This holds true in the second title as well. One thing that made the first game so good was the ease of the controls. This brings the total number to 20, plus a few more surprises. If you play the game in arcade mode and finish it with each character, their boss becomes a playable character. With the new characters combined with the old, the total number of playable characters at the beginning of the game is 10. Her entrance is to stop the evil Kazuya, who is known for smuggling animals.

Jun is an officer of the Wildlife protection agency. He is a detective on the Hong Kong International police force. A totally new character on the scene is Lei. Once again, Jack is not really new to the scene but is just more redefined than his predecessor. He was in the first game but was only a boss and not selectable to play. Some new characters make their video game debut in this game. This is a fast paced game that really pulls you into the action.

This is apparently more difficult to program than it is to say because this is a major flaw in some other games on the market. When I hit the buttons or move, I want to have the character perform the move at the same time. I really get annoyed with fighting games that are slow and unresponsive. The best part of the gameplay in Tekken 2 is the speed of the game. That is all there is to it.Įnough of that. The idea is to knock the life bar to zero and win the match. You have a life bar that depletes as you get hit by the other fighter and likewise for the opponent's life bar as you hit him. There are a number of options that can be changed but the basic idea is the same as most fighting games. These games are 3D fighting titles at its best. Rounding off the whole stack is the incredibly fluid animations of each fighter without ever running into any slowdown.įor those people who have not played Tekken, let me explain the premise of the games. Of course, we have 23 new fighting backgrounds that are graphically pleasing to the eye. Next, let's move over to the three new modes of gameplay (Survival, Battle and Practice). First, let's start off with new characters and new bosses. So what is new in this game other than the graphical improvements? I'm glad you asked. Now, Namco has fixed the graphical glitches, added more characters and made the best fighting game ever. The original title was good, but was plagued with minor glitches here and there. Okay, so on a more serious note, Tekken 2 is the second game of the incredibly successful Tekken series. My job would be way too easy if that was all that I needed to write. Don't forget to tip your waitress, drive carefully and see you next time! Ready? This game is one of the top three games available for the Playstation and you must go buy it. I am going to make this review short and straight to the point.
