  • Summary: King of Fighers: Maximum Impact is the first KOF title to be designed specifically for the PlayStation 2, rather than being based on any existing SNK arcade version. Maximum Impact features 24 of the most popular KOF characters such as Terry Bogard and Kyo Kusanagi all rendered in 3D. The game also features six brand new characters to the franchise, 4 unlockable characters, and a wide assortment of detailed battlegrounds and fighting maneuvers. [SNK NeoGeo]… Expand

    While it is still a decent game, it is by no means one of the better games within the series. It comes up short in a few places and overall doesn't capture the same level of fun that other games have had.

    Though it does suffer from its own share of balancing issues, chain favoritism, and a welcoming for button mashing newbies, it really grew on me with its high-speed action strong accessibility.

    The game tries to get by riding the coattails of its 10 year legacy, but it doesn't offer enough to compete with the likes of "Soul Calibur 2" or "Virtua Fighter" and has lost any edge it might have had over 2D games like "Guilty Gear."
