Wow!\u00a0 They\u2019ve updated some of the sprite based graphics and music, and it still holds up today.<\/p>\n<p>There are a multitude of modes for single player, couch multiplayer, and online.\u00a0 There are single ant team play modes, as well as an endless mode, challenges, and practice.\u00a0 You can also view rankings and go online.\u00a0 Only thing I wish they would\u2019ve had was an art gallery mode, always like those in fighters.\u00a0 Aside from that and a few cheap secret boss fights, I didn\u2019t have much problem with this one.\u00a0 If you\u2019re hankering for some classic sprite based one on one fighting, this one has you covered.\u00a0 Who are your favorite KOF characters?\u00a0 Mine are Ralf and Clark because they\u2019re from Ikari Warriors, but I also like Leona, Shermie, and Vanessa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/kof_screen-5\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20997\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KOF_SCREEN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KOF_SCREEN.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KOF_SCREEN-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/KOF_SCREEN-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match is rated T for Teen.\u00a0 You do punch and kick other fighters and some of the female characters wear revealing and suggestive outfits, but that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Game maker SNK is famous for its fighters, and one of their most popular ones is The King of Fighters.\u00a0 It features characters from other classic SNK titles like Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, and even Ikari Warriors, and it\u2019s a series still around today.\u00a0 While they used to do yearly games, a new KOF [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20998"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21000,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20998\/revisions\/21000"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
