Killer Instinct has more heart and soul than most other games around. It will satisfy fans 100%. Honestly, the only things missing are the finishing moves. The combo system is very high risk high reward. The roster is completely diverse. No two characters play alike and every single one of them is balanced. Also, the net code is some of the best out there with close to no imput delay. KI released more than 2 1/2 years ago and is still fully supported with monthly content and updates. A must own for all fighting game fans.

Love this game...but its cheap that you have to purchase even the STARTER characters. It was fine before the update but Im not paying for characters that are supposed to come WITH the game, that's just plain stupid.

Review title of Unknown$5 per character!?
With more than 25 characters you would have to pay around $125 just for the base characters, then there are accessories and other customizations. Thats absolutely ridiculous. I would rather buy a fighting game for $40~$60 and have all fighters from start. Uninstalled after 5 minutes

Review title of CleverFoal95455AMAZING VISUAL EFFECTS
THIS GAME IS A FEAST FOR YOUR EYES! WATCHING ONLINE VIDEOS DONT DO IT JUSTICE... you have to see it in person! I was really big into MKX before, but this tames it!! There's a neat 5 second fatality and thats it for MKX.. KI is action from start 2 finish, with shockwaves, sparks, explosions, etc. The announcer yelling is hilariously good, the soundtrack fits great for the settings of each menu and stage.. sound is very crisp... combo system feels nice but takes time to figure out, however, its worth learning once you see what everybody can really do👍 its really incredible!! If your new to KI, I would suggest CPU matches with combo assist on to start... I do wish there was a TAG TEAM OPTION to play friends on and offline though... its not a complaint, but a suggestion really... bottom line, if you like colorful, fast paced fighters.. this game will BLOW YOUR MIND!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL! ❤

Review title of OpponentYew2000Fun offline, but really bad story and toxic community
The game is my personal favorite fighting game. Easier to play than MKX and quite a diverse, ever-growing cast. I have a few problems though. I'm very casual when I play, on or offline. But the game of encourages aggression towards other players in a bad way. I understand this (when played online) is a competitive game but most of the people I have watched and played against seem to forget they are still playing a GAME against a HUMAN being. As a result, a lot of excessive crouching, spam taunts, and the worst of all, harrassment via mail. They will completely rag you about skill even though everybody in this game spams heavy overheads and grabs or at least one of those things. Next, I feel like the SL story is very bad, I feel like the dialogue was written by a child (no offense) I just couldn't take it seriously and completely lost interest in SL. Like I said, the core game is amazing, I really enjoy PvE, from single fights, to S1&2 story modes, to survival.

Review title of OrphanCastle6S2S FIGHTING Competition
KILLER INSTINCT is huge! There are so many unlockables, modes and extras. My friend @GAMESTOP introduced me to the game, and says hes been a fan since it first launched by NINTENDO. I love it on XBOX ONE! You can compete local online multiplayer matches or monthly ranked leagues. Single player mode is available, with the addition of CINEMATIC STORY MODE. The Shadow Lab will let you train an A,I, CPU character. Fight by using controller buttons, and or combining special button inputs for devastating unique character attacks and combos. The main mechanic of combos are the openers [ special attacks that start combos, then links and finishers ]. The game will train you with an in game listing, and many options are available, but theres still alot to discover. K INSTINCT MODE, a secondary enhancement ability can be unleashed by filling the bar ability found underneath the player life count \ health bar. GOOD GRAPHICS : MANY BATTLE AREAS : SIDE TO SIDE FIGHTING GAME : UNLOCKABLE CONTENT :

Review title of Artyom SaveliLimited Roster (FUGMM)
Regardless of the quality of the combat, what really cripples the game is the amount of DLC Characters that are locked off by season. Sure, paying $5 for a character is nice, but to pay $5 for almost EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER in the game is more likely to drain your wallet and leave you about $80 short or so. There are plenty of fighting games with a large pool of charaters to choose from, all without spending a penny more. Mortal Kombat X, for example, has a large selection of characters to select, with only 8 DLC characters to buy for the complete roster. As an added bonus, if you wanted to buy all the characters without buying them individually or with a season pass, you could buy the XL version (GOTY edition, basically) for $40 on the Xbox Store. As of Killer instinct, you would need to purchase the Supreme Edition of the game (~$70) to have every character unlocked. You're better off buying MK XL than you would be buying this. Praise the sun that S2 is free for Gold Members.

Review title of C SIPARIOne of the Greatest....
My review is for the complete game. Ive only given a 4 star (Great) rating to two other fighting games; Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat II, and this game deserves its place next to them, there is so much to do here and its all so well done, Killer Instinct brings back all the classic characters and adds even more to the mix, each fighter looks and feels unique which is what makes them so memorable, the graphics look awesome, the soundtrack slays, add in the stellar gameplay plus the hefty side of extras and this is easily the Best fighter in over two decades and one of the greatest fighting games ever made. My only complaint is the decision to not release an exclusive stage for each character in Season 3.

Buy this if you see in a store! The content packed on disk is second to none, plus it comes with an additional soundtrack. Just wished it had every piece of music. But luckily, the bonuses on the games disk has got every sound track and other goodies. Love it!
