THE KING OF FIGHTERS 98 ULTIMATE MATCH PS2 CHEATS SERIES
The subtitle “Dream Match" is something of a give-away the game is basically a celebration of the series up to that point, with (almost) every character from every previous game available for selection. The King of Fighters '98 is unique in the franchise as it doesn't try to tie in with any overriding story. Unlike Capcom's popular “Verses" series, there's no way of tagging a fresh fighter into the bout, but you can change the pecking order before each match. This process continues until one of the opposing teams is out of combatants. As each one falls in competition, the next steps up to the plate. Unlike Street Fighter 2 - which pitches one fighter against another in a "best-of-three rounds" battle - SNK's King of Fighters series puts you in control of a trio of different pugilists. It also controls like a dream and features an excellent soundtrack.įor those of you that haven't already sampled any of the other entries currently available on the Virtual Console, allow us to educate. It's not hard to see why this is the case the game looks stunning, has a massive roster of characters and boasts one of the most balanced fighting engines in any game of this type. For many 2D fighting game fans, The King of Fighters '98 represents the zenith of the series the crowning glory of the only rival lineage to truly bloody the nose of Capcom's genre-defining Street Fighter.
