King of Fighters '99
King of Fighters '99 is a year or two late, but still a fine specimen of a fighting game. The home version tries to spice up the standard three-on-three-plus-strikers formula from the arcade version by adding a Single play mode. Two fighters-one active, one a striker-fight their way through the rest of the cast in an old school best-of-three brawl. The mode simply doesn't fit in the King of Fighters series, though, and is more of a novelty than a game mode. The sounds and animations of the Neo Geo were apparently too much for the PlayStation to handle, and the quality is significantly lower. Load times also bog down the PlayStation version, making an excellent arcade fighting game a PSX rental, at best. Hardcore fans should note it includes an art gallery and color edit mode which are really nice bonuses for SNK die-hards.
DEFECTS
Some frames of animation are removed, but otherwise the rapidly aging King of Fighters look remains intact.
The music is so bad you'll remove it from your memory, while the voices sound like they were recorded in a tin can during flu season.
The KoF series has never failed to deliver pinpoint control, though the PlayStation controller isn't quite up to the task of duplicating the arcade.
KoF '99 retains all the fighting fun of the previous years, though the load times will wear at your patience and make you long for the Dreamcast version.
