Visually dated, but they are arguably two of the deepest 2D fighters that SNK has ever released.
These games will remain as the last examples of one of the longest-running 2D fighting game series ever created, and fine examples at that.
A fantastic distillation of the series' classic gameplay and KOF 2003 does a wonderful job of trying to update the formula without breaking things too much, but this is after all a classic collection, and should be taken as such.
King of Fighters 2003 is a step in the right direction and the inclusion of King of Fighters 2002 kind of sweetens the deal, though I’d say it soils an otherwise slightly above average fighting game compilation.
It’s a nice change of pace and fights feel very nice now, but the super bosses are still impossible.
But no matter how many features they throw at it, there's little doubt that KOF is ready for the knacker's yard. [Mar 2006, p.106]
