This is mostly just a backdrop for the Fight Lab mode, and doesn’t really impact anything, but Lee has become a hilarious character and it’s fun seeing him involved in a plot that isn’t about ancient gods or super powerful relatives or what have you. Never one to take defeat lying down, however, Lee takes the substandard Combot he was using for practice purposes and repurposes it as his next Combot model, and attempts to train it in the ways of combat… in the most absurd manner possible. Lee’s corporation, Violet Systems, has just put the finishing touches on their newest Combot fighting robot… when Lee, in a grand flourish, accidentally reformats its data and blows it up.

The main storyline you can play through eschews the more serious, “Everything is going to hell.” storylines of the regular series in favor of a joke storyline featuring, of all people, Lee Chaolan. The end result is a game that effectively brings the concept into the present in a way that’s enjoyable and accessible, though it’s not without flaws.Īs has been the case in the last few games in the series, there’s a regular storyline to progress through in addition to the various side stories that pop up when you complete the game with the different characters, though the game likely isn’t “canon” in the strictest sense. It also brings the innovations made in the last few franchise releases into the mix, meaning that this is basically Tekken Tag Tournament with Tekken 6 mechanics, as well as some additional mechanics and tuning to make the experience sing. As with its predecessor, the game focuses on tag team combat, featuring an absolutely massive roster of characters and some interesting innovations to boot.

Well, twelve years and three sequels plus a few spin-offs later, here we are with Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Namco’s second try at the tag team formula. The tag team mechanics were well implemented at the time, and the core Tekken gameplay was as solid as ever even with the tag mechanics attached, which, along with the expansive roster that was (at that point) the largest in the series, made for a solid fighting game that was fun to play and held up well for quite a while. The game was widely accepted by fans and critics alike and was one of the best launch titles available for the PS2, so it stands to reason that a sequel would have been well received as well. It’s a little surprising that Namco didn’t revisit the concept for twelve years.

The original Tekken Tag Tournament came to the console market as a PS2 exclusive launch title, and was an interesting take on the Tekken series that, until now, was never expanded upon.
