Gamertell has posted a mixed review of Ignition's fighting game, The King of Fighters XII.
From the review:
"The game looks absolutely stunning, from the newly drawn sprites and extravagant environments. And, as long as you're not playing over the internet, the multiplayer is a lot of fun as well. The character roster is much, much smaller than we're used to, but KOF fans could see that as an opportunity to learn how to utilize every character in the game. Besides, Ignition has suggested that additional characters could be released as DLC.
Overall, I'd recommend King of Fighters XII to fighting enthusiast friends, especially if they don't play games online and just enjoy offline fights and multiplayer. If the online multiplayer is a crucial feature for you, then I'd say wait on purchasing the game for a few weeks or month, until Ignition and SNK release a permanent fix."
GameDynamo - "Fighting games have enjoyed a period of spectacular growth after being a nearly nonexistent genre for so many years prior. Because of this sudden growth, we're seeing a lot of companies taking different approaches to the traditional fighting game formula that has stood since Street Fighter II first came onto the scene."
Star Trek Online developer Cryptic has ruled out the possibility of it releasing a sequel to the game in future years - telling CVG it would rather constantly update its existing MMO.
I'm glad they aren't going to make a sequel. The current game is unfinished and flawed, they need to fix that first.
A sequel is the last thing people are thinking about right now, it's an online game! You don't need a sequel, you can just keep building the game and change the story arc for as long as you want.
The Start Screen reviews King Of Fighters XII for the PS3. They cover how far fighting games have come and with the showing that SNK Playmore's KOF XII, how far we need to go. The game was seemingly released incomplete with an time trial for an Arcade Mode and a seemingly broken online mode. Did the 772 MB patch help?
