curve. Tekken's is slightly above a few others in terms of getting at a decent level. There are a lot of strong players in the Tekken community, and definitely more of them than other 3d fighting game communities I've been a part of. Anyway, once you put the effort in, it pays off. But I guess some people just don't have the will to be a try hard just to be decent.

 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.

kaluy 10 pts

 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

What on earth has happened to the good Tekken I used to play!

theBeorn 53 pts

I'm a DOA fan and will wait for it, but this one looks good. Nice it got a good score, have fun guys!

kbblaze 9 pts

to those who had one of the first three Tekken's ,you know this game is like heaven and a must have

frazzz619 13 pts

Unfortunately this is a day-one return. Fight Lab is broken and unplayable, & the difficulty through out the whole game is unrelenting even on Easy.

Graphics are spoiled by enormous RANKING screens plastered over everything, and what few visual enhancements there are from Tekken 6 (water/dirt/etc) are also spoiled by characters sporting generic clothing, stupid hats and ridiculous objects (Arcade.)

Online is full of Jun/Eddy/Law and unless your job in life is professional King Of Iron Fist Tournament Player you will not even get in a hit. I loved Tekken 3. But this is not worthy of a 5.0

GorlokMadSkills 6 pts

 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........

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!! It better not have stupid load times like Tekken 6. mood killer

itchyflop 242 pts

Still it looks better and has plenty of characters to chose from. Plus its Nam-co and they're fkng awesome. If i had any friends id buy this to play on with them, oh hang on i can play online, i know i only have a 2 bar connection. I think Namco need to release a patch to fix this, fan loyalty.

Looks like more fun than Tekken 6, so it should be worth it. I will save my money for DOA5, just because I know I like it more.

As for games that should've been in the PS3Store already: Last Blade 2.

bring back pit fighter that was a fking awesome game

Deadly_Nemesis 786 pts

 

These guys do remember what a review is right? Here's a hint. It's not reading all the cute features noted on the back of the box!

And I see every fighting game is getting with a tag mode now.

itchyflop 242 pts

 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.

I find it funny that gamespot doesn't have not even one pro tekken player in their staff! that's just sad... it sucks to see them reviewing the game so poorly and showing off footage of their low skills for combos.

SirenAries 19 pts

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

itchyflop 242 pts

 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!

Rule #1: You do not talk about Fight Lab.

Rule #2: You do not talk about Fight Lab.

Rule #3: If this your first time at Fight Lab, you must fight.

Wonder if they will have endings this time around... used to enjoy the tekken endings when you finished climbing the ladder through a tournament in single player.
