Returning Gamer review Sun, 19 Apr 2009

It's been ages since I've had a good brawling game, years in fact. So I was pleased to be able to bang King of Fighters: The Orochi Saga into the Wii for some martial arts mayhem. This is a collection of 5 previous titles from this Franchise. Basically, from around 1994 onwards SNK Playmore released a different version of this game each year, up until 2003. This title comprises five of those versions from 1994 through to 1998.

In a nutshell, this is a 2D 1990's meat and drink fighter. There are various characters each with their own special moves, and you beat each other to a pulp until either players health bar is empty. Pretty simple concept eh? It was a Worldwide success. If it was released tomorrow it would be like burberry to the CHAV community. This genre seriously set the tone for the next generation of beat em ups such as 'Street Fighter' and the fantastic 'Tekken'. This one is playable in 2 player mode or against the Computer. When playing against the computer, a nice touch is that an opponent can jump in at any time. An arcade mode is thrown in with particular challenges that breaks up the monotony should you experience any.
