Review: SNK launched SVC: Chaos decent roster of characters, all backed with classic SNK gameplay based on the King of Fighters series which wasn't the best option, but it did the job at making the Capcom characters look "SNK style" at least. One of the game's unique points is it's personalized dialogue between all characters, which is something long time Capcom and SNK fans will appreciate greatly!
The graphics are definitely on the downside of things, as some of SNK's characters are just old rehashed sprites... And when I say old, I mean old, like King of Fighters 95-96 old... This flaw gives the game a dated look already. The backgrounds overall lack excitement and color, which isn't a big deal, but they're definitely not helpful to the overall presentation of the game. On the flip side, the Capcom characters look pretty cool in the SNK style and are well animated for the most part. They play quite a bit differently than in their respective Capcom games, but that's to be expected.
For those
of you who enjoy the classic King of Fighters gameplay, you'll be glad
to know that you'll easily be able to pull of a Shoryuken, or a Yoga Flame
with ease. However, you Capcom veterans might have to get used to the gameplay
mechanics, which are faster than Street Fighter gameplay for the most part.
Die-hard fighting gamers will have fun with this game, and I suppose that's
whom it's intended for.

Closing Comment:
Although the game features a solid character roster and a pretty sweet intro, the
overall presentation
seems rushed. The character dialogue intermissions are done very well however
(bad translation and all 
),
but the game could really have used a tune up in the graphics department. They
should have taken more time with the animation, and for such an epic cross-over
game, using the graphics & gameplay engine from Garou: Mark of the Wolves
would have been their best foot forward.
At it's core, SNK VS Capcom: Chaos an "average" 2D fighting
game at best... But can be enjoyed by SNK & Capcom fans alike. On the
flipside, ALL of the official artwork for the game is BADASS. ~F.Yagami,
