The GameDaily One-Minute Review

Forget about 3-D fighting games and dive into old school 2-D brawling with King of Fighters XI. Even though the graphics are primitive by today's standards, the gameplay is just as kinetic as ever. The player switch-out system, similar to Capcom's Versus games, works smoothly. There are plenty of fighters to choose from as well, with over forty-five available. The bosses are somewhat cheap in single-player mode, but the game has multiplayer appeal to spare – and for $20, no less. If you love 2-D fighting, pay your respects to the King.
