Let me just say this, you are not gonna see me badmouthing games on here too many times but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck then I gotta tell it like it is. I finally got my copy of KOF XII and you get definitely do not get what you paid for. The first thing I noticed when I played the game this morning were the not so eye-popping graphics. In my book the graphics reel you in, the game play e

ases you into a state of stimulation, and the story holds you down for the entire ride. 2 out of 3 were not in this game. Game had looked as if it was ported from the Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis. The characters looked unfinished. You can still see the sprites that outline them. They have blocky edges which is annoying to see. The game is pretty simplistic. The object is to beat the game with your fighters in a record amount of time. That's it, that's all folks. So I played with my favorite characters Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, and Joe Higashi and finished the game a little over 8 minutes. I even got a achievement for my time being slow on the Xbox 360. I can't believe 8 minutes is slow in a fighting game. I think it takes maybe 35 to 40 minutes tops to finish a Street Fighter game playing only one round matches. And that's if your really good at playing the game. Most of the achievements are online based. There are about 4 or 5 based on finishing the game in a timely fashion. The characters are pretty much the same as far as playability is concerned. I was able to use Terry Bogard, my favorite player, the same with ease just as I would in any other KOF game. They even took out the character banter between the fighters. There were no beefs

and no after statement for when a fighter wins a match. Nothing but cheesy match commentary. I don't know why they do that. Poorly played out dialog scripts. It just sounds so fake to me. Why bother putting it in? After you beat the game that's it. There's not really a lot of key elements in the game. They made it as straight forward as possible which is to finish the game in record time. If your time is good enough it get's posted online. I think my quickest time in a match was 1 minute and 16 seconds. Talk about fast huh? You can't do that in a Street Fighter game. Save your money people this game is not worth playing. I was done with the game when I saw the graphics. Stick to Street Fighter 4 for now. Or if you want buy it because you love the KOF series. As for me, I'm going to play the other KOF games like KOF 94-2002. Those are still fun to play to me.
