Reception
Despite receiving an average of 81% at Game Rankings, Tekken 4 stands as the least critically successful game of the Tekken series. On release, Famitsu magazine scored the PlayStation 2 version of the game a 36 out of 40. Edge reviewed Tekken 4 in their June 2004 issue, awarding six out of ten. The Edge review highlighted Tekken 4's experimental and pretty nature, and that overall it is a more solid and thoughtful proposition than its predecessor, but concluded that the game feels "over-familiar and curiously uninspired."
The game has received two awards:
- E3 2002 Game Critics Awards: Best Fighting Game.
- Nominated for Best Fighting Game of 2002 at GameSpot.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
