Preview: King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 (PS2)
Following the successful introduction of the KOF franchise to 3D, SNK will take the series to new heights with the next instalment – King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2
This time, produced by the acclaimed SNK artist and designer, Falcoon – KOFMI2 has built upon and enhanced the frantic gameplay of the original, as well as adding a number of new and exciting features.
The character roster has been ramped up to 24 characters now selectable from the start, but there are many new hidden characters waiting to be found, including some fan favourites making a surprise return.
The Fighting system has also been reworked. The familiar control from the first game has been improved, and with the new additions of SUPER CANCEL and COUNTERSTRIKE, KOFMI2 will offer a new and truly rounded fighting experience.
Along with the completely redesigned Graphics and enhanced game mechanics, KOFMI2 also offers many varied modes to keep the player coming back for more, by awarding many hidden items for those who can complete the challenges.
‘King of Fighters in 3D should be enough to get any fighting fan excited’ says Peter Rollinson, Product Manager, Ignition Entertainment ‘KOFMI2 has it all, fantastic graphics, tight control method and many new unlockables and modes to keep any fighting fan happy’
King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 features:
• 24 initially selectable characters, with many more unlockable throughout the game including some surprise appearances - Billy Kane anyone?
• New and Improved fighting system, now allows the ability to ‘Block and Parry’ your opponents attacks
• Experience a whole new look with redesigned, highly detailed characters and levels
• Lots of unlockable extras, including new character costumes, levels and mini games
• Get right into the action with the ‘Free camera’ mode which allows gameplay to be stopped at anytime and then viewed from any angle.
• Four exciting modes of play, including: STORY, VERSUS, CHALLENGE and PRACTICE
The graphics and sound are excellent by the standards of a third-party Wii game.
Although Heavy Rain is entertaining from the start, there are several flaws that hamper the enjoyment.
A very endearing entry in the series, and another that is well worth checking out.
The first thing you notice when you get this guide in your hands is the quality.
The control gripes aside, Aliens vs Predator is a good game.
Another great competition.
