Tekken Tag Tournament 1

Overview
Tekken Tag Tournament (more commonly known as Tekken Tag) is the fourth installment in the popular 3D fighting game series Tekken. However, unlike previous Tekken games, Tekken Tag is non-canonical to the Tekken storyline. It was developed and published by Namco in 2000. It is the first Tekken game to appear on the PlayStation 2. 

Gameplay
Tekken Tag's gameplay is unlike any other Tekken game, both before and after it. The game adds a "tag" component where instead of traditional one on one matches, players pick two characters which would be swapped in and out at the players leisure (although characters cannot be tagged in and out while being attacked), and the match ends when one character's health bar depletes. Tekken Tag Tournament is was also noted as having the largest cast of characters in the series history (up until Tekken 6, which including the unplayable last boss had 40 fighters in it), with every single character in the series at that point being brought back for the non-canonical game.
Tekken Tag gameplay
Tekken Tag also introduced "Tekken Bowl," which was a bowling minigame where the player selects two characters and plays a bowling minigame with them. Different characters even have different attributes, for example Jack-2 had a special targeting system due to him being a robot, and was also a much more powerful bowler then some of the smaller characters, such as Ling Xiaoyu and Nina Williams, however, the less powerful characters would be easier to control when attempting to place a spin and amount of force on the ball (which were both determined by a gauge).
Additionally, due to Tekken Tag Tournament being developed on the PlayStation 2, it was easily the best looking game in the series, with exceptionally advanced 3D graphics and updated soundtrack quality, with the overall audiovisual presentation being considered excellent at the time.
Reception
Tekken Tag Tournament was considered a flagship launch title for the PlayStation 2, and to this day is considered one of the best games on the PlayStation and in the Tekken series. The game received high scores from publications such as Gamespot, where it got a 9.6/10, IGN where it scored 8.710 and 91/100 on Gamespy. The game has an average score of 85.6% according to score compiling site Game Rankings.
