The fighting engine is awesome. The graphics are awesome. The characters' moves are awesome. This game just plain kicks ass.

Wickedly sick action, amazingly fast gameplay, mother of all.... What more is there to say? Tekken 2 rules! The undeniable king of fighting games is here, and it's time to break bones and necks.

Tekken 2 is amazing ps1 game, it was released in 1996 along with crash badicoot 1 and blood omen legacy of kain. if you are a tekken fan, get tekken 2, it's good.

Another twist unique (I think) to Tekken 2 is the infinite fighting area. If you hate the cheap 'Ring Outs' in "VF2" or "Battle Arena Toshinden" or if your irritating friend keeps pinning you against the wall when playing X-Men, you'll love the unlimited fighting area.

The backgrounds are definitely more involved this time around, replacing the barren Virtua Fighter I-style backdrops with detailed, and occasionally moving, fighting arenas. And the light sourcing! It has to be seen to be believed.

Blocky 3D brawler borrowed from "Virtua Fighter" to bring grade-A whoop ass to Sony's console. [Jan 2004, p.189]

Good in the sense that it means anyone can instantly pick it up and perform miraculous feats of head-cleaving prowess. But bad because it means you can effortlessly plough straight through it without having to work very hard.

Characters are more varied and numerous, the moves possible with each of these characters is multiplied many fold, and the environments which they interact are certainly more detailed.

Este jogo é incrível! Eu recebi e ainda não posso parar de jogar. Os gráficos são tão detalhadas para um game e é desafiador, mas divertido e terá que jogar por horas! A história é complexa e profundamente pensado. O melhor jogo que eu já joguei de forma

This game is amazing for it's time, even though some of the music is rehashed it's so good that i don't care. The fighting is so complex, but not impossible to learn (i played it the first time as a five year old). A lot happended since the first one, a lot of new modes like team play, survival, time attack and practice with combolists. Many new characters and character endings, updated and new fighting mechanics like the counter system (though only Jun has this feature).

Fun Tekken game from the early days. I remember playing this on a PSX with friends back in the day and loving it. The game had your standard fare of modes a fighting game should have, along with the combat engine that is fun to learn and create your own custom combos with. Overall Tekken 2 is a fun experience with more characters than to original, and is a great place to get your feet wet with fighting games.

Los juegos de lucha no la tienen tan difícil, simplemente tienen que ser visualmente atractivos y tener combos espectaculares que hagan que el jugador profundice en sus mecánicas, Tekken 2 definitivamente no es ni una ni otra.
