    I could name it Tekken tag tournament 2: the Tekken 6 expanded experience. It's still a great game, worth playable and payable, you won't find a great new thing but if you like the series you'll hardly regret it

    It's the best fighting game that have been ever made!! In comparison to Mortal Kombat that has been very very ridiculous in story and stupid game play, This game is superb! Item Moves is really the thing you can enjoy with!

    New characters such as Forest and Jun are fantastic and you'll enjoy playing them. Also if you have DLC characters you can experience more superb characters and great movements in this game!
    If you are a real fighter and enjoy fighting games, this game is the best choice for you!

    Very happy i bought this game, everything i could want in a Tekken game. Only downside is that with all the new features, you would hope to actually stay alive a bit longer in a fight. Its frustrating that two strong conbos from Bryan Fury whilst in a Rage state can kill you instantly. Other than that, pretty awesome!

    Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the pinnicle of fighting games. It is a very fun, fast paced fighter with bundles of in-game content for you to have fun with. If you are a fighting game fan, then this is a must have!

    As always, Namco has made another great addition to the Tekken franchise. However, this game is not for the faint of heart. The people who enjoy this game are the competitive gamers. Tekken is basically the Dark Souls of the fighting game world. TT2, specifically is very similar to Tekken 6, with a graphics boost, and the addition of team play.

    The best Tekken game on the Xbox 360 it plays really well and the graphics are incredible.
    I really dont know why it got sutch average reviews on other site it so much better than the likes of Mortal Kombat or Dead or Alive 5.
    A really good alternative to Super Street Figher IV and worth checking out.

The introduction of Tag Assaults provides more variety to the game play and ensures that any two characters can surely create one. The time you can spend mucking around on the game would never cease to end! There is always a new character to learn, more customising to do, playing online and fighting in the various modes of gameplay. The only true fault I have with this game is the online is very slow and lags a big deal. As for a casual gamer like myself, this game is perfect for a muck around and to really devote time to practicing with characters I like. Tekken tunes is a nice feature, allowing you to alter the backing tracks to the many stages featured in the game. Combos tuning is a good tutorial for beginners to the game except for it's difficulty for first timers trying to pass some areas of it such as the tag assaults and combos part. All they give you to help is the instructions on how to do it in full once and then you are left on your own. Very tricky. The customisation is awe-inspiring. The freedom and personalisation that it provides you with is marvellous and an aspect that some games lack. The pair play feature is amazing for entertainment with friends and keeping a group of people entertained. Well and truly an amazing game!! Expand

    Pretty fun game. I'm a bit casual so for me the pluses are the amount of characters you get as well as the solid story and game play as well as the amount of modes. The only bad part is that it's not for the casual gamer.

    Este es el mejor juego de la saga y con diferencia, prácticamente todos los personajes, muchos trajes y edición que puedes aplicar a cada personaje, el combot editable, combos en pareja, ataques únicos, juego fluido, dlc gratuitos, muy buen modo online, videos finales, dificultad bien medida. divertido... perfecto

    I mean personally, this IS the best Tekken game in my personal opinion. Let alone having the biggest roster in the series (which, yes, roster size doesn't always equal quality), we also get the biggest array of stages and customization options.

    The game play is built on as per usual (Tekken has always built on it's characters move sets, instead of changing them every game, thank god) and the visuals are crisp as can be. I would argue TT2 looks on par if not better than T7 honestly, and that's on Xbox One X.

    Overall, TT2 is just everything I could possibly want in a Tekken game, minus the lame story mode that usually gets tacked on...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After that huge flop of Tekken 6, Namco Bandai gets back to the rail in the most bombastic way.
    It would be the best tekken game if Tekken5/Dark Resurrection don't exist: Fast Footstep, adding new moves, tag mechanics improved and unexpectedly fun customization which not only change characters but also game,
    The possibility of disable the blur makes the game even faster and funnier.
    I would give it a 10/10 if it wasn't for the **** xbox 360 D-pad which almost ruined my experience but thankfully Harada and co, makes the game so customizable that you can solve this problem.

    The best tekken in history. Laughing loading times and millions of hours of fighting online or with friends. After this the saga returned to misery.

Los combates no se hacen para nada aburridos gracias a la gran cantidad de movimientos, de personajes, de combinaciones TAG (tanto de elegir a tu pareja de luchadores como de combinar ataques con ambos), y a unos escenarios y banda sonora inmejorables. Además de los modos de juego offline clásicos (Arcade, Duelo, Contrarreloj, Supervivencia y POR EQUIPOS), incluye el Laboratorio, donde puedes configurar a tu propio Combot con los movimientos que prefieras y un Modo Online que a día de hoy sigue funcionando, si bien las características de Tekken World Tour cerraron. Incluso en el apartado gráfico sigue destacando: si bien al hacer asaltos TAG baja la resolución del juego momentáneamente, los personajes se ven de lujo (mejor incluso que en Tekken 7) y el efecto Motion Blur aporta fluidez a los combates. Sin lugar a dudas el mejor Tekken de todos, que además en el caso de la versión de XBOX 360 se puede jugar también en XBOX One y Series X|S con sus correspondientes mejoras (y pérdidas como poner tus propias canciones en Música de Tekken, salvo los DLC de pago) y a un precio muy reducido.

    With enough variation of modes to opt for, including the new story-type mode Fight Lab (which is rather short, although it will help gamers learn the game's moves), Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has enough fighting gameplay for single-player and same-console multiplayer entertainment, especially with the strong controls and impressive visuals. However, the utter dismalness of Xbox Live (lack of) gameplay delivers a double-fisted punch to the face of Tekken Tag Tournament 2's quality.

    Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is often cheap and barebones. However, it's also one of the most comprehensive fighting games I've ever played. With 59 characters and thousands of moves, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has been specifically designed with fans in mind. Newcomers will also enjoy the large roster and cinematic endings, but may find the online multiplayer unwelcoming!

    Even when this one is more the first Tekken Tag spin-off than anything else you will enjoy it because of its flawless fight system and "eternal" playability. [Oct 2012]
