PS2 Preview - 'King Of Fighters: Maximum Impact'
by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Post - E3 2004

Genre: Action/Fighting
Publisher: SNK
Developer: SNK
Release Date: September 14, 2004

For years now, we have been waiting for a true Gran Turismo killer to come out and knock GT 3 off of its pedestal, and take the racing sim crown. There have been many attempts at this, but so far none have been able to dethrone Sony's masterpiece which has really stood the test of time.
