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 . For example, points scored in the companion Dreamcast game can be applied to this NEOGEO game. --Carrie Bell
