A huge improvement to Tekken 1 both in terms of gameplay and graphics. Currently, I've only played Heihachi's Arcade mode, and he's definitely more enjoyable to play than Kazuya in the first game. This is probably due to the fact that Tekken 2 now has a training mode, allowing me to learn my fucking character's moves before playing the Arcade mode.

The soundtrack is good, and as expected, the story is dumb. Now, with the obvious things out of the way: the game is fun, fair, and I felt much more in control than in Tekken 1. However, my main issue with Tekken 2 lies with the final boss, Devil Kazuya. His model looks horrible, and he loves to spam his stupid laser when he's getting his ass handed to him. The normal Kazuya fight is way more cool. It's a game worth a play if you're interested on the past of the franchise or the past of 3D Fighting games in general, you will have more fun with this than by playing 1 for sure.
