Tekken Tag Tournament is the fourth installment in the popular Tekken fighting game series. It, however, is not canonical to the Tekken storyline. The game was originally available as an update kit for Tekken 3. Tekken Tag Tournament was originally for the arcade before a release to the PlayStation 2. The arcade version operated similarly, but ran on a 32 bit graphics engine like Tekken 3. It received upgraded graphics when it was ported to the home system.
[edit] GameplayTekken Tag Tournament, being the first Tekken title for the PlayStation 2, featured vastly detailed graphics and improved quality music. It was also notable for having the largest character roster in the series until the release of Tekken 6, boasting an extravagant 39 characters, all returning from the previous installments in the series, save for Unknown, the boss character, and Tetsujin, a costume swap for Mokujin. Unknown is similar to Mokujin in that she can replicate other fighting styles, but she can also switch styles by clicking the right analogue stick. Both Unknown and Tetsujin have only appeared in this game. Finally, its most important feature is its tag system. A player selects two characters and may tag out between them to utilize special combos and throws. Characters can be tagged out to recover energy, but if one character is KO'd, the round ends. When in Team Battle mode, the fights are also tag fights unless there is one person left on a team where they will fight alone. Tekken Tag Tournament included a minigame called "Tekken Bowl", that challenged the player to use a team of characters to play a bowling game. Depending on the player's selected character, different attributes would be placed into effect in the mini-game. For example, Bryan Fury has a powerful roll due to his super strength, and he can use a targeting system to make more accurate shots because of his cybernetic enhancements. A physically weaker character like Xiaoyu would have a much less powerful strike, but would be easier to control when placing the spin and amount of force on the ball. Strong characters who accidentally bowl at the maximum strength find themselves shooting across the lane with the ball still attached. [edit] PlotTekken Tag Tournament, being a non-canon game, features no storyline. It is more of a compilation of the Tekken series giving fans the opportunity to play as almost every character in the series up to that point, including many of those that had apparently been killed off in the main Tekken storyline. Of all the returning characters, Kazuya Mishima was the most heavily promoted, since he featured prominently on the game's cover art and promotional material, despite his absence from the previous entry in the Tekken series (he would return in Tekken 4). When Arcade mode is completed, a real-time ending is shown over the credits for the main character (ie. the first character chosen when selecting the two fighters). The exception to this is Unknown's ending, which is an FMV. [edit] Character roster[edit] Returning characters
[edit] New charactersThe only absent characters from the game are: Marshall Law, the original Jack, King I, Kuma Sr., Dr. Boskonovitch and Gon. Boskonovitch, however, makes a cameo appearance in the Tekken Bowl mode as a spectator. [edit] Arcade and console version differencesThe arcade and console versions of Tekken Tag Tournament differ slightly. The arcade version ran on a 32bit engine, utilizing the graphics engine of Tekken 3. These graphics were ran using the Tekken 3 PCB board, based on the PlayStation hardware. The console version ran on a highly updated engine, ultilizing the PlayStation 2's graphics processor. The game doesn't run on a 32bit engine, yet on a new and updated engine highly similar to that found on Tekken 4. BGMs differed too, as the console version had new updated tracks, whilst the arcade version was based on MIDI tracks with an instrumental backing. Unknown is not playable on the arcade version, yet the character is on the PlayStation 2 version. There are also crucial differences concerning the playability of the characters. Some moves or attacks are much more efficient in arcade version than in console version and viceversa. The arcade version of Tekken Tag Tournament has never been played on consoles before, but the arcade versions of Tekken 1, 2, and 3 have been played on Tekken 5. [edit] ReceptionTekken Tag received positive reviews with critics. GameSpot giving it a 9.6 out of 10. It has an aggregate score of 85 on Metacritic. IGN gave it an 8.7 out of 10 praising its graphics and character moves. In 2007, IGN listed Tekken Tag Tournament as the 23rd best game on the PlayStation 2.[1] As of 2008 PSM states Tekken Tag is regarded as the best intallment in the series. [edit] External links
