Second 3D King of Fighters entry, Maximum Impact sequel. Content is more generous and mechanics slightly improved. Still less deep than the main 2D line but an accessible alternative for KOF fans wanting a different style.

Is King of Fighters, The - Maximum Impact 2 still worth playing in 2026?
Known as Maximum Impact 2 and King of Fighters 2006 in the West, this SNK spin-off moves the saga into 3D combat, with three dimensional arenas, sidesteps and a roster gathering the series' stars as modelled characters. The faithfulness to the emblematic figures, the spectacle of the combos and the snappy staging appeal to fans. The 3D handling, less precise than the original 2D, divides purists. A good fighting game for fans of King of Fighters and spectacular 3D brawling.
