THE KING OF FIGHTERS 2002 UNLIMITED MATCH
Description
The second title in the UM series is a fully upgraded version of KOF 2002, a masterpiece of the KOF series deserving of a place honor along with KOF ’98. Based on THE NESTS CHRONICLES, this title includes the most characters of any title in KOF history. All graphics and background music have been completely redone and the game balance has also been extensively redesigned. New moves have been added and others have been brought back, meaning that players can enjoy battling it out for longer than ever.
66 characters in all – the most playable characters ever in the KOF series:
With DNA from Kyo and K’, this title’s original character Nameless is ready for action!
In addition to characters that appeared in the original KOF 2002, formidable fighters from THE NESTS CHRONICLES as well as additional characters and hidden characters keep popping up to fight!
Updated game sounds:
The demo screens, cut-scenes, and winning screens are worth a look.
What’s more, all background music has been updated for more intense matches!
Tons of new moves and old moves that have been brought back are found in this title only!
Fully upgraded and redesigned system and game balance for all characters:
Each character’s special and extra-special moves are former moves and power-changing moves from past series as well as many new moves created for this title only.
The MAX2 move for all characters is even more impressive than ever. Now easier to use in real matches for a show of supreme power!!
Includes many game modes:
Not only can 50 different moves be practiced in both “normal” and “expert” difficulties in Challenge Mode, players can also create original combos in “Practice Mode”. There is also “Endless Mode”, where players can battle against the CPU for as long as their endurance will allow.

Is Outdated
The game is simply out of date, I bought it from GOG because whenever there is a sale I buy it here, but the fact that it is out of date discouraged me a little.

A Rare Great KOF Since KOF 96
In short, KOF 2002 UM is a Street Fighter style beat-em-up and is based on utilizing ancient glitches. If you are a casual player with not much time to get into games, get a Tekken title instead. Technically: Sounds & music are fantastic much unlike the previous 98, 2000 and even vanilla 2002 titles with quickly put-together ear-ra... Too bad you will not hear the fantastic Nameless theme unless you finish two (2) arcade fights with MAX 2 moves. The character audio is there. In general, it does not feel like a downgraded arcade port that usually come with its content cut. Graphics are flat 2D, strongly pixelated. The game has not a single line of a story. If you do not know why Athena is there or how to unlock certain boss fights, no one is going to tell you. This game is a very poor entry point to the series, despite being one of the best entries. The gameplay is where the game breaks down a bit. 1. There is very limited content besides about five matches long 3-character Team and Single modes with a mid-boss and a final boss (also a special fight w/ Omega Rugal if special finish the final stage boss without dying) dictated by how many special finishes you perform during the preceding fights. The game plays smooth when mostly basic moves are used and dashes and jumps are avoided. It might be my system, though I experienced repeated input drops making me unable to do basic kicks and punches after a simple jump or the enemy using a flashy move. I use keyboard, so it is very clear when the moves do not come out at all. My guess is that the CPU player's input takes precedence, to the point of processing it first at the expense of player inputs. Speaking which, the CPU players are built on reacting to the inputs of the player, not the visible moves. In practice, this makes trying to defeat a final boss Krizalid with Kyo impossible as it 0-frame counters every single move you do. The boss already has more health than you. Input drops and cheap bosses hurt the fun factor.
