Upon his death, Jin’s body is reanimated in the form of a devil and flees the scene. However, all of this is rendered moot when Jin is shot and killed by Heihachi. However, after Paul’s departure, Ogre is revived in his true form and subsequently defeated by Jin (thus making Jin the official winner). In the Tekken canon, Paul defeats Ogre and seemingly wins the third tournament. (Note, the following paragraphs assumes you are already familiar with many of the events and characters of the previous game.) Tekken 4 takes place two years after the events of the third game.

Assuming you have a working PS2 (and many of us still do), obtaining a copy of the game will require a bit of effort as well. That’s right, Tekken 4 was a PS2 exclusive and at the time of this writing, it’s never been released digitally on any other platform. You’re going to need an actual Playstation 2. If you’re like me, and you’ve decided to sink your teeth into this game for the first time, there’s something you should know right up front.

It’s been well over a year since I posted my review for Tekken 3 (a game that actually earned a perfect score from me). Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, and of course, Tekken. Over the years I’ve covered a number of classic brawler titles. A genre that just never goes out of style.
