Tekken Tag Tournament is most accurately described as a 2.5-D fighter, with the backgrounds and characters modeled in 3D, but keeping the fighting limited to face-to-face on a 2-D plane. The ".5" comes into play as the characters are able to dodge into and out of the foreground and background. There are 34 characters total to pick from, with 20 being initially accessible. What makes Tekken Tag different from its predecessors is (obviously) the brand-new Tag feature. Instead of the traditional solo matches, the main event here is a two-on-two battle structure with a match ending when one player on any team is knocked out. Teamwork is essential. If you grow tired of tagging, the game also features the original one-on-one option as well as the standard Vs, Survival, Team, Time Attack and Practice. A superb new feature is Pair Play, where two people can be on the same team for up to four live players battling in a real tag match. Oh, and for something utterly new to the series, there's also Bowling. Yes, bowling.
