King of Fighters: Maximum Impact Maniax

"It's mostly suited for card-carrying King of Fighters fans, though the addition of solid online play makes the Xbox version of the game considerably more appealing than the PS2 original."

"The engine just isn't diverse enough for me, though it is fast. The production values are C-class. But hey -- Xbox Live play rocks! If you're waiting for a lag-free fighter to take online, give this a look."

"You get the sense when playing King of Fighters: Maximum Impact - Maniax that you’re not really supposed to explore that third dimension, since the first two dimensions are what SNK know intimately; not an uncommon thing to happen to a company heading out into uncharted waters, but a tough feeling to swallow nonetheless. Give this one a rent and the series some time; great things definitely lie ahead."

"This version of KOF Maximum Impact isn't all that different from the PS2 release, however online play is a huge asset to fighting game. Due to its accessibility and tip-top Xbox Live interface, Maniax is a good choice for anyone looking for some fast-paced fighting action."
