Tekken Tag Tournament
Review
When it comes to the world of 3D fighting, two names rise above the rest with loyal followings and a track record considered to be paramount. While the Virtua Fighterseries has always been for the hardest of the hardcore, focusing on deep gameplay that feels obtuse to the casual gamer, the Tekken games have always been more accessible, allowing both the experienced player and the much-despised button mashers to have their fun. Now, Tekken Tag Tournament has come, featuring the tried and true Tekkengameplay combined with a new gimmick sweeping the fighting genre: the ability to tag multiple characters in and out of combat.
It is key to note that the Tekken Tag engine is not in any way new. It's simply a modified update of the Tekken 3 engine, with some improvement in the graphics and a tag feature. In this game, you select two different characters, bringing them in and out of combat with the new Tag button. While many games of this type don't end until all of your characters have lost the entirety of their life, in Tekken Tag, once one of your characters is done, you're done.
