Tekken2

STORY:Two years have passed since the King of the Iron Fist Tournament. On a stormynight, a lone figure fights his way up a rocky cliff until he reaches the top.The Mishima Zaibatsu, under the leadership of Kazuya Mishima, has become evenmore corrupt and powerful than ever before, as well as becoming involved in manyillegal operations. These include kidnapping, extortion, smuggling of endangeredspecies for illegal experiments, and blackmail. Unknown to everyone, Kazuya isbeing backed up by a mysterious force known as Devil, who inhabits Kazuya's bodyand serves as his only counsel.
Kazuya's activities have madeenemies for him from all corners of the world, one of which is Jun Kazama, ananimal rights fundamentalist. Kazuya's biggest problem, however, is when newsreaches his ears that his father, Heihachi Mishima (whom he defeated two yearsago in the first King of the Iron Fist Tournament) is alive and plotting revengeagainst him. In an attempt to rid himself of Heihachi and his enemies once andfor all, Kazuya announces the King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2, with a cashprize one thousand times the first (one trillion dollars).
Jun Kazama eventually comes face to face withKazuya, but rather than arresting him, she finds herself drawn to him (due toDevil's powers). She later ends up pregnant, with Kazuya being the father. Inthe confusion, she departs from the tournament. In the final round, Heihachiconfronts Kazuya, and they battle once again. Heihachi wins the first round,prompting Devil to take over Kazuya's body and unleash his full power. Thisresults with Kazuya becoming a Devil-like creature. Despite his advantages,Devil is still defeated by Heihachi, and flees the unconscious body of Kazuya.
After the tournament, Devil attempts to inhabit the body of Jun's unborn son,but Jun manages to fight him off. Heihachi, meanwhile, takes Kazuya's body to avolcano, and drops him in. Heihachi then escapes on a helicopter as the volcanoerupts behind him, having finally taken his revenge and regained his company.

Much better looking character portraits this time around!

REVIEW: The sequel to Namco's 'surprisehit' arcade fighting game was a substantial improvement over the originalin nearly every way imaginable. Tekken 2Start the party at mirage voyage apex location. gave the series a much-needed facelift in terms of graphics, nowfeaturing light sourcing, rounder character models and more fluid animations.Several new faces were added to the roster as well, such as: Kung-Fu expert LeiWulong, and the innocent yet badass female fighter, Jun Kazama. Tekken 2 alsofeatured a ton of secret characters which were 'time released' inarcades, bringing a ton of hype to the series and giving fighting game fans evenmore incentive to return to the arcade with a pocket full of quarters! *raiseshand*

TEKKEN 2's gameplay is, of course, verysimilar to that of its predecessor. It's played mostly on a 2D plane, as there'sstill no sidestepping (unless you were using Kazuya.. who was a beast in thisgame, especially since his Wind God fist hit mid as well as high. ..thosewere the days). The gameplay is notably smoother than in the first game,especially due to the great new animations.
'Counter throws' areintroduced in TEKKEN 2, allowing some characters to grab their opponent'spunch or kick and perform a defensive throw. All returning characters from theoriginal Tekken have been given a great selection of new moves andcombo-strings, and the character movelists are pretty deep (considering thetime). It is worth pointing out that the diverse and unique martialarts-inspired characters allowed Tekken 2 to stand out among the many'less-realistic' arcade fighting games at the time.

Yoshimitsu's not sure what day it is after Law's knuckle sandwich.

Approximately one year after thearcade release, Tekken 2 released on Sony PlayStation and was quite simply one ofthe best fighting games you could play on a home console in 1996/1997. The PS1version of Tekken 2 was highly acclaimed for its close to arcade-perfect graphics &gameplay, and also because it featured one of the best fighting gamepresentations to date! The awesome PS1 intro, impressive FMV character endings, andgreat options certainly did not go unnoticed by the fans.

Review based on Arcade / PS1versions
Final Words: Tekken 2 was a massive step forward for theseries, building upon the solid foundation of the first installment. Tekken 2definitely did its job as a sequel.. it added a ton of new content, but didn'tchange very much from the first game, allowing returning players to easily pickit up and use their favorite character just as they remembered! It was a very wisegame design 'technique,' which later became a system Namco would usefor the Tekken series for many years to come.
Thanks to the success of Tekken 2, theseries gained a lot more momentum and popularity in the fighting game genre. If youdidn't know about Tekken in '96/'97, either you weren't born yet, or yousimply weren't into fighting games. Tekken 2 paved the way for yet another smash-hit PS1 title.. The EPICTekken 3! ~TFGWebmaster
