King Of Fighters 2003 for ps2

[Jeremy]

That info on the decision making is just...tragic, not surprising, just very sad.

There is a remixed soundtrack, but the difference between that and the OG soundtrack isn't very profound- the music is generally dull (SNK really needs to go back to soundtracks like KOF95).

'96 music rules them all.

I'm actually pretty excited for this two-pack. 2002, from what I know, is pretty much '98 part 2, which sounds great to me. '03... well, I really wasn't impressed with the new characters, but I need to give them another chance.

The only sore spot is that this won't be part of the massive SNK online collection.

I enjoyed 2002 alot, and yea, it is a dream match like 98.

Plus the ps2 version adds a new team which is Orochi Iori, Geese, and Goenitz, from SvC. So you got the best of the best from 95-2001 basacially, except for Eiji and Mr. Big, while the fat has been trimmed. Honestly, who ever used The Sports Team except for cheese factor anyways.

2002 is a damn fine game, I really enjoyed the time I spent with the DC version.

No way. Boxer guy - can't remember his name - is awesome.

2002 is 98 with all of the things that made 98 great taken out of it. The only characters who I can say were *improved* upon in that game from 98, were Shermie and Billy. Everyone else was nerfed and/or ruined. When I say everyone, I mean every single character, not just those from 98. Also, lol @ Maxima wire attack cheese.

Seriously, 98 is still the best KOF I've ever played. And the Sports team, while I admit, Lucky and Brian are jobtastic designs, they are both strong characters, especially Lucky.

Heavy D! is in a class of his own, as the single coolest, most unique boxer in 2D fighting games. He is still the only character *ever* in an SNK game who could power up his moves. That, in itself, should have given him a solid spot in the roster forever. He's still incredibly popular now. Though the fact that nobody else could remember his name doesn't really support that...

Exactly what I wanted to say, but couldn't find the words for. I also know Heavy D by name, though honestly I never used him much. There is seriously no reason to play KOF2k2. Least fun KOF ever.

Are you playing the import?

Because you know, KoF 2002 / 2003 double pack comes out in I think a week or two for only 40 bucks...

I don't like my KOF censored.

You must be talking about KOF 2001.

Seriously, 98 is still the best KOF I've ever played. And the Sports team, while I admit, Lucky and Brian are jobtastic designs, they are both strong characters, especially Lucky.

I use the Sports Team, mostly just Lucky, D!, and someone other than Brian in 98'. I played Dream Match last night with someone for a few hours. I saw the completeness and balance, the music, and funfactor, and I wonder why KOF has gone DOWNHILL instead of UPHILL.

I like 2k3, but nothing holds a candle to 94'-99'. We played 2k3 as well....they did a great job with the translation, and it's got old-style KOF team match ups. Great translation.

The best thing about KOF 2003: The Griffin.

SNK's best wrestler ever. They unfortunately changed his 360 moves into Quarter circle moves, though.

I see you are a man of good taste. Tizoc is one of the best grapplers ever. He's so damn fast. Back when 2k3 was first announced I was the most pleased with his space on the roster as I've always wanted him to be in KoF after using him so much in MotW.

He's a great fucking character. I even love his design.
