developer SNK arcade game officially out of business in 2001, but this did not seem to slow down what appears to be a new generation of games for the NeoGeo hardware computer games company. One of the last projects the company worked was the King of Fighters 2001, the latest edition of the annual series SNK fighting games, along with a new developer, Eolith. While some aspects of KOF 2001 may be very different from previous games, spend time with him and he will realize that it is one of the deepest, most fighting games in 2D technique ever has.
It is no secret that the SNK NeoGeo hardware is old. More than 10 years. That is why their games are still using low-resolution, hand-drawn sprites of characters instead of the switch to a 3D engine or at least use a high frame rate, high-resolution graphics. NeoGeo hardware age seems painfully obvious, if that is a general one looks at the stages of the history of the poor quality of KOF 2001,, at best and ugly and pixelated at worst. But over the years, SNK artists have perfected many visual tricks to help you add details about their characters and give them a lot of personality. And in KOF 2001 characters have a lot of personality - like everything you would expect from SNK, a company with a history of making some of the most distinctive and memorable characters 2D fighting game in history. You see it in poses and taunts winning character and additional animations. It is true (and unfortunate) that KOF 2001 reuses many cartoon characters from previous games old, so some characters - especially young ones - are better than others. But most of the characters have at least some new Animations, sets victory, and special attacks - more than enough to make any more interesting than it was in the previous game, KOF 2000.
Another tradition KOF good voice acting; voice work KOF 2001 is about as good as it was in 2000. Katsoufis, grumpy characters like Iori and Kyo mock growl and appropriate and with the smart mouth optimistic characters like Ramon and Joe hurl insults at opponents and laugh in his face. KOF 2,001 sound effects are more or less adequate; They resemble those of previous years, which is fine. fast punches sound like quick strikes, loud banging like heavy blows, and infamous series flashy explosions and fire flame bursts KOF sound like it should do so. Unfortunately, the music of KOF 2001 is not so good. From the series' inception in 1994, their soundtracks were eclectic mixture of funk, jazz, "rock guitar style of the 80s, and heavy metals, but in later years, the soundtracks have degenerated into techno music generics. KOF music is at its lowest point in 2001. Despite trying to keep a subject very bottom and percussion, everything ends up being the same kind of forgettable bland techno music you've heard a million times to all other video game a techno soundtrack.
