The King of Fighters XII

Got this game during the member's club discount and have to say this is one is a step down from previous KOF. The roster is so much smaller now like it's 94 all over again. But as a game itself it's still decent enough to keep me coming back and try out everyone in the roster.

It sucks:

- one special move by character
- around 10 or 12 charatcers only
- no boss
- not as beautiful as I expected
- played it 15 min and sold it....

Just don't buy it and wait for the next ones.

The netcode is so poor in this game. The offline gameplay I don't mind, however the lack of online comp and support has hurt this title a lot.

Yet another entry into the KOF series, and not a lot has changed. The HD graphic re-vamp is wholly underwhelming when to compared to games like SF4, although the trademark fluid animation is still there. Some potential drawbacks are the severely limited character roster and many removed/changed skill sets. One major failboating incident is the broken online play.

first will get the good points out of the way

it looks great and the core gameplay is fun enough

but the bad points does not feel in depth enough compared to XI has a fraction the amount of characters and backgrounds and it really feels unfinished no proper story mode and loads of annoying little things like not been able to Change characters while in training (have to quit the training mode to re selecT)

if its cheap though would recomend it
