Fun:
SNK Playmore continues their line of solid, classic 2-D fighters for the PS2 with NeoGeo Battle Coliseum, which is by far the flashiest, and perhaps the most fun, of the bunch yet. NeoGeo Battle Coliseum features a horde of fighters from various SNK games: Fatal Fury, King of Fighters, Samurai Showdown, Last Blade, and even Metal Slug among others can be found here. What really makes NeoGeo Battle Coliseum so fun is that it is surprisingly easy to pick up and play. Even if you are a novice to the style of SNK's fighting games, you won't have too much of a problem getting into the gameplay and fighting mechanics. However, this also showcases the biggest flaw of the game as well: the fighting engine itself isn't very deep. Compared to SNK's own recently released King of Fighters XI, NeoGeo Battle Coliseum's fighting system can't even compare. That aside, Battle Coliseum is more about flashy, beat 'em up action than a deep and involving enginge, and the character sprites are big and well animated, as are the backgrounds. It should also be noted that Battle Coliseum suffers from a ridiculously hard, and cheap, end boss; which has been a signature of SNK's fighters for years now. That aside, NeoGeo Battle Coliseum is a wonderful 2-D fighter that longtime fans of 2-D fighters and SNK's library will get much enojoyment out of for sure.
