Fun and Innovative
The tag team action adds nice variety to a series we have grown to love. The signature graphics, characters, and sound are all present.
Mostly, this game is just fun. While there may be better entries in the series (Tekken 5), there are also some disappointments. This game gives everyone what they expect: a fun game with an accessible fighting system.
My only problem with the game is the same problem I have with all of the Tekken series. I do not enjoy controlling characters with the D-pad, and wish developers would give the vast majority of gamers a chance to use the analog stick, which most people prefer.
The game has a lot of pick-up-and-play qualities and the bargain price makes it a sure bet. Fun in multiplayer or alone, I definitely recommend it as a purchase.
