Critics had claimed that it was not too different from the first game[7] and that it was outdated compared to contemporary fighting video games.[8] British magazine Play criticised the game and asking why Sony would release it so soon after Tekken 3.[9] German magazine MANiAC, in a retrospective review, called the polygon look and combat "unspectacular".[10]
