Daily Radar

If you like Tekken then you have to have this, the most, biggest, best bag of Tekken so far. A droolworthy launch title.

GameSpot

Graphically, the game has taken a very large leap, and the arcade version of the game looks downright ugly by comparison.

TotalGames.net

The depth within blows the likes of "Street Fighter EX3" and "Dead Or Alive 2" out of the picture.

GameSpy

The second best fighting game ever made, losing only to Namco's own "Soul Calibur," but still should be bought.

Gaming Maxx

While this game is Tekken three with tag team and better graphics, it really is a fun game to play. This is probably what Soul Calibur was to Dreamcast, although not as great.

GamePro

Combines a wealth of visual power with extra gameplay modes, creating hours of intense gameplay.

Electric Playground

Currently the high water mark for the PS2.

CNET Gamecenter

From the revamped graphics to the refined gameplay, this is arcade fighting at its best.

Thunderbolt

While Tekken Tag Tournament is one of the oldest fighters on the PS2, few of the later fighting games have come close to matching its quality.

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)

Looks stunning. The polygon count has been upped from the coin-op version, and the characters are as lifelike as you could want.

Cincinnati Enquirer

The graphics are the best ever seen in a fighting game.

IGN

It has more characters, more moves, four-player tag battle, and more secrets than you'll find in any other fighting game in the world. If you're looking for revolutionary new features or gameplay, you're not going to find it here.

GamerWeb Sony

Very nice and very pretty, it's just too darn bad that there weren't more innovations included in the game.

Happy Puppy

Although the fundamental Tekken formula has changed a little, the mind-blowing graphics will draw in even the most casual gamers.

Core Magazine

It has flash. It has substance. It will astound you. Sadly, if you want to be astounded for very long, you'll probably need someone to come along for the competition.

Gaming Age

Although TTT doesn't innovate or provide tons of replay value options as Namco's Dreamcast opus "Soul Calibur," it is nearly perfect in what it does--and it is guaranteed to provide you with hours upon hours of solid fighting enjoyment.

All Game Guide

Not the system-launching revolution that it was perhaps cracked up to be. It is, however, a great fighting game, and a tremendous addition to any fighting fan's library.

PSX Nation

To say that Tekken Tag Tournament is as original for the PS2 as Tekken was for the PS would be a mistake.

Total Video Games

The US version of Tekken Tag Tournament is without flicker, or as some people call them: "jaggies".

Game Fan

Such a non-step forward in game play that any visual victory it achieves rings hollow.

Game Revolution

The most despicable Tekken Tag faux pas is the omission of a last hit slow-motion replay.

TotalPlayStation

Is Tekken Tag Tournament a new game? No, that’s what Tekken 4 will be. TTT is an improvement and refinement of the old games.

Spank!

If you have never played a Tekken game before then prepare for perhaps the best fighting game ever, however Tekken veterans shouldn't expect too much.

Hot Games

Relying too much on its past as other more advanced games pass it by, the series is fast becoming one for diehard fans only.

Antagonist

One big disk of suck. I could find better fighting games for the Atari.

Tekken Tag is the best fighting game for the PlayStation 2 because it is the only game of its kind to have graphics with such smooth textures and cool color coordination and of course the almighty tag battle system is a very awesome element in the game.Aside from the above mentioned what really got me addicted to the game was the way the ending character movies were integrated into the ending credit staff roll and the music that plays during the staff roll and movies was also very nice along with all the other songs of the game.Just crank up the volume after you beat the game watch the credits and wait a while and you'll see what I'm talking about,this doesn't apply to unknown's movie though.The replay at the end of the game is also very good .You'll be hooked on this game for many weeks.

Bonbon A. gave it an8:
Luph the game. Many old characters from Tekken series return, though it doesn't really have a storyline. I'm sad that they only make the *real* ending movie for the secret character "Unknown". Still, this game rocks :)

Dragon Knight of Final Fantasy gave it an 8:
I love this game it is fun, fast and simple with lots of haracters and the whole tag team thing is really fun. Also it's cheap I bought it for $5.99 used. Also you missed Offical Playstation Magazine's score 4 1/2 out of 5.

Kyle K. gave it an 8:
A fun wicked game, good graphics, fun bowling and a stretching point in the game is the theatre.

Bill M. gave it a 10:
Kicks butt. Best Tekken game by far.

Virus Man gave it a 6:
Its a fighting game. Kicks butt till it is all unlocked, then gets a little boring.

Ryan M. gave it an 8:
Just like every other fighting game. Once all the characters are unlocked you'll never play it again. The Tag battle is creative and the Tekken bowl gives it an interesting twist, but this game is far from above other fighters.
