Amazing graphics for its day, great developers, how much better could we get?
User Rating: 9.4 | Killer Instinct ARC
Theres no enough to be said about this game, the first time I saw it was in '94 when it came out. I was completely amazed, this was the days of MK and MK2, and this game blew me away. The graphics were one of a kind then, nothing i'd seen could match it. It had short videos, something that was RARE in those days. Speaking of Rare, this was one of the first times I heard of the company who made revolutionary graphics as seen on this game and Donkey Kong Country for SNES. Unfortunatly, the SNES port of the arcade couldnt match up, it was sluggish, goofy, nothing like this arcade. The sound was amazing with the DCS system, and on the dedicated cabinet with its great speakers every blow could be heard with a loud thump. The combo system was like no other, long drawn out combos beautifuly done, none of that streetfighter cartoonish ones. This game was underrated, not popular enough and just didnt get its respect.
