Killer Instinct is just the best game of 2-d fighting i ever played, i gotta say i'm a MK fan, but when i first got my hands on KI, about twelve to thirteen years ago, i said to myself: "...way to go BB", i felt so many mix reactions i couldn't express them again right now, i only can say, i love it! The Menu Screen of Ki with it's logo, and the nice retro-Electronic voice saying: "killer instinct" is just in my favorite quotas of all times, you might say that is a replica of Mk, but it did deliver its own flavor. The amount of fighters on the game is pretty enough, and the way they look and move its pretty awsome, we got a werewolf, a jason looking-skeleton, Spinal, a pretty slimmed beauty Orchid, a Tyson soft copy named Combo, and many more. They are around 10. The gameplay still freak me out, because of it polished combo-controlled, i must say that till this day, i haven't feel so comfortable to do a combo like in KI. You just seem to feel and intuitive touch the controller to do a brutal combo, with about 12 to 15 blows. The guard system worked perfectly, just pressing backwards towards your opponent, and voila, plus the "scapegoat" Combo Breaker. The soundtrack of this game is just so cool, that i purchased the Cd and played it at parties with my friends, and we used to enjoy a lot (Fever), i listen to it over and over again without getting tired, i think it was the first time that i heard a properly done soundtrack for a video game, and i think that's very important for me. the graphics, what else can i excalimed but a "big Wow!" when i saw the nice detailed characters and scenarios, like Jago's or Fulgore's ones. Besides that when you start a Combo, the character charges back and go forward with a rainbow of kicks and punches, freaking amazing, isn't it? Overall this is my very favorite game of all times, and you can call me any nick-name you like for it, but give credit to my words( like Orchid's song): "...killer, killer", this game is a must have before you say goodbye to this world. Kawabonga!!!!
