Old-school gameplay in 3-D graphics, it's cool.

User Rating: 8.2 | KOF Maximum Impact PS2
I'm more of a street fighter fan, but I got this game from a friend, and I knew KOF was a 2-D fighter with many fans too, so why not?

I'm not gonna write a long review, I'm just gonna give some explanation and the good and bad points.

from 2-D to 3-D: I think they did well in capturing the fast gameplay in 3-D, the moves look good, the characters are like there 2-D counterparts, so it's cool,
the only thing that (I know) they changed is the sidestep, a move that wasn't possible in 2-D, but you won't use it that much, and there are 'stylish moves', actually, there just combo's :p.

positive: Some new characters.
Fun gameplay.
Mission mode: 40 missions.

negative:
Irritating man in the cutscenes between battles, I don't even know why the cutscenes are there.
Cheap endboss.
Missions are quickly completed.

In the end: a fun game, mission mode is ok, multiplayer is cool, with acceptable graphics, but the best part is offcourse the great gameplay.
