Tekken Tag Tournament

A month ago I finally purchased a Playstation2(PS2), so I had to buy a game for it, so "Tekken Tag Tournament" it was. "TTT" is not the true sequel to "Tekken 3", but it packs all the characters from the three previous games, adds new moves & backgrounds, a tag-feature and of course wonderful graphics. The graphics in this game are strickingly good, and show you what can be done on PS2, but the gameplay remains largely unchanged since "Tekken 3". "TTT" only adds one new character to the series(a woman called "Unknown"), so if you have "Tekken 3" and are sick of it, you shouldn`t play this game. If you love the series you`d be mad to miss out on this game. Now for a quite serious complaint about the game. Japanese and American games run at 60Hz, whereas European run at 50Hz. This means that European games run 17,5% slower than their American and Japanese counterparts. For a fighting game like "TTT", the loss of speed can prove to be a pain, especially when the developers are now allowed by Sony to include a 60Hz option in their games. "Dead or Alive 2" has such a feature, and I think it is brilliant, so it is a shame that Namco didn`t include one in the European version of "TTT". If you ask me what game is best of "TTT" and "Dead or Alive 2", then "TTT" is the winner due to the number of characters, number of moves and longevity, but "Dead or Alive 2" comes close. I refuse to give "TTT" a perfect 10, due to the lack of new characters and the lack of a 60Hz-mode in my European version of the game.

9,5/10
