So I do love the OST and setting of the game, but the sprites look so distracting, it looks like they were copied and pasted onto the game. Nice to see some Garou characters here though. I do like the Quick Shift mechanic though. I wish it was something I see in other KOF games. (Maybe it's in XII but I haven't seen it yet) The gameplay itself is just alright though.

Kind of a weird beast. I really like the roster (Kizuna Encounter?! Buriki One?!) but the game feels very high-execution even for KOF. There's that Playmore-era look where everything's a bit off and drab. But I would love a re-release, I need more Shen Woo in my life.

This game NEEDS a modern rerelease or something. The roster is on par with 2002um. The ost is phenomenal. The only thing holding it back is SNK's lack of awareness of this title, but that goes for alot of the older kof titles.

This game is underrated af, actually one of the best KOFs. Sure, Magaki is a bitch and the menus and backgrounds do not look good, but these are honestly very minor problems. The gameplay is a HUGE step up from 2003, from the physics to being able to actually use the tag mechanic in more creative ways now. Also it has probably one of the best OSTs in the franchise and I really like how some of the endings are linked together.
