Overall, KoF 2K is only an above average effort when compared to KoF '99, but still worth checking out. The backgrounds, while more numerous, lack the color and character of last year's KoF. Controls are typically good for KoF, except for some of the Supers and Desperations, which can be tricky to pull off correctly.
New characters fall in the categories of good, OK, and ugly.
Maybe with time and practice, some characters may be more interesting, but as they stand, some of them seem average and uninspired. Every year there's a lot of new games released onto the market to choose from. From not well known games to epic classics of games history - and one game since 1994 has been implementing innovations every year and changing gaming history. A new King of is released, but what makes it different from the others fighting games on the market these days is that it isn t 3D, but 2D but still has some of the nicest 2D graphics ever. This game starts from the end of the KoF 99 history, after Krizalid s death and Nest plans destruction, so we are going to see what's next for K' and his partners.
