Best KOF since '99. Best since the bankruptcy. Best EVER?? Uh... Noooo, but... I would NOT argue with someone who said it was their fav. Backgrounds not full sprite/hand drawn , but are amazing again , backed with the detail TOTALLY missing from the last metal slug release... This is a GREAT game.

First off, I did not get this from Play (paid 5 more!!

Superb: A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage to what is a supreme title.

All in all, it's safe to say that The King of Fighters XIII is a welcome entry in a franchise that a lot of people feared might disappear after lackluster sales and a disappointing title.

I love a good fighting game. It’s in my blood. Pulling off huge combos and mastering a character over the course of hours upon hours is my thing. I always look forward to the newest fighters. Learning the...

+ Fantastic game play & 2D visuals; + Deep customization & very accessible; + Great online play; + Full on story mode; + Just tons of stuff to do

Classic; 2-D gameplay; Beautiful; hand-drawn graphics; Balance changes from arcade version

If it ain't broke, why fix it?  For years, SNK has been attracting brawlers from all over the world with its King of Fighters series, mixing up folks from past and present games (including Athena and the Ikari Warriors!) into one big smorgasbord of projectiles, throws, and super attacks.

It plays a lot like Street Fighter. I would recommend using a Fight stick with this game to get the full potential and experience out of this game. The graphics aren't outstanding but that's the least of your worries with this game as it isn't a walk in the park.
