Review - Tekken Tag Tournament 2

The game is about fighting and swapping your characters. You can do huge, powerful hits and you can be against the computer, or another person. You win when you get the other person’s life down twice.

I like it because we can swap our characters. My favourite character is Ogre, because he is big, and because he has got a snake arm. The person I always tag with him is Prototype Jack, because he’s big, and he does some good hits. ‘Tag’ is when you swap your people around in your team.

I also like the way people can make other people appear without even tagging them, because it’s a surprising thing in the game, and you don’t even know who they’re going to be until you see them. Another surprising thing is when you drop through the floor.

You can choose your own background in the game, and the people that you choose can fight in there. There are lots of different backgrounds; one is like a dark cave and there are skulls everywhere. It blends in with the character and I like that. When you’re in the skull cave there is scary music because you’re fighting in a scary place, which is clever. There is also a nice, flowery background, and when you beat that boss, it turns evil, because the boss of this background starts nice, but she turns evil, so the background turns evil too. It’s a teeny bit scary, because real life backgrounds don’t usually change. I like this, and it does need a few scary bits in it.

It is easy to practise on this game, because there is a practise bit where you’re allowed to choose your person and the person you’re fighting against, and you get to choose silly people.

I don’t think there are any bad bits, except that I’d like to know more of the fighting moves.

I give it 10/10.
