Editorial Review

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 SNK DC Link Cable. For example, points scored in the companion Dreamcast game King of Fighters 99 can be applied to this NEOGEO game. --Carrie Bell

Pros:

• Numerous female fighters
• Similar to classic fighting games Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat

Cons:

• Limited variation in moves
• Game environment isn't very detailed

King of Fighters R-2 is one of the greatest games out. It has all the action of the latest fighting games without all the blood and gore. It is just simply a great game that you or your child will like.

4.0 out of 5 stars King of Fighters R2, November 26, 1999

I thoug this game is good for a King of fighters game but it didn't have as much SNK flavor as I expected.You should pick up a copy of Samurai Showdown 2! or wait for SNK v.s. CAPCOM, which is going to be the best fighting game for the ngpc!

A great fighting game with fluid animations, smooth controls, a surprisingly good combo system for two buttons, and team strategy that takes a while to master, King of Fighters has always been about choosing your best unbeatable team and kicking the crap out of the other guys. The same holds true here even for a handheld game. If you're looking for a title that will make your Neo Geo Pocket Color worth it, its this one.
