Very Pretty Boring game
User Rating: 6 | The King of Fighters XII PS3
This game was one of my most wanted for awhile as I play(ed) or own pretty much every fighting game that has ever come out. KOF12 is not horrid but a severe letdown based on what they could have done. Make no mistake, the graphics are nice. I undertstand they are hand drawn and it looks the part EXCEPT that they are extremley stiff, Also very nice backgrounds EXCEPT that there are only 5?? I mean the game screams we didnt feel like finishing. Many moves removed from prev KOF games. Of course as we all know, about 30% of the roster is missing. And the tournament offline mode?? A time attack mode with nothing for winning. NOT EVEN A LAST BOSS. Where is Geese Howard or Wolfgang Krauser? Something. Sound is average but ok. This games main problem is just a lack of everything. See Blazblue or SF4 for how to release a Beautiful COMPLETE game with bells, whistles, offline and online playability. This will look pretty to you for the first hour and get old real fast.
