Even PS2 quality overwrote this sad excuse of a game...

User Rating: 5 | The King of Fighters XII PS3
Cut and dry:

Pros
-KOF, after all it is a King of Fighters and that's why I bought it
-Intricate backgrounds, I felt like I was back in an arcade, Awesome!

Cons
-Price, knowing what I know now I wouldn't re-buy this game for twenty dollars. I am upset that I wasted my money
-Character graphics, I thought I was playing PS1, the backgrounds actually looked better than the characters
-Game play, character movements are choppy, almost a sense of lag from controller to screen action

Obviously the developers of this game didn't do their homework. SNK didn't use the PS3 to its potential. I would have liked to see more refined characters and a smoother game play. I was sadly disappointed within the first round. Just did not make sense, who actually allowed this game to go into production and expect it to compete with other game of the sort. Street Fighter 4 mashes this game, Marvel vs. Capcom 1 and 2 mash this game. SNK failed at what could have been an amazing game.

SF4 did it right.
