This is a solid oldschool fighter. Large number of characters/teams to pick from. All of the stages are pretty nice, my favorite being the stage on the street with the cars flying by. Online seems to work but no one was on it when I tried. Play locally with a friend for a good time!

I've waited a long time for this glorious moment, but finally the arcade hit fighting game classic The King Of Fighters 1998 is here, with the latest arcade update - Ultimate Match Final Edition.

Honestly, this is pretty much good as fighting games get. Initially this game had a really rough day 1, with issues such as frame rate drops/frame skipping, unbearable online play and a bunch of other problems. However since I got to play the public beta version for an upcoming patch to the game, most of those problems have been addressed and I'm pretty satisifed with this game.

Also don't listen to those players crying about the lack of superficial features from the PS2 version of the game like 3D Backgrounds, Arrange Soundtracks, etc. They aren't required to enjoy the game where it matters most - the gameplay. Most of the 3D backgrounds looked awful anyways, and while the Arrange Soundtrack is really good, I'm sure there will be a way to mod the music in the game anyways as with most PC titles.

If your first time playing The King Of Fighters series was XIII, you are in for a wild ride. This game is way different, everything hurts alot more, normals and anti-airs are much stronger, characters and movelists are far more diverse, and the action is very faced paced and unforgiving! Truly this game is one of the finest 2D fighting game classics out there, and you can even play the original '98 in all it's glory.

Last but not least, Eiji Kisaragi is the greatest. So glad to play with him again. He's a real beastly character.

As others have said, this is indeed the Final Edition of King of Fighters 98UM. However, that means it's the final rebalancing. It doesn't include the features the PS2 one does because that's not the version that was ported. It's a port of the XBLA version with all the balance changes applied to it. It's about as close to arcade perfect as you'll get. I can understand why people would be disappointed by that, but all things considered this is a good port. Now let's talk about the part everybody cares about most.

The netcode itself seems to be about KoFXIII's levels of quality. So it's very playable, but not perfect. This has been my experience with player matches only with players ranging from 100ms to 200ms. Yes, it displays the ping times, thank God. When someone's connection has issues, you can definitely feel the delay, but it resyncs pretty quickly.

Single player consists of small challenges, arcade mode, 1v1 matches, etc. All the stuff you would expect from a fighter. It also includes the NeoGeo version of KoF98 if you want to play that.

So to sum it up: few SP modes, no PS2 features, only way to play FE outside of arcades, netcode is good for input delay based netcode. So you're getting an arcade faithful version of KoF98UM FE with online play. I'm happy with it, but you can't please everybody. One little thing I'm personally happy about is that everybody is unlocked from the start, too.
