SUMMARY:
Although the title suggests otherwise, this game is mainly a port of the arcade title "Killer Instinct 2".

But you have to mix it up or you'll get "broken" all the time, which makes it a bit aggravating. The final boss battle is the hardest part of the game, and is more challenging than it should be.
Multiplayer action is fast and fun, and you can adjust settings like speed and handicap to make it more fair for less-experienced players. Graphics & sound are...
