Characters

In addition to the eight returning characters from the first game, new characters are: Pixel, Cancer, Nox, and Eve. [3]

Reception

Critics had claimed that it was not too different from the first game [7] and that it was outdated compared to contemporary fighting video games. [8] British magazine Play criticised the game and asking why Sony would release it so soon after Tekken 3 . [9] German magazine MANiAC, in a retrospective review, called the polygon look and combat "unspectacular". [10]

In Japan, Famitsu gave the game a score of 31 out of 40. [1]

Notes
