King of Fighters: Maximum Impact Game Sample - Playstation 2

Original Air Date: August 05th, 2009

This is basically the same as the Xbox KoF:MIM but with slightly blockier visuals, several nuances in the game system and without online play. Feels kinda basic compared to KoF2006. Pretty cool game I guess, but KoF2006 is superior.

I used Alba Meira in this video, and I'm kinda shocked at just how improved most of the characters are in 2006; He is no exception. I kept trying to do his level 3 super move...only to realize that he didn't have it yet. Not only that, but he is lacking a few essential stylish moves and other attacks. For example, his "pummel" throw where he beats you up then throws you away with his leg...he could instead use his foot to stomp you to the floor beneath him. It doesn't sound that important, but you can then cancel and effectively hit them with his conquering lightning attack, since he didn't throw the opponent like ten yards across the screen...ARGH! He also can't throw three waves, although I did think that addition was a bit much... he's not Shin Akuma or anything.

Anyway, like I said for Rock Howard in the Xbox video I made, he too is (less) controlled rage. If I had a third choice, I would've used Chae Lim or Terry Bogard...speaking of Terry, it's ridiculous how much better he is in 2006, I kid you not. Enjoy.

The first 3D game in the long-running King of Fighters series... Man, that announcer does seem stoned; it's soooo Engrish, much like in about every KOF game.

Same here, I mean it's like the coolest intro I'v ever heard and this guy screws it up.

I hate that announcer's voice with a passion.

this was a good game, but the sequel was waaaaayyy better. the english voices can be terrible. but the fighting mechanics are pretty solid in my eyes.
