GAMES

Ooh, Battle Fantasia, a relatively unknown fighting game created by Arc System Works, creators of Guilty Gear and BlazBlue. It doesn't follow Arc's style in a sense that it is slow paced and doesn't take the battle into the air too often. It feels more like Street Fighter. I would have rated the story but... silly me I went and got the Asian imports, urgh, no English to speak of. The boss, The End of Deathbringer, is terribly cheap, but thankfully he can be exploited relatively easily. SNK Boss Syndrome? Definitely. He's like Igniz. A tough ass at first but once you figure out the formula to beat him he's pretty easy.

Hey! I actually got KOF XII! All these days I've been whining about how it costs way too much for what it features. Was I right? Definitely. The game is basically a direct arcade port to the consoles. They threw in 2 characters, Mature and Elisabeth, and a practice mode, that's about it. The arcade mode isn't too amazing either. 5 stages, that's it. So how far did SNK go with their SNK Boss Syndrome this time? Well... they didn't go anywhere. I mean you can't go far with SNK Boss Syndrome if you don't have a boss in the first place now can you? That's right, SNK have done the unthinkable, they didn't add in a boss. Personally I'm okay with this. I'd rather have no boss than fight Omega Rugal Mk II at the end.
Don't get me wrong, I've been ranting for so long but the game itself has a great and simple system, and the graphics are definitely a spectacle, but in my opinion falls short to BlazBlue's graphics. Final verdict? Purchase only if cheaper, do not get at full price (I got mine at nearly half price)
These are pretty much only first impressions. Anything new I'll report back.
Final Comment
No more trivia for so long... should I put one next post? I also feel like making a top 10 worst cases of SNK Boss Syndrome list. Decisions decisions...
