Review:
Match of the Millennium was hands down the best fighting game to come out
for the Neo Geo Pocket, and one of the greatest exclusively handheld fighters of
all time! 
A grand total of 26 characters
from SNK and Capcom have been redrawn in the "chibi" deformed art style and make
up the first ever SNK/Capcom cross-over fighting game.
.
.
The art and animation is stunning, clean, and looks superb for a
handheld... One of the best looking Neo Geo Pocket Color, bar none!
The gameplay is fun, yet simple, and there's actually many fun combo possibilities! The story
behind each character is short but sweet and there's quite
a lot of dialogue to read through during the story mode, some of which is rather
hilarious (in a good way). In fact, there is more dialogue in this handheld
fighter than in most arcade fighting games at the time of it's release... 
Pretty impressive. Also, the variety
of modes and match styles adds a lot of replay value... There's 1-on-1, 3-on-3, and
even a solid tag team mode!
.
.
.
Also included in this colorful package are extra mini-games
that are downright awesome, including a Dance Dance Revolution style
game, a Ghost & Goblins mini game, a Metal Slug shoot'em up,
and a Samurai Shodown mini game. Overall, Match of the Millennium is
simply a must have/must play for anyone
who'd call themselves a Capcom or SNK fan... MOTM offers a presentation
and gameplay experience unlike any other. Since the graphics are
of course limited,
it seems like the artists behind the game really gave that "extra" effort which kinda throws everything in your face and forces you to
love everything about the game... Seriously,
they went all out in this game.

Closing Comment:
Match of the Millenium is an amazing little game... The gameplay is rock solid,
complimented by the Neo Geo Pocket Color's superb D-pad, and the character roster
satisfies. MOTM was one of
the best handheld fighters to date, and one of the main reasons to own a NeoGeo
Pocket Color besides Card Fighters Clash! One of my favorite things about the game is how characters have their
original (remixed) background music... Badass game, even though it's on the
cutesy side... You get used to it. ~F.Yagami,
