IGN Reviews – King of Fighters XIII Game Review

35 Comments

1. great game too bad the online community is dead

2. hey! great game!

3. I have never had input lag online.
   Also if you know how the vosses work then they aren't all that cheap

4. This game deserves more than a 7, its easily a weak 9 to a strong 8.

5. wish they kept this animated art style for ps4

6. I manage to get the 3 DLC characters,
   this game is still fun.

7. street fighter 5 sux

8. Why so much thumbs-down? I totally agree with review, and I am King of Fighters fanboy who owns almost every game ever released. Still, Capcom vs. SNK 1 and 2 are for me the best fighting games ever but KoF XIII is solid game, I don't like how Street Fighter 4 and 5 gone 3D, so KoF XIII is right up my alley with 2D gameplay and no ridiculous finnishing animations.

9. The author got one thing right: It's the fact that I like the kof storyline better than sf. I noticed that i enjoy reading the kof manga a lot more than sf comics and the other way around for the games. This being the exception. I guess if this game had a weakness it would be the fact that it's unable to contain the personalities of the characters. Kyo just has way too little endurance.

10. Fighting game bosses are cheap by default U twits!

11. lol 7.0 check out the steam version now more like 10/10

12. I don't get all the hate this video gets, it's an objectively based opinion about the game, personally I love this game, Hope someone will give SNK a chance to do justice for this series.

13. again, its snk, obligatory the bosses need to be as cheap as they can, you'll get used to it as crazy as it may sound.

14. I can barely hear the reviewer talking. I'm too busy admiring the awesome fighting game playing in the video.

15. Screw ign there rating sucks
    Kof is the best fighting game I have ever played

16. In my opinion sf is the best

17. …..I dont think this reviewer is all the familiar with the storyline its a conclusion to an arc it makes sense if you know the story from previous games

18. great graphics!? not

19. Here I am trying to find out if the game is fun enough to prioritize getting before sfIV or blazblue, not if the reviewer is salty about sucking against the bosses.

20. kof bosses has always been cheap…

21. is it just me or does kof xiii have smaller characters than in kof xii?

22. I bought KOF XII when it first came out.  It was good, but not great.  This still isn't as good as some of the older ones, but it's great fun, and a huge step forward from the last one.  Got it on the Humble Bundle with some other games for $6.  The artwork is truely amazing.  I can't believe it's 2D.  It looks more like cel shaded 3D.  It's so fluid and colorful.  I even noticed lighting effects on the sprites.  They did an amazing job!

23. The King of Fighters is wayyyyy better than boring ass Street Fighter! Ever since street fighter went 3D it became shit imho! You dont see KOF pulling that sorta crap (except that one time with Maxium Impact and THAT was about it!)

24. Can I play like 2VS2 at the same times?

25. why are they criticizing a fighting game based on ARCADE MODE boss? thats like criticizing an FPS based on its campaign

26. Pretendo adquirir esse game o quanto antes! Long Live to the ARCADES!!

27. Iori I love you

28. In Street Fighter each character has their own storyline.

29. Is it just me, or do these new installments really seem too cluttered with color and effects?  I feel like one normal punch or simple combo gives off these weird colorful explosions, and I find them distracting.  Anyone think so?

30. Shouldve been a 9 and reason its not ten is because of its number of characters to use but it is still a great game kof for life also its waynbette than boring ass steet fighter at least kof has a story line instead of just fighting

31. Damn love this series, hopefully they make another one for next gen.

32. This channel is lame compared to gamespot

33. On line Steam

34. Seth isn't really all that cheap because you abuse the focus attack mechanic.

35. i m a huge kof fan n hv been playing since kof 94. this game has unique fighters and powers and not to forget fantastic bosses….best of them was orochi…this game has improved a lot n its not like those boring same n lame street fighter or mortal kombat games…this game deserves atleast not more or less than 9…9/10
