Video Game Reviews of King of Fighters Neowave
Customer Review: Still the King
Summary: 4 Stars
Being an old school gamer, I have a soft spot in my heart for the 2d brawlers. The current 3d fighters on the market look incredible, but I've always found them lacking. Perhaps I'm just a sucker for the half-circle/quarter-circle moves.
As you would expect from any KoF game, there's a huge roster here, with many of the SNK favorites to chose from. It seems to me that some of the fighters got a bit of a boost over previous incarnations, and some may have been toned down. Terry's power geyser doesn't look as impressive as it did in other games, and it may just be me, but it seems he has a harder time with some of the cast than he would have in other games. Andy, and Joe on the other hand seem to have gotten a nice boost.
Visually the game doesn't look all that great, when compared to other 2d fighters...namely those from Capcom. The backgrounds do look good. They have a 3d look. But the actual fighters are heavily pixilated. Still despite the appearance, the game is loads of fun, and offers up quite a few different modes to play in.
Thanks to a patch from Microsoft, this game plays on the xbox 360. If you have a 360 or for some reason are still playing on the original xbox, and you're a 2d fighting fan, do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
This game will supply me with my 2d fighting fix, until Street Fighter 4 is released later this year.
