Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Invitations in white envelopes sealed with a crimson
imprint are sent out once again, calling upon the
world's mightiest fighters to join the eleventh
King of Fighters tournament. Familiar faces such
as KOF stalwarts Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami
are joined by nine fighters such as Mai Shiranui,
Tung Fu Rue, and Magaki that are new to the PS2
version of KOF XI. PS2 exclusive game modes include
Endless Mode and Challenge Mode which features 40
mini fighting games. A Gallery Mode brims with
full-color artwork and sketches while gamers in
search of a challenge may hook up with other
fighters in the Network Match Mode. Two new systems
are introduced in KOF XI - the first is the Judgment
System which decides the winner not by the amount of
HP remaining but by the quality of your attacks and
combinations. The second new system is the use of
Skill Stocks which deplete when evasive moves are
pulled off.
Upon starting the game, 33 fighters are shown in the character
selection screen which are grouped in four batches
of six along with a batch of nine in the middle of
the screen. After selecting three fighters and
designating team leader and order of battle, a match
starts. Movement may be directed with either the
D-pad or L-analog stick.
