Critics had claimed that it was not too different from the first game and that it was outdated compared to contemporary fighting video games.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

In Japan, Famitsu gave the game a score of 31 out of 40.
