The King of Fighters 2001 PC Game Free Download
Arcade-game developer SNK officially went out of business in 2001, but that hasn’t seemed to slow down what is apparently a new generation of games for the company’s NeoGeo arcade hardware. One of the last projects the company was working on was The King of Fighters 2001, the latest edition in SNK’s annual fighting game series, along with a new developer, Eolith. And while certain aspects of KOF 2001 may seem very different from previous games, spend some time with it and you’ll eventually realize that it’s one of the deepest, most technical 2D fighting games ever made.
It’s no secret that SNK’s NeoGeo hardware is old. Over 10 years old. That’s why its games still use low-resolution, hand-drawn sprites for its characters, rather than switching to a 3D engine or at least using high-frame-rate, high-resolution graphics. The age of the NeoGeo hardware seems painfully obvious when you look at KOF 2001′s shoddy background stages, which look generic at best and ugly and pixelated at worst. But over the years, SNK’s artists have perfected a bunch of visual tricks to help add detail to their characters and give them lots of personality. And KOF 2001′s characters have lots of personality–as much as you’d expect from SNK, a company with a history of making some of the most distinctive and memorable 2D fighting game characters ever. You’ll see it in your character’s win poses and taunts and in other extra animations. It’s true (and unfortunate) that KOF 2001 reuses a lot of old character animation from previous games, so that some characters–especially the newest ones–look better than others. But most characters have at least some new animations, win poses, and special attacks–more than enough to make each one more interesting than they were in the previous game, KOF 2000.
Another KOF tradition is good voice acting; KOF 2001′s voice work is about as good as it was in 2000. Sullen, moody characters like Iori and Kyo snarl and sneer appropriately, while upbeat, smart-mouthed characters like Ramon and Joe hurl insults at their opponents and laugh in their faces. KOF 2001′s sound effects are pretty much adequate; they resemble those from previous years, which is just fine. Quick jabs sound like quick jabs, strong punches sound like strong punches, and KOF’s infamous suite of flashy explosions and fiery bursts of flame sound just like you’d expect them to. Unfortunately, KOF 2001′s music isn’t as good. From the series’ beginning in 1994, its soundtracks were eclectic mixes of funk, jazz, ’80s-style guitar rock, and heavy metal, though in later years, the soundtracks have degenerated into generic techno music. KOF’s music is at an all-time low in 2001. Though it tries to hold to a theme of mostly bass and percussion, it all ends up being the same kind of bland, forgettable techno music you’ve heard about a zillion times in every other video game with a techno soundtrack.
