Tekken has already earned its audience, and the series stopped innovating a decade ago. Each new installment in the series is more of a tune-up, with the occasional new character to enliven the box art. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 keeps the tradition alive. It’s more than a patch to Tekken 6 - but not by much. Namco has seemed pretty happy with their formula since Tekken 4 and have barely changed it other than to keep their consistently stunning graphics ahead of the curve. It’s a new feature added to a game that’s barely changed since the Playstation era. The new feature of Tekken Tag 2 is that, unlike in other Tekken games (except the first Tag Tournament), players can add a tag partner. Although only one character’s health need be emptied for a fight to be over, and the addition of a new character barely changes how the game is played. Unlike in other fighters that allow tag teams - namely, Dead or Alive - there are barely any special moves or team attacks provided for each pair. There are only a handful of very difficult attacks that only occasionally work and have only limited utility. Essentially, the addition of another fighter serves only to occasionally lengthen a fight. Still, it’s nice to include as many players in the game as possible, since multiplayer is the entire thrust of the game. Tekken Tag 2 was made entirely with multiplayer in mind.
