Review: The fourth installment to the KOF series introduces the "dual mode" play system, allowing players to choose from either "Advanced' or "Extra". Advanced allows for a faster, offensive play while Extra allows for a more defensive, special-intensive play. Now with more gameplay and team customization options than ever, KOF97 was surely the best the KOF series has seen to date. This installment also featured the largest character roster to date as well as the best soundtrack and gameplay to come out of the series thus far.

Closing Comment: KOF 97 was a big step for the series... The large character roster helped the game stand out in arcades, and along with the refined gameplay, the overall graphics and animation saw improvement. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
