King of fighter 13
The King of Fighters XIII is the best fighting game among the saga King of fighters for me. It features a very beautiful graphical style, fluid animation, plus there is a new fighting system that's more technical with Hyper Drive mode, Cancel and Desperation moves inspired from KOF 2002 and KOF XI. If you don't know how to play there is also practice mode and trial mode to learn different combos of every character you like. As a 2D fighting game player I urge everyone to test this game, if you like KOF this is the best one for you.

King of Fighters XIII is a very good game, old school style with a complex game play, worth it.

Best Fighting Game of the last years
Splendid work for SNK. Accesible to all (except the story mode), King of fighters XIII feels like a complete game compared to the last KOF title released.

King of Fighters XIII
King of Fighters XIII is a pretty decent fighter with characters team endings and unique team endings. The additional dlc characters that come from previous installations of the franchise make this a decent purchase. Overall, great value for money.

The King of Fighters.
This generation has seen the 2D fighting game enjoy a well deserved rise in popularity. With great games such as Street Fighter 4, Marvel Vs Capcom 3, and the Blazblue series, fans of the genre have rarely had it so good. King of Fighters 13 continues the trend of stellar fighting games to be released in the current generation. With stunning anime visuals, smooth and responsive gameplay and a whole host of options, this game is a must have for fans of the genre. The large cast of characters provides plenty of choice to create the perfect team, whilst the easy to pick up but hard to master controls keep you coming back in order to perfect your execution. In the generation of the 2D fighter, this game manages to stand amongst the big boys and be counted as one of the best. A must have!

I got the package in time and it was just perfect as Zavvi always does! It's a great 2D fighting game, SNK style, and even if you are new with this saga I'm sure you are going to love it! It's a must-have. Amazing job SNK!
