3/3/2023 0 Comments Tekken 4 ps2![]() That's both the bad news and the good news: The similarities between this and previous Tekkens are obvious, but the changes are appreciable (though arguably not all for the best) and the new characters are cool. Released months ago for Japanese PS2 owners and more than a year ago in arcades, Tekken 4 really isn't much different from Tekken Tag Tournament before it, which itself was very similar to 1997's Tekken 3. Tekken 4 features several new characters. So perhaps it's no great surprise that the company didn't exactly aim for the moon with its latest offering, Tekken 4. At any rate, Namco has dominated the 3D-fighting genre for years, between its Tekken games and Soul Calibur. Actually, it's remained one of the finest fighting games for the system ever since, though given that fighting games are pretty scarce these days, maybe that isn't saying much. If you're a long-time gamer, you may wanna stay away.When the PlayStation 2 launched in late 2000, Tekken Tag Tournament was one of the best games in the system's starting lineup. I recommend this game if you're just beginning to play fighting games. The least Namco could've done was put a save feature for this mode so you won't have to start over every damn time! Tekken 4 is the black sheep of the Tekken franchise and it's actually a good black sheep. To unlock one of the stages, you have to complete Tekken Force. At the end of each stage is a boss which is a character. The enemies have different classes and varying levels of strength and defense. The stages in this mode are based off of stages from the game and look stunning. The mode is much better in this game and it's actually a challenge. Tekken Force returns from Tekken 3 and with a vengeance. That's one change Namco did right at least. You can use wall combos and use the stage to damage your opponent. The stages are realistic and very interactive. Some of the tracks are a pleasure to listen to and I enjoy listening to them in Theater mode. It may not be what most Tekken fans are used to but it's good enough. The music is nice and fits the stages well. If you're gonna experiment on a game, do it right. The gameplay is also unbalanced which is bad if you play multiplayer. ![]() Namco should've just left well enough alone. It also confuses a lot of longtime Tekken fans. Apparently Namco decided to experiment with the fighting system, adding things that didn't need to be added. The gameplay is probably the weakest point in the game. Kazuya Mishima returns (despite being killed off in Tekken 2) and he's better than ever! There are three new characters introduced in this game: Steve Fox a British boxer, Christie Montiero a female student of Eddy Gordo, and Craig Marduk a Vale Tudo fighter who's the target of revenge, They make a great and diverse addition to the roster and their fighting styles shine quite nicely amongst the other characters. The characters roster is small compared to Tekken Tag and Tekken 3 but I prefer quality over quantity. But if you wish to unlock more characters, you have to play through Arcade mode. Some stories aren't as exciting as others and some stories (and endings) are intertwined with each other. Now you know why the characters are entering the tournament. The prologues are quite a nice addition compared to the previous Tekken games. As for why, Arcade mode is there for that. All there is to know is that every character has entered the KOIF4 and for their own reasons. Now that I've played all of the other Tekken games, I don't play 4 as much as I used to. I bought it at a pawn shop when I was in 6th grade. Now that I've played all of the other Tekken 4 was the first Tekken game I've ever played. ![]() Tekken 4 was the first Tekken game I've ever played.
