i think it is a very good game nice changes, eolith has manged things to make kof 2001 and 2002 different to the other version but they kept the kof series spirit i think it is really good, in both versions they have made sibstantial changes and that´s good, regarding artwork i think hey have improved and the actual ones are good, the sound is good sometimes and sometimes suck, the gameplay is ok except that some moves are harder to make now and some sdm are complicated, all in all i think it is a very good game, oh btw, have you noticed that sdm now take very few energy from the opponent?
