    Then again this likely doesn’t matter to anyone interested in this game. The King of Fighters fans out there are going to run for the game regardless of how it looks or sounds so long as it plays just fine. Nobody is going to be converted to this game series by this entry, it doesn’t offer anything phenomenal to gamers. With games such as Virtua Fighter 5 going online, Soul Calibur is as fun as ever and Tekken 5 introducing some new, interesting characters this game d... Read more

    Forget about 3-D fighting games and dive into old school 2-D brawling with King of Fighters XI. Even though the graphics are primitive by today's standards, the gameplay is just as kinetic as ever. The player switch-out system, similar to Capcom's Versus games, works smoothly. There are plenty of fighters to choose from as well, with over forty-five available. The bosses are somewhat cheap in single-player mode, but the game has multiplayer appeal to spare – and for $...

    Sure, the game’s far from perfect.  Still, it’s one of best fighting games ever to grace the PS2, and for only 20 bucks, it’s about the best deal in gaming today.  Pick it up, have some buddies over, and remember the fun a well-made 2D fighter can deliver. Read more

    KOF XI brings together some decent extras in the form of additional play modes and unlockable art galleries, a unique twist with the shift system, and a surprisingly good single-player experience. Each of these elements is a good addition, but taken together with a fighting game that offers solid, fast-paced gameplay and a huge roster of interesting and well-balanced playable characters, you get a very compelling package for any players who consider themselves to be 2...

    Closing Comments The King of Fighters XI is fun, complex and has a ton of characters to try out, with only a handful of them requiring an unlock. At only about $20, it's hard not to recommend this to fighting game enthusiasts. While it doesn't bring anything new to the table, and its visuals fail to impress, the fast-paced tag-team battles and old-school challenge make this a title to look out for. Casual gamers beware: this is a game with an absurd amount of informat... Read more

    I'm a HUGE king of fighters fan and this latest installment is awesome. There are 4 new fighters (oswald is my personal favorite), new moves to master, touched up special effects, all new backgrounds that look really sharp and fantastic, and the gameplay is alot faster then previous king of fighters, not to mention that it just came out and its only $15 brand new! $15!!!! If your a king of fighters fan or just a fighting fan in general DO NOT let this game slip by. Th... Read more
