Tag team is back. The Tekken Tag Tournament 2 We are Tekken Edition on Xbox 360 packages one of the most ambitious fighting games of the last generation with a collector's set that respects the franchise's musical and visual legacy.

The metalpack case gives the game immediate shelf presence. Standard green 360 cases aged like milk, but a metalpack? That still looks sharp sitting in a lineup. It's the kind of packaging choice that tells you Bandai Namco understood their audience wasn't going to toss this in a drawer.

The real draw here is the audio. You get both the remix soundtrack and the original soundtrack, which means you're holding two distinct takes on Tekken's iconic score. The original tracks carry decades of muscle memory for anyone who grew up timing combos to those beats, and the remixes offer a fresh angle that proves the compositions hold up under reinterpretation. For a fighting game, the music is half the experience, and this edition treats it that way.

The behind-the-scenes DVD pulls back the curtain on the development process, and for a series with as much technical ambition as Tekken Tag 2, that's genuinely interesting viewing. The bound art book, The Art of Tekken, completes the package with a visual history that spans the franchise's evolution from blocky polygons to the fluid character models of TTT2.

This was the 360 era's fighting game scene at its peak. Disc-based, physical extras included, and a community that still showed up at locals to prove their King throw chains. The We are Tekken Edition captures that moment in a tidy, display-worthy package.
