****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I must admit that I have never played Killer Instinct
before this game.  I only hope that this a half-way decent fighting game.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: KI is a fairly standard tournament fighter.  You must 
fight your way up the tournament ladder to meet your final destiny, the boss
Eyedol.  The fights are best 2 out of 3 rounds.    
Liked: Nothing particularly.
Hated: Too formulaic.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: KI contains some of the best graphics that you have 
ever seen on the Game Boy.   
Liked: Beautiful graphics.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: KI has some pretty good music with some average 
sound fx.  
Liked: The music.
Hated: Standard sound fx.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: KI has some problems in both of these areas.  The
controls are sluggish and rather lackluster.  The game design is very 
uninspired.
Liked: Nothing really.
Hated: Poor controls.

****************************************************************************

Improve: The controls, the controls, and the controls.

RIYL: Virtua Fighter, Street Fighter 2, and Mortal Kombat. 

****************************************************************************

Final Words: If you are not sick to death of fighting games, or if you loved 
any other version of Killer Instinct then this is a possible purchase.
