This game was simply amazing for a playstation fighting game! They had quite the variety of characters. Nice costumes. Good graphics for a PSX. And interesting story/good CG movies. Also, it was awesome how the characters would appear to get hurt when hit hard by an attack. For example a certain move (jab hit) made one character hold their stomach and fall in pain to the floor but it was slow and a little realistic. That was good for a playstation.
The most awesome thing was their Tekken Force Mode. It was unique and fun! If only they kept it for other tekken games.
