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.
