i finally got my hands on the jap version of KOF 94 rebout for playstation 2, and after an hour of play its one of those good games that u think should have been left alone but the new changes are welcome. i f u r a 2-d fighter fan or just a fan of the series i recommend picking it up just for comparison reasons. the sprites have been completly smoothed over , no more clunky looking characters or backgrounds. the backgrounds are totally redone in 3-D some are excellent others are what the hell were they thinking, the new anime intro is very good a welcome change from the original. the gameplay is the same as before a mid range combo system with compicated SDM that make u curse alot, or at least they did me cuz its been a while since i played a KOF game. all in all it was a pretty good game kept me entertained the whole hour and the AI aint no punk beotch either cheap and cheesy like it is in most KOF games. I do miss th old intros to the matches from the old version but the online mode made up for it !!!so it is with a clear mind i give this game a 3 out of 5.
