Pretty awesome entry into the Tekken series.
The first Tekken that isn't on PS1, graphics looking pretty great and has aged well. and Obviously the selling point is the new "tag" system, which makes matches a 2v2 fight.
One thing I've always loved about tag tournament 1 and 2 is the roster. Both games combine a lot of characters from past games to make a really massive roster that feels expansive. This game features nearly all characters from the first three Tekken games, while adding some new ones like Unknown. Though very sadly Gon and Dr. Bosconovitch are missing. Still though, super cool to see most of the casts of Tekken 1, 2 and 3 all in the same game.
In terms of how this game plays, it plays extremely similar to Tekken 3, which is a good thing as Tekken 3 is my favorite in the series. Though of course there are new combos to do with the tag feature, and some characters have been altered and tweaked. Most notably, characters have different health bars, for example, Heihachi has a smaller health bar than Kazuya. Really weird design choice, but it's not a big deal.
Music is pretty solid, though kinda weak compared to other Tekken games. Maps are diverse and unique and all look pretty cool. I mean again, graphically and aesthetically this game looks great.
I'd consider this or Tekken Tag 2 to be the ultimate party game for Tekken. The game is just pure fun, and the 4 player matches with friends are a blast.
Also this game introduced "Tekken Bowl" to the series so goated.
It's a must play, one of the best in the series I think.
