Less emphasis on graphics and more work on game modes and online play would have been nice! Unlockables needed!

User Rating: 6 | The King of Fighters XII X360

This was a disappointment. They went a little to far with the graphic overhaul and didn't have enough content to make this game one you want to keep playing over and over again.

The characters were too large on screen and there were far too few of them to choose from. Where are the unlockables? No characters or outfits to unlock?
No main boss fight? Every fighting game has that nasty end boss that takes you 20 tries to beat, but not this one.

I tried to go online, but couldn't even get a match started so I can't say anything about online play. I think the online component is pretty much dead.

If you are a KOF fan then wait until this one is in the bargain bin. I couldn't justify paying more than $19.99 for this one.

Maybe KOF Ultimate Dream Match will be the Xbox 360 game to make fans of the series happy. I give it a 6.0 but that is still a failing grade in my book.
