    It's a great game but King of Fighters Neowave needs you to invest in alternative control scheme more than any other PS2 fighter to date. Do that and you've got a brilliant fighting game. [Issue 143, p.96]

    The 'hardcore' tag can't excuse this. Even fans of King of Fighters will feel short-changed. [Nov 2006, p.68]
