Tekken Hybrid is a 2011 fighting game collection released exclusively for the PlayStation 3. It consists of the film Tekken: Blood Vengeance (as a Blu-ray 3D format), with a remastered version of Tekken Tag Tournament and a demo version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 called Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue. Tekken: Blood Vengeance is accessible if the disc is loaded onto any Blu-ray player. Tekken Tag Tournament HD is based on the original PlayStation 2 version and features updated HD visuals, while including trophies.

Gameplay

Gameplay in Tekken Tag Tournament HD was virtually unchanged from the original game, however there was a bump in visual quality as the aspect ratio was changed to fit 16:9, and ran in full 1080p HD, running at 60 frames per second.

Plot

Both Tekken Tag Tournament and its sequel are non-canon entries of the series. Despite this, all of the characters have a real-time ending shown over the credits for the first character chosen when selecting the two fighters. Unknown's ending, however, is an FMV instead.

Characters

All 34 (plus 5 palette swaps) characters from the original game are present in the HD version. However, unlike the original, all of the characters are available from the start, a contrast to characters being locked in the arcades and PlayStation 2 versions of the game. Four characters from the sequel were available in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue.

Release

A limited edition version was released alongside the standard version, which included an art book, selected soundtracks of both Tekken Tag Tournament and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and PlayStation Home content.[1]

Reception

Tekken Hybrid received a mixed critical reception, earning a Metacritic score of 65/100, based on reviews from 51 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[2] While the restoration of the original game was praised, many critics considered the lack of online play to be a missed opportunity. The film was considered lackluster, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Prologue was criticized for its lack of characters.
