Take heed of where you make your purchase and you may get the bonus 4 disc soundtrack from the entire series. If you are a KOF fan, you will love this game. The game’s content promote its high replay value for fans and achievement hunters alike. The game’s presentation and soundtrack is nothing less than enjoyable. With so many fighting games at least making an attempt at fairness, this just made me scratch my head.Īll in all, whether it was the sigh of relief since the “game sampler” that was KOF XII, or the fact that this is a good, complete and solid fighting game, I definitely enjoyed this game.
At one match you could be fighting someone that just learned how to turn on their television and in the very next, face someone with a 105 – 2 record. However it does a terrible job at matching you up with someone at your skill level. Online fights for the most part flow seamlessly. The ranked match-ups do a great job at pairing you up with someone that has an almost-perfect connection with you. You can also go in deeper than just the Arcade quick story and go right into Story mode – the mode created to give you, well, the game’s story. In the meantime, you get a taste of why Ash Crimson is important in the overall story. The story goes as usual, someone important hosts a tournament while some sinister occurrence is festering up in the background, waiting to present you with a super-boss character orchestrated to induce the kind of profanity out of you that you may or may not have known you were capable of. (Yes, the previous game had seemingly no story at all.) Characters in arcade mode carry out unique dialogue with their opponents depending on the match-ups. One of the notable additions is the existence of a plot, in both the story mode and arcade. If this is all Greek to you, the game has a decent tutorial mode to explain it all. Last but not least, they brought back the series-popular, pleasantly-exaggerated, and screen-filling NEO MAX moves! Take 2 power gauge bars and an active Hyper Drive mode, and your character will once again perform the one move your opponent should never be around for. There is also a new Hyper Drive gauge that fills up as moves connect, which one can use to perform multiple move cancels to create big combos for a limited period of time. The game re-introduces the EX Special Move, which uses up a power gauge bar to enhance or exaggerate the effects of a standard special move. You can choose between 1vs1 and the 3vs3 KOF standard. The fighting engine still carries all of the rudiments of the series: special moves and supers. SNK Playmore got it right this time around. Also the game’s overall fighting engine was tweaked for the better. The roster was strengthened by the some more popular characters from the series, such as Mai Shiranui and K. The game is still the traditional 2D fighter and has the unique and interesting artwork from the previous game. The game immediately shows you the depth that was missing in its predecessor with an assortment of modes. The effort was quite apparent with King of Fighters XIII.
