Volume 10 of the Neo Geo Collection arrives and it's a 10th anniversary title: The King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match. King of Fighters returns with a surplus of features to renergize the original KOF dream match. A complete character roster including the 96 Boss Team (Geese, Krauser and Mr. Big), as well as Eiji, Kasumi, Goenitz, and Orochi join the fight. The Advanced and Extra games modes are back as well as a new "Ultimate" mode that allows for customization of the fighters abilities. New moves, new backgrounds, rearranged music, color edit, and online playability make this title a must have.
Brilliant! The best version of my favourite KoF! Lots of options (including altering the sharpness of the visuals for the best looking display on modern TVs), extra characters not in the original and updated backgrounds too - great! Even better, if you don't like all the additions the original game is included on the disc completely untouched too.

The Dream Match of the dream match In a previous review, I've said that KOF XI is the best KOF to date. Well, now I'm forced to change this opinion. KOF'98 UM takes this title, and that's it.
The most incredible cast in any fighting game (and not only KOF), amazing 2D and 3D backgrounds, a more-than-complete soundtrack with arrange option, wonderfull controls. Need more? Color Edit mode, challenging missions, different bosses to fight according to your perfomance. Want to fight some simple vs matches, but don't have nobody to fight with? No problem, fight against CPU.
Take it, and take it NOW. The rest... are just the rest.
