The King of Fighters EX: Neo Blood

"Marvelous must really hate SNK"

I thought ''Hey great the KOF is going to be on GBA'' but did Marvelous drop the ball on this one.

Graphics: 4/10

Sprites look half decent just not enough of them. The frame count is really, really, low. I don't expect a whole lot from but they are really terrible. Compare them to SF 2 and you'll see what GBA can really do. And thanks too these horrible people not only do these crappy looking fighters look bad, they get to fight in front of even worse looking backgrounds. They are really awful, like GBC quality and they have no animation. SF 2 had animated backgrounds and look nowhere near this bad, What's up with that!

Sound: 2/10

The music is really crappy... Okay so the music in KOF 99 sucked too but man do these suck even more so. Ofcourse they took out alot of the voices, so they usually just moan and groan instead of saying the name of the move.

Game Play: 2/10

CRAP!!! I love the king of fighters but this is complete $#@*! The characters move really weird and feel to damn stiff. The only reason I even botherd to beat this game is too see if they left in the enddings (seeing how the sounds and graphics sucked I thought maybe they worked on something else) but nope just text, I guess they couldn't spare a bigger cart for one of the greatest fighters ever.

Replay Value: 2/10

2 because you might want to play it again cause you won't believe how bad it sucks and you will play it and see it really does suck that bad!

Worth Buying?

NO! NO! NO! You think it would be easy enough to port a pretty good KOF too GBA but Marvelous shows unless you actually put some effort in to it, it can not be done.
