Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
76 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
After years of wandering in the wilderness (Tekken 6 was a mess, Tag 2 was bloated), Namco made a game that understood what made Tekken work: fast-paced, frame-data-dependent gameplay where positioning and timing matter more than mashing buttons.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's an upgrade in mere horsepower going from Tag 2 to 7 that is on par for the course when a game jumps generations, with better particle effects and a higher resolution on the textures, but that's where it ends.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If it's a really short story line and I never play multiplayer, I will still be very happy with this in my library.
