Tekken 2 is a massive improvement on the first game, with 25 playable fighters, smooth combat and iconic character endings. The core fighting still feels tight and satisfying, though exploitable AI and static pre-rendered backgrounds show their age. A classic early 3D fighter well worth revisiting for retro fans.

Improved on the original. Not particularly more beautiful , but brought some new characters, albeit many clones.

Great game such an improvement to theist tekken I love the amount unlockable characters. Felt this one really kicked off the franchise in my opinion

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.

Tekken 2 is a fighting game, the second entry in the Tekken series. It was originally released for arcades in 1995, and ported to the PlayStation a year later.

Most underrated Tekken game with Easy to learn hard to master gameplay this game is a banger

Sequel to what was at the time easily the best fighting game around, and it surpassed it in every department. The number of fighters seems like slim pickings and the graphics are rather blocky by today's standards, but the Tekken games are unbeatable in the fighting stakes on the PS1.

Not Exellent on game play but for the time are king of fighting

Ai suoi tempi rivoluzionario, con **** carismatici e sistema di combattimento molto diverso rispetto agli altri picchiaduro sul mercato. Grafica ai tempi straordinaria e buona longevità, con un sostenuto numero di **** giocabili. Un punto in più perchè è uno di quei giochi che ha fatto la storia.

Tekken 2, while better than the original, isn’t nearly as good as Tekken 3 was, but this game still deserves credit.

It's astonishing that this game is 25 years old. Having played the first game before that, I can easily say that Tekken 2 improves on everything that made the first game great. The game's fighting system is very complex and enjoyable and the story/arcade mode isn't as difficult to finish as it was in the first game. It also provides you with many new features, such as the Time Attack mode and Survival mode, which gives the player more challenge other than the main arcade mode. The soundtrack is fantastic, while new themes for the characters and the stage design and graphics, while dated today, look fantastic at the time. Tekken 2 is great fighting game for its time and it still holds up pretty well after all these years.

OVERALL - 84% Gameplay - 8/10 Graphics (for time) - 8/10 Story - 7/10 Game Length - 7/10 Characters - 9/10 Level/Area Design - 8/10 Atmosphere - 7/10 Sound Effects - 8/10 Soundtrack - 7/10 Replay Value - 10/10 A great building ground for the games to come.

Nice tekken game with lots of characters, i remember the third one was better. OGRE 4 THE WIN.

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.

One of the greatest fighting game sequels in video game history. It surpasses the original and would continue to evolve into a fantastic series. I love this game. The graphics back in 1996 looked slightly better than the original but 20 years on they obviously look awful. The music is good but I like the console port music from the 1st Tekken much more. The arcade version music is way better than the home port. The sound effects for punches, kicks, throws, damage and death cries sound so badass. The gameplay had a MASSIVE overhaul and brought in new fighting mechanics to keep the game more interesting. The sub-bosses from the original return and are improved in every area in terms of depth, style and moveset. It brought us many new fighters to the series: Jun Kazama, Bruce Irvin, Lei Wulong, Alex/Roger, Angel/Devil, Baek Doo San and Jack 2. The new mechanics were -command list -10 hit combos for every fighter -hidden throws and throw chain combos for many fighters - reversals and throw reversals - back throws - unblockable attacks and dash/ hidden special attacks -sidestep for Kazuya and Heihachi Of course the various modes that would become the staple of the series and the fighting game genre such as Time Attack Mode, Survival Mode, Team Battle Mode and Practice Mode. The only flaw with the game is the stiff controls and the stupid space-jump mechanic from Virtua Fighter. Thank God they fixed this in Tekken 3. Overall i give this game a 9 out of 10. A must buy for fighting game fans.

A Huge step up over the original game but still not quite as good as the third game in the series. Still a solid game and well worth a look in for anyone that has an original Playstation.

Tekken 2 is the second installment in the Tekken fighting game series, developed and published by Namco. + Excellent 3D Fighting Game + Good Characters Designs + Ending Cutcenes

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.

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

One of the best Tekken classic in the history,fun arcade mode,very easy characters to control and master,great **** no Tekken 3 not even close but the reason why i gave it a 9 cause its the first Tekken game i played and the reason why im a fan of the franchise,probably you won't find any fighting game better than Tekken,its definately the king of fighting games and had stay that way for a really really long time,although soul calibur and dead or alive might have come close.A very great game,simple but fun to play,its a must to your collection plus Jun Kazama is my favourite,shes brutal!!

Anybody who is a fan of fighting games needs to pick this up. This is one of the best Tekken games and really should not be overlooked for 3D fighting games.

Tekken 2 isn't perfect, although it sure comes close. As it stands, it's one of the best fighters available for the PlayStation. If you like fighting games at all, you will love Tekken 2. The graphics and fluent character movement will amaze

Tekken 2 is a good game and a improvement to tekken 1. It had great characters, great graphic and the gameplay was also very good. Of course now its outdated but back then it was a good fighting game.

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).

It's not a game you'd want to be playing now there's superior versions in the form of Tekken 5 (gameplay and graphics) and Tekken Tag 2 (which is coming out very soon and featuring tons of old characters) but Tekken 2 manages to remain a fun fighting game with the great stories, the colourful stages, the incredibly catchy music and the overall feel of it. It's definitely not perfect (when you press a button expect to wait a second before your character actually responds and the AI ranges from too easy to impossible) but it's the best in the series and worth playing for sure.
