It doesn't feature much melodic development, but definitely works for something to use in battle.Īnother more contemporary style that Tohyama uses is psytrance, having used it in past Tekken games as well as in his solo album Samurai Damacy under his AJURIKA moniker. One of the artist's weaker contributions is 'The Strongest Iron Arena -Silver Mix-,' an arrangement of the music featured in Tekken 4, though I still think it's an improvement over the original it sounds much cleaner and fuses the original's rock focus with electronic elements to yield a thicker musical texture. Surprisingly, the dubstep beats and distortion really work well with the romantic strings work that is introduced in the B section, giving the piece an edgy, yet delicate, atmosphere. It's very intriguing fusion of the increasingly popular dubstep style and classically inspired orchestra. One of the most striking contributions by Tohyama is 'Tekstep Fountain,' used when fighting with the Fontana di Trevi as a backdrop. There's also a long edit of this theme on the second disc that is heavier in sound and features more elaborations that would work wonders in a club.

It's energetic and really gets you ready to fight! The character select theme, 'Aim to Win,' is equally beat-heavy and there is some distorted vocoder thrown into the mix, which foreshadows some of the common bonds for many of the tracks on the soundtrack. It combines a wonderful piano and synth melody with a fantastic trance backing. 'Tekken Tag Tournament Piano Intro -Massive Mix-' is a remix of the intro from Tekken Tag Tournament soundtrack. Lead composer Akitaka Tohyama offers a plethora of styles on this release. Compared to the last major Tekken title, Tekken 6, the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 soundtrack definitely boasts a more contemporary sound combining a variety of styles, including styles that have recently become much more popular in the world of electronic dance music. In addition, Taku Inoue and Go Shiina also offer contributions. Most of the composers for the first game return to reprise their roles, with the exception of Yu Miyake, with Akira Tohyama serving a the sound director and lead composer.

Tekken 4 was such a letdown that Namco really needed to nail it with Tekken 5.Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is the latest in the famous fighting series created by Namco Bandai, and is the long-awaited follow-up to the original tag battle game. Well, they certainly did that as this is one of, if not my favorite fighting game on the PlayStation 2. This for me is one of those rare occasions where the home version of the game is actually better than what its arcade big brother offered. What really grabs you about this game is just how much it “feels” like Tekken. There was something very off and strange about Tekken 4 and thankfully rather than building upon that, Namco went back to what the original trilogy (and to an extent Tekken Tag) so special with Tekken 5. The game plays just like classic Tekken and that is a good thing. Tekken is the kind of game that anyone can jump in, play, and have fun with. It can in many ways be a button masher kind of game. yet there is a real level of skill involved here that if you are willing to put the time into learning makes the game even more fun, especially when playing against another skilled player. Tekken 5 hands down is the best-looking fighting game on the PlayStation 2! This is a series that has always been known for its high-quality presentation and this game takes it to a whole new level.

Never have your favorite characters looked so detailed! I notice it especially in the face and the facial animations! The stages look great too and they are not as over the top with explosions like the arcade version was which I am thankful for. The soundtrack is very fitting and rocks! I love most of the songs here and the voice acting is also very well done. It is all tied together with these awesome CG scenes that are not only very well done, many will also give you a chuckle too. There is no shortage of game modes on offer here. You have your main arcade mode where you can pick your character, beat a bunch of characters, and then the final boss to get the ending. There is also time attack, vs and a new beat-em-up mode called The Devil Within which I thought was a whole lot of fun and very addictive. Tekken 5 also has a bunch of stuff that you can collect so you can customize your characters.
