So this is a video I made a while back with Ralf Jones commentating on it. Man, this wasn't a real good run, I was distracted and because of that I was doing dumb things. I have another video that I'll put up which was actually part of this video and in the same run but I split it up, and that second part contains me getting beat by... Choi. :|
Anyway enjoy the video Ralf Jones was pretty funny in this one.

So basically this is a written version of what I made a video of. So if you don't want to see it you can just read this, but seriously me and Ralf Jones took the time to make it and all...
Anyway, I'll get to the point King Of Fighters 12 just isn't worth 60 dollars, don't waste your money on it. Or rather don't pay that much money if you find it for about 20 dollars it's alright.
Well, first I'll start with what's good:
excellent fighting
great graphics
custom soundtracks enabled on PS3 version (not every game on PS3 lets you use custom soundtracks...)
Why it's dissapointing:
overall lack of content
poor online
no story mode
no survival mode
So yeah that's why it's not worth 60 bucks it's such a barebones game. Unless the DLC comes with more modes like a story mode and not just more characters just wait until the price drops... dramatically.
It really hurts me to say all that being a fan, heck being a big enough fan to found this club with my buddy Ralf Jones. But I'm also honest and with the price of this game I really want to see people's hard earned money only be spent on stuff that's worth it and this.... isn't worth it. If this game was a downloadable game on XBLA and PSN then it would have been alright but no, they're asking a full 60 dollars for it and to be honest you're probably better off getting Kinf Of Fighters 11 instead.
Oddly enough I saw X-Play's review and I actually agreed with them for once, they basically stated the exact things I said in the video and here.
So Sunday is my birthday and not only that but King Of Fighters 12 is out! Ha ha they said it was coming out the 28th! Then boom I walk into a GameStop today and I'm browsing for a game that might tide me over till King Of Fighters 12 came out when... my father calls me over to the back of the store and shows me in his hand... King Of Fighters 12! It is purchased immediately. :)
You want a review? Well, then I plan to put up my first impressions and a full review here later. But you could also listen to the podcast and we'll talk about it then. Which so happens to be our 10th numberes episode, (13th overall) and we'll record on my birthday. So it should be a fun episode.
Also our video podcast http://ikarivod.podomatic.com is now on iTunes as well! Just search the iTunes store and search ikarivod! Both podcasts are quite popular too. I don't know with who exactly though. Definitely not theO. :| Prove me wrong then.
Oh, and it seems the reason I got it now is because it's at GameStop seems GameStop got it early for people who reserved it. But I'm guessing no one reserved it. ??? So they just put it for sale with the rest of the games. So yeah you want it now and not the 28th... go to GameStop!
