Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

If you rent this title or get it used, don't expect to play online for free. A $10 online pass code is required to play with your online friends. Because I rented this game and live by myself, I had very little fun playing this game.
Other downloadable content includes movie clips from tekken 1, 2, and 3. And background music. Not in sets, just single songs. And no, none of that is free to download.
It takes 20-30 min to complete arcade mode with any given character or set of characters. You are rewarded with a 1-2 min clip of the first character's ending movie. This has been the case with all previous tekken titles, but there seems to be decidedly less effort and story placed into these. Some are animated through still framed sketched images that look like projects i did in community college animation class (they had 1 minute of audio but only 15 seconds of animation...they did their best to make it work without drawing more frames). And more frustrating still, some use clips from a previous Tekken. How fun is it to play through the same 20-30 min of gameplay for the 15th time to see a 2 minute movie clip that has the graphics of a PS2 title? it's not. So, if you're playing offline by yourself, I'd give this game a 3 out of 10. It's monotonous and doesn't reward enough.

I have to keep in mind that the point of this game is to play with others though. I was able to play through the game a couple times co-op and against friends. Being competitive with friends is a lot of fun, and tekken tag does a great job of making every match intense through the rage system. There's a massive gallery of characters to choose from as well. This is clearly where they spent most of their energy in development. Each character plays fairly unique from others, which is a big improvement from the previous tag where some characters were just alternate outfits.
As a game to be played with friends I'd probably rate it a 9.

Lastly, menus in the game are a headache.
