Title: The King is Dead
Product review: True story: Like a diamond in the rough, I came across this game--minus its label--on the sidewalk one cloudy day. You can imagine my surprise upon discovering that it was KOF EX, even though I've bought the sequel long beforehand. In retrospect, I made the right choice.Though basically the same as KOF EX2 in terms of graphics and functionality, EX1 is worlds apart from its successor. First, you have a total of 30 fighters to choose from; 2 are unlockable and 10 are only available as 'strikers' that you summon when in a jam. Also, compared to the sequel the inferior music and sound leaves you 'howling' in pain. Special moves seem harder to pull off, all the difficulty settings are easily beaten and the end bosses suffer from SNK Boss Syndrome.I suppose I could keep both games if only for the (slightly) different character rosters. But even that feels like a weak reason to keep this weak portable fighter.This game is rated T for Teen: Violence
