For when you need to kick butt on the go
Naturally, nothing compares to the true experience of playing a fighting game in the arcade, but this little baby does a nice job of giving great fighting gameplay for those boring road trips mom and dad are always taking you on.It's not a game I'd recommend you go out of your way to play, but if you're going to have the time to sit around, this is definately something worth having with you!

Sometimes I miss Benimaru, but I think I'm over that now.

SNK still has it
I have been a fan of SNK since i got a NeoGeo.I loved the fighting games, and in particular, playig as Athena.Them Match of the Millenium came out, and SNK took on Capcom.I loved it.This is just another installment of King of Fighters games...and like most all of its predescesors, it is great.

Pretty good
The deep fighting system that has become synonymous with the King of Fighters franchise is alive and well in The King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood for the GBA. Among the 21 available characters, you'll find old favorites alongside three newcomers who are exclusive to this title. King of Fighters' classic three-on-three battles are the mainstay of this GBA version with a special story mode that lets you vie for the throne.
The character art and animation are fantastic, as are the detailed backgrounds. The effects for special attacks are similarly striking. Unfortunately, the soundscape doesn't follow suit and is actively annoying in places. Each character's unique fighting style offers special moves and combos, though some of them are unreasonably difficult to execute. When you get it right, though, the results are sufficiently devastating. A "Striker" command lets you call in a teammate to make a quick attack on your behalf, which can also make a huge impact on the outcome. Cancels are a piece of cake and can lead to counters that annihilate your opponent.
Due to the fast-paced action, the controls will leave you with aching hands and thumbs. It's especially noticeable if you play on the quadrangular GBA SP. Of course, this level of intensity means that there's a good game underway, and you'll want to keep at it despite the pain. It is a must have for KOF veterans on the go.

Big big BIG improvement over the last game!
Now this is a King of fighters Ex! It has better sound, ( I lower down my sound on the first game) Better graphics and much better art and ending!
This game has a feel of a true fighter. This time you use 3 fighters, Using the next fighter as a striker.
The menu's look pretty awesom!
The bosses are highly more difficult than that stupid 3 battle with geese( Which was easy) In this one you have to fight a young fellow that turns in to a crazy maniac and shoots things at you!
The endings are much better, First you see your team talking to the boss and it shows some nice art work. Peh, Better than that ending with your team mates standing there and saying stuff with no picture. the new characters are Sinobu, Reiji, Jun and Miu. You may find Miu alot like Kula Diamond and Sinobu like Goenitz... The graphics didn't change much but there a little better, It's a pocket size game so i won't expect it to be a
Matrimellee game or a street fighter game.
There are some new modes and a story mode.
Perfectly, This is the best fighter on GBA... It actually came from worse to best! King of fighters rocks again!
Pick this up, Don't get EX1... Get this. The newer the better ;-), Except 2-D, 2-D will always be my favorite.

A small size game, Of Butt kicking action!
I'd give this 5 stars because this game is TIGHT! A special sequal to kof EX 1. With a 3 on 3 battle, With charecters from Kof 2000. This game includes 7 teams and 21 charecters, With a story mode, And a VS mode to compete with your friends( Or your rival). There's a judging system that will rate your skills.With charecters named, Moe,Terry from the legendary Fatal fury, Charecter from art of fighting series and much much more! And a new charecter named Miu.
The graphics are highly smooth and great for a small vdo game.
Better than street fighter!
To rent or to buy: Rent it first to see what you think, But i'd buy it! ... Read more

Pc Game
I really love playing this game on the computer. The one you offered me is for game boy. Do you have the PC version. I can sit for hours and make words up. It keeps my brain active. Please let me know. Thanks

Game freezes / locks up too much
We've had this game for about a week.It's a fantastic game, except that it locks up / freezes to much.When it does that, you lose your game, and you have to start over.Kind of frustracting.Otherwise, a great game.Defective??We bought it from Toysrus / Amazon which cost 25% more than other places.

Great Game For People/Kids Who Like To Think!
I bought this game for myself based merely on the reviews here at Amazon and I am so glad I found it!Bookworm is alot of fun.I enjoy crossword puzzles so this game is perfect for me but also my 11 yo dd likes to play it as well.

Bookworm is perfect for adults as well as children.

Wish it wouldn't freeze
I agree with everyone.This game is the best.I got it yesterday, and have become addicted.I'm glad it's a long weekend.Unfortunately, I am having problems with it freezing,and it seems to do so when I get a REALLY good score.Since many others don't seem to have this problem, I'm going to order another one, and hope it's maybe a glitch in this pack.You can bet I wouldn't order a second if this wasn't SO addicting.

FANTASTIC FUN!
THIS GAME IS SO ADDICTIVE AND GREAT FUN!!I CAN'T PUT IT DOWN.IF YOU LOVE PUZZLES, WORD GAMES YOU WILL LOVE THIS!!IT WORKS YOUR BRAIN AND WOULD HELP A PERSON LEARN TO SPELL.I AM 46 Y.0. AND AM ACTING LIKE A KID. ... Read more

Compared to X Box version, not bad.

As a 31 year old fan of the former 70s TV series, I first picked up a copy of this title for my XBOX.I hadnt seen many reviews of the game, but I bought it used and just wanted to try it.The game is so much fun, and the cheesy graphics remind you of the cheesy TV show in many ways.Actually the qraphics are quite good, try the game, you will see what I mean by "cheesy".Anyways, I liked the game so much I wanted to get it for my portable GBA.It was nice to see that the theme of the console version made its way to GBA.Also, some of the very cool graphics also made it to the GBA.This game can be taxing on your eyes as it moves fast, but the scale is small.If you like driving and shooting games, or if you like the console versions of this title, the portable version is every bit what you should expect. ...
