Storyline

A worldwide martial arts tournament was nearing its finale. A large purse of prize money which was to be awarded to the fighter who could defeat Heihachi Mishima in the final round provided incentive for warriors from all over the globe. Financed and sponsored by the giant financial groups, the Mishima Zaibatsu, the first Tekken tournament began with eight fighters, all of whom had emerged victorious in death matches held all over the world, all motivated by different motives, all possessing the skill and power to crumble mountains. Many battles were fought. But only one lone warrior emerged with the right to challenge Heihachi Mishima for the of King of the Iron Fists. This warrior was Kazuya, Heihachi's cold blooded son.

User Reviews

My favorite fighting-game is back!

You might think that it is not worth getting Tekken 2 of you already got the first game, since the sequel has only got 2 new characters, but Tekken 2 is a much better game than the original.

The FMV`s(movie-sequences) is as always a trademark in the series and the FMV is much cooler and more detailed than earlier. The gameplay is much more smooth than ever before, the characters are more detailed and the music and atmosphere is much better.

Tekken 2 has been surpassed by "Tekken 3" and probably by the forthcoming "Tekken Tag Tournament", but Tekken 2 is always worth another go. 10/10
