It’s worthy of being a KoF game, it’s amazingly epic, SNK pulls off 3D with a 2D feel to almost a Rival Schools level. Huge roster, many unlockables, great replay, and a quality competitive fighter
My first impressions from last night: this game is well worth $30, and is an absolute steal at $15.
Gameplay aside, one thing I really like about KoF 2006 is the wealth of 1P options, because let’s face it, not everyone has friends around who play fighting games these days. Between Story, Mission and Survival, there’s just soooo much to do, and every major success (ex: clearing Story Mode) will net you a ton of cool unlockables, such as hidden characters, fighting stages, alternate costume colors and even bonus soundtracks. I can see myself getting lost in this game for hours just trying to unlock everything, which as it just so happens, also provides a nice incentive for actually learning how to play the game.
