Introduction
This game is the same exact game as Tekken Tag but it has more modes and fewer characters. This is an awsome game, no wonder they came out with it on all 2 top console such as Play Station 2, and Game Cube but with Zelda instead of Heihachi from the Tekken Series. I've haven't heard of Soul Calibur 1 so they must have start out with 2 so don't try looking for the previous version.

Game Play - 8/10
Same fighting style like Tekken allowing tag team as well. But it uses weapons like swords num-chucks and other Asian weaponary from the past. It also has this short RPG modes which is very fun and a bit challenging making you earn money and buy and gain weapons. Very nice background and i especially like the new added feature ring out. You can't get boss which is a negative but it features 3 stages of boss which is new to the fighting game industry.

Graphics - 9/10
This game has more of a Japanese anime grpahics which is totally different from Tekken series like tag and 4. But still very good, because it's more of a traditional martial arts game. It also has movie endings like Tekken and best of all, character profiles like on old scripts and scrolls.

Sound - 8/10
Very nice music but no music box like Tekken tag. It features Japanese and English voices which is awsome.

Final Report - 8/10
Very well done game. I suggest getting this and Tekken 4 so you have both of them. They are both in different catagories and style. Also, this is a much better version of Tag besides the fact that it's more of a weapons fighting game than using your body parts but the best part is that they have veyr good combo special moves.
