    This game needs to become a freakin' movie. It's gameplay is amazing, and the very unique charcacters and their fighting styles are a plus for this game as well.

    Good storyline, and plenty of characters, plus great music.

    It's a good game, only one unlockable character though(Krizalid), has great music but lacks in the graphics. Also I wished that the loading between teams was a bit faster. I hate waiting on a load screen when im on fire!

    I rate this game with a ten because it's an excellent game, the story, the music, character's story, and backgrounds, but, the boss is not so good and there's no challenger like in other kof games and kyo and iori are secret characters.

    Good God, you've got a whole lot of fighters with new play mechanics. I know some KOF purists hate the Striker system, but I like it lots.
  2. Unfortunately, KoF Evolution is a flawless port of an inherently disappointing game, which is why, through no fault of its own, it's otherwise difficult to recommend it over the previous game in the series.
  3. With dated graphics, no unlockable characters, and a "revolutionary" fighting engine that was new in the 20th century, there's no doubt that this game simply, is the Court Jester of Fighters.
