 The game is good, there's only one problem... December 25, 2007

The game is good, the fighting style has never been better. The problem is I have no one to fight but me myself and I or if I go stalk a King of Fighter's enthusiast since there are so many fighters out now days, its difficult without online play to find people good in your fighting game of choice and playing the computer gets borring real fast- but you already knew that. Don't buy fighting games unless you got a bunch of buddies playing the same one or its online- that's why I'm having a blast playing online foes in Mortal Kombat DS even though technically, this game is way superior.
If this is your first SNK fighting game... October 21, 2008

I'm a long time Street Fighter veteran, going back to SF1 when you played Ryu on the left side, Ken on the right and your final boss was a very large, unscarred Sagat. Aside from the occasional dabble with Fatal Fury, I have not really played very many SNK fighting games. After completely falling in love with Capcom vs SNK, I decided I wanted to try my hand at the KoF series.
This is easily one of the best 2-D fighting games that I've played. The ridiculous number of characters rivals CAPvsSNK, including a number of characters that I recognized from that game. I appreciated how similar the mechanics were to what I was used to while being inventive when needed to create something new and surprising. The controls are definitely on point, and for a lot of the characters, a challenge to get out some of their more powerful moves. If you're playing alone, the final boss is going to test your anger management skills, and once you unlock him as a playable character, mastering him will make you the most hated person in the gaming world.
Besides the opening roster, there are at least that many characters that are unlockable. This is achieved through a combination of playing the game straight through with the various teams and characters, and going through the missions; characters are unlocked as rewards for completing your missions.
My favorite aspect of this game, however, is that it's great for parties. Huge amounts of characters means people can sit and play and not get too bored, as there's always going to be something new to explore.
If you're a fan of 2-D fighting games, I recommend this one. You will burn hours upon hours on it easily.

The King Of Fighters XI: Over View December 18, 2007
Sam Sos (St.Paul, MN USA)
Another great 2D chapter from SnkPlaymore.
Simply one of great top notch game to play if your a fan of old school 2D
action fighting.
The background stages is marvelous this time around in terms of graphics. The tag team system is awsome in battles,switching between characters at your pace for tag play is the best formula SnkPlaymore has created for team matches.
With characters from recent instalments like "Mark of The Wolves", this
game will give you an excelent roaster to choose from as well as unlockable hidden characters.
All in all, a sure fire hit blckbuster to your Snk library games.Awsome.
The Best KOF in Years December 23, 2007
P. G. Keller
Street Fighter was no longer the undisputed king of the hill when SNK married Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting (a great idea) into KOF. KOF really hit it's stride in '94-'95 and those editions are still highly regarded as some of the best for 2D fighting. I've always liked this series, and have followed and played it steadily ever since. The last KOF games I played were the 2002/2003 editions and they just didn't feel right. The gameplay felt stiff, a little slow and as if KOF was starting to really show it's age. And basically, the only way fighting fans have been able to overlook SNK's sprite based graphics is the killer gameplay, and after just receiving KOF XI, I have to say that KOF is back and better than ever.
The gameplay is fast and smooth. The controls are accurate and the combos are fairly easy to pull off because of it. The backgrounds are very nicely drawn and look better than they have in years. But again, we still have the sprite based characters. Now I like SNK's art style but it really is time for an upgrade for the characters. They look almost out of place in front of the smooth backgrounds, especially when they're standing still. Fortunately, when you get playing, you don't notice it alot and they seem to look alot better when they're moving. The soundtrack sounds great. As if they're using real instruments. The stages are varied and interesting to look at, with nice music pieces to accomodate them.
Also on the plus side, there is a nice option to help the screen size and graphics clarity in the options menu. SNK also included this option in their recently released NeoGeo Coliseum (which I also like alot). This is a nice feature, especially for those of us who are playing on lcd tv's. As those of us know by now that PS2 games can look like crapola on them. But I found this feature to help with that some. Another bonus is that Duck King has returned and he's never been so much fun to use, and Mai Shiranui IS in this game. When I started playing, I saw that she wasn't in the character selection and I was thinking, what the hell? How can you have a KOF game without Mai? But on the back of the box, she is listed along with Tung Fu Rue and EX Kyo Kusanagi. They unlock but I'm not sure how yet, which brings me to some negatives.
The boss Magaki is really cheap and will really test your patience. He just stands back most of the time and throws all kids of projectiles at you, then unloads with a super long special. It's hard to get in close to even get a hit on him. I also don't like the fact that when you lose, you go to the name input screen, then the countdown continue screen, then back to the character selection screen, just to keep going and pick up where you left off. That's pretty annoying. I also have to add the lack of a graphical upgrade for the characters as a negative. C'mon SNK, it's time already, Guilty Gear and Street Fighter have shown you the way. OH, and I should also mention that Andy Bogard, Joe Higashi, the little Freddy Kruger dude and the big guy with the ball and chain (I don't know those 2 guys names obviously)are missing from this edition.
Overall though, the gameplay is very satisfying and SNK has injected new life into the series with KOF XI. The single player is ok, but everyone knows that fighting games shine in 2 player and this ones no different. If your new to the series, this is a great place to start. For those of you already fans, you'll really enjoy this one as the game seems to feel almost fresh again.
