[8.5/10] "Tekken 4 does exactly what it says on the tin, it's extremely solid, long lasting, accessible, and is a 'fun to play' fighting game that comes with a real pedigree." Also includes screenshots and character images.
Electric Playground Review
[8.5/10] "There is certainly no danger of Tekken fans, or fight-game fans in general being disappointed by the great, glossy, fast-paced brawler that Tekken 4 is."
GamePro Review
Reviewed by Yokyo Drifter. "The series could use a bit more depth and original features, but its pedigree as a top-ranked fighter remains intact."

[8.5/10] Reviewed by Louis Bedigian. "One of the best multiplayer games you'll find on the PS2. I loved it at the arcade and I love it at home. I just wish it was a new experience."
IGN Review
[9.0/10] Reviewed by Jeremy Dunham. "Mechanically superior and definitely oriented to the expert crowd, Namco's brand of four-limbed combat is comparable to just about anything out there."
NetJak Review
[7.1/10] "I have to say that I personally liked this better than 'VF4,' but they were both a bit disappointing overall."
PlanetPS2 Review
[71/100] Reviewed by Benjamin Turner. "It looks a little better, but underneath the new trappings lies the same old game."
PSX Nation Review
[8/10] Reviewed by Brian Shroom Gray. "STILL a force to be reckoned with, it's just not the must have game of the year it has been in the past. Namco needs to focus heavily on "Soul Calibur 2" for a while and let Tekken take a vacation."
PSX2 Review
[8.7/10] "Not as groundbreaking as it should have been. It may be hard to admit, but "Virtua Fighter 4" has taken a giant leap compared to Tekken 4's bunny hop. But now that Namco has hit the nail on the head when it comes to fighting depth and detail, it is time for change."
TechTV Review
[3/5] "Fulfills bare minimum expectations of the typical fighting game sequel. It delivers more of the same with slight tweaks in the character roster."
Total Games Review
[91%] Reviewed by Simon Cann. "Granted, it doesn't do anything exceptionally groundbreaking, but what exactly do you expect from a game with a 4 at the end of its title? Surely not originality?"
