Editorial Review
Following in the footsteps of classic fighting games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, King Of Fighters: R-2 assembles a gang of fighters who kick, punch, jump, guard, and "special move" their way to the top. Although this game doesn't have as many moves as most fighting games for home consoles, it does contain an unusually large selection of female fighters to choose from, making equal opportunity supporters happy. And these gaming gals can sure hold their own. To prove that women warriors truly rock, look no further than Shermie. Her cartwheel kick is just as powerful and devastating as that of the magic-wielding male fighter Saisyu.

King of Fighters: R-2 enables you to equip each character with up to two original moves, swap signature skills, or create a new character from scratch. The characters all benefit from a sassy and competitive nature that comes out in both pre- and post-tournaments.

This game allows you to choose between fighting the computer as a team or as a single character to advance up the ranks with every triumphant battle. In addition, this game contains special features that can be unlocked only when connected to the Sega Dreamcast console via the SNK DC Link Cable. For example, points scored in the companion Dreamcast game King of Fighters 99 can be applied to this NEOGEO game. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

  • Numerous female fighters
  • Similar to classic fighting games Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat
Cons:
  • Limited variation in moves
  • Game environment isn't very detailed

5 out of 5 stars Too bad they don't make this one anymore...   October 3, 2000
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I have to say that this game looked really cool when it came out. It had everything you could possibly want, good graphics, lots of characters, and cool moves. But now, I just heard that they don't make this game for Neogeo anymore. (neither the neogeo itself) I would advise buying this game before it gets sold out, or you'll never see it again.


4 out of 5 stars Ready to Rumble!   April 1, 2000
This is why I bought a NEO-GEO pocket in the first place. The fighting games... and this one doesn't dissapoint. I found myself slammin and bangin all over town... when I should have done been doing something else. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of characters. Anyone whose played Match of the Millennium knows that the cart is capable of so many more. But for a cheaper alternative to MotM this is the ONE!

4 out of 5 stars Not as good as Samurai Showdown IMO   January 3, 2000
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I got this game as well as Samurai Showdown 2 pretty close together. I had fun with this game and it was great fun but I wasn't hooked even with all the different modes of play. This is probably more critical because I am comparing it to SS2 but this is just my humble opinion. Now if I feel like playing a fighting game I would choose SS2 over this.

King of Fighters R-2 is one of the greatest games out. It has all the action of the latest fighting games without all the blood and gore. It is just simply a great game that you or your child will like.
