Simply put, this game kicks ass.
User Rating: 8.8 | The King of Fighters 02/03 PS2
Both these games are great and make buying the collection worth spending what it's priced at, as they, surprisingly, present different gameplay experiences, both great and stick to the basics of the originals. Sure, the graphics haven't changed much from the previous installments, but the fluid, solid, and fun gameplay mechanics have remained in tact, with a few changes, especially for '03 with the addition of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 style 3 on 3 tag team fighting system, which is really fast paced and responsive. The character selection for both games is huge, although '03 has a few less characters than '02, both hold more than 40 total, something much expected from the KOF games. The sound effects are recycled form the previous games, which is a little dissapointing, a few new sounds for the special moves would have been greatly appreciated, but still nothing to fret over. This game is fast paced, fluid, and most importantly fun. Fans of the franchise will love it, and general fighting game fans will have a solid fighting experiecne, as both will find it hard to put the controller down.
