As a full game, it's a joke, if not an obvious troll of a fighting game. I struggle to take this game seriously even if it was an aracde game for less than £8. However, as a very very very cheap aracde game (if not a couple of quid, certainly free) it's not bad for getting trophies or achievements.

However, the controls and command list are aweful because they are so unclear on how to perform each move. The game is fairly easy to pick and play, especially compared to more technical fighting games. It's the 3v3 rather than 1v1 but still two players, but each has 3 characters. What sets this game apart is not characters, quality or game modes. The characters lack variety and a fair few are obvious copies of Street Fighter characters like El Fuerte, Dan, Ryu, Ken, Yang, C. Everything about this game feels low budget and certainly not high quality. However, the quality of these is very low compared to Street Fighter IV. All the standard modes you'd expect from a fighting game are here arcade mode, multiplayer, local versus, time attack, trials). Not only do you have to sit down and sketch the shape of the stick movement, but also each move is not clearly indicated, since they're all on one line rather than a line for each move (like on Street Fighter IV). Although there is a tutorial, the commands in the tutorial and trials mode could not have been any less clear. Characters in this game have zero detail and the stages don't look great either.

The original Street Fighter 2 is better looking, and SSFIITHD is by far better looking. I know it's a fighting game and graphics don't matter, but at least SOME effort would have been nice. Given that this is a full retail game from 2011, I'd be lying if I said it isn't laughably pathetic. The 4 CD soundtrack provided by Atlus USA surely helps to improve the value of an already exceptional game. KoF13 has already been a favorite in the competitive scene for some time, and it's likely to gather a decent following in order to build a sizeable community in the future. Not only has the overall package been extremely improved in both quantity and quality, with tons of modes, new characters, beautiful stages that will remind you of the best SNK games on NeoGeo, new systems that actually add a lot of depth to the game (drive cancel, extra versions of special and desperation moves, and many other things) but the game has also a good netcode that, so far, hasn't let me down a single time. King of Fighters XIII is probably the best 2d fighting experience you can have in the current generation, and one of the best 2d fighters ever King of Fighters XIII is probably the best 2d fighting experience you can have in the current generation, and one of the best 2d fighters ever created.
