reviews

I’ve finally got my copy of KOF Orochi Saga in the Mail which I’ve Pre-Ordered from an Ebay store since Oct 4th. here’s my report:

There is alot more good than bad this time. Nothing is really a deal breaker but I wish SNK would have www.terminalreality.com actually test the games better.

Pros:

KOF 94-98!

Unlockable Classic Artwork and Soundtracks. (Original and Arranged)

Plays great!

No weird tileing or slowdown like the PS2 SNK Arcade Classics Vol.1 had.

KOF Orochi Saga Intro

Cons:

Damn weird half assed blurr filter on all the games. No option to shut it off.

Loading screens in the game? WTF? The Japanese version didnt have this!

Weird sound glitches!

Glitches in detail.

So far the big one is KOF98(nice one terminal!)

When every round starts about 95% of the time the Announcer goes

READY

GO

--"INNAH"

or

READY

GO

--"EADY"

WTH is that?! Its not a deal breaker but it sure is weird!

Now on KOF96 I only got a glitch once.

Female Team Stage at the end of the match it didnt switch to the quote music it just kept on playing the Female Team stage. Tried repeatedly but only happened once out of 10 or so times.

So far no issues with 94,95,97.

Overall I’m pleased that the gameplay is still intact as well as the extra content such as artwork and soundtracks but the sound Issues are kinda weird. My only gripe aside from the sound problems is the inability to play a game with the option to switch from original to arranged soundtracks.
