Tekken 4 offers a standard assortment of gameplay modes, all of which revolve around pitting two skilled martial artists against each other in elimination matches. But you could still call it one of the better fighting games in years.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's Beyond that, Tekken 4, like its predecessors, is an ideal fighting game both for those who've been playing fighting games for years, as well as for those who've never played a fighting game before.


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.
#TEKKEN 3 EDDY PS2#
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. When the PlayStation 2 launched in late 2000, Tekken Tag Tournament was one of the best games in the system's starting lineup.
