This Xbox One exclusive is a fantastic reboot of the classic 90's fighter. Like "Street Fighter IV", it has been continuously updated and has improved as a result. In fact, the game has more of a "Street Fighter" feel than its old school predecessors. It looks terrific, features fluid combat and is highly accessible. Thankfully, it caters to both the casual and hardcore crowd. There are numerous challenges, tutorials and training modes for those that want to master each character. This is one of the better Microsoft exclusives. I would rate it with an 8.3 out of 10.

Killer Instinct is a cult fighting game, that found its way to the Xbox One. It has cool characters, nice optics and the gameplay isn´t innovative, but fun. The gameplay is complex but addictive but the story mode is negligible.

The game has amazing graphics, precise controls, a large selection of characters, many unique stages, and a ton of modes. If you enjoy fighting games I would highly recommend. The only drawback I can think of is that while the stages are well done it really doesn’t matter what stage you select as there is no real difference between the stages except the background image.

When I heard this game would be done in seasons with DLC, I was a bit disappointed in that it seemed like a shameless cash grab. But after 3 seasons of fighters, gameplay tweaks, good online play, and a really in depth fighting system with excellent tutorials, I would go as far as to say this game is my favorite fighter of this console generation. I mean I would definitely recommend this game over Smash ultimate, SFV, MKX, MK11, or or the new samurai shodown. Its not the best fighter of all time, just the best of this generation.

Quelle est cette odeur nauséabonde ? c'est l'odeur du combo free to pay-pay to win, autrment dit du jeu gratuit à péage multi-directionnel optionnel très fortement recommandé : en effet enchaîner les combats avec toujours le même personnage devient lassant, aussi profitez de notre pack à xx euros, c'est une promo ! et laissez-vous tentez par quelques micro-transactions par la même occasion ! D'un autre côté, on ne voit vraiment pas pourquoi on s'infligerait ça puisqu'il s'agit du pire jeu de baston de tous les temps. Graphiquement à peine correct et affublé d'une direction artistique qui n'a rien d'artistique, ses animations font penser à un vieux jeu 2D du fond du troisième tiroir en bas dans la cave, c'est-à-dire deux frames d'animation maximum. Il en résulte une impression de saccade déplorable, ce qui, combiné à la vitesse délirante des coups, rend le jeu totalement illisible et grotesque. La musique provient certainement d'une poubelle tant elle écorche les oreilles et en ce qui concerne le multi-joueurs qu'il soit local ou sur le réseau, c'est toujours celui qui appuie le plus vite qui gagne. Très fatigant pour le pouce et la manette tout cela. Il est clair que n'importe quel jeu japonais met ce Killer machin à l'amende sans forcer, car s'ils font la course aux micro-paiements également, ils s'avèrent au moins jolis à regarder et d'une prise en main correcte. Tout le contraire de cette catastrophe digitale d'un mauvais goût flagrant.

To get the most out of Killer Instinct you are going to have to purchase Seasons 2 & 3, or one of the other bundles out there. If not you're going to be left with a smaller roster of characters and other content. Given all of that is it even worth buying vanilla Killer Instinct? Personally I say yes. There's a great combat system in place. The game has some great tutorials in place to help you get into the swing of things. It also helps that the fights are complimented by bright, colorful, and flashy graphics. The characters themselves all have their own distinguishing features to make them all worth checking out. Now obviously there's multiplayer, great proving grounds for your skills, but how is it's single-player offerings? Basically just a bunch of matches against the AI where you pick a character and see a cutscene at the end. The game gives you some decent incentive to keep going back thanks to unlockables and multiple endings, but it doesn't change the fact that these are just bot matches that likely won't hold your attention long. This is no Mortal Kombat style story mode. While perhaps a bit too bare bones for some, vanilla Killer Instinct still offers plenty of reasons to give it a shot. The gameplay is enjoyable enough to even pull you away from the likes of Mortal Kombat from time to time. There's also a way to play it for free to see if the game is for you or not. Going free-to-play does limit the roster to only one, regularly rotating character, but you can experience the game without paying a single-cent. The way you buy the more complete versions of it are disappointing. However just the basic game can keep you entertained for quite a while before you feel the need to spring for those other seasons. Overall it's a pretty great fighter, with fairly crappy purchasing system. Still, it's worth it for hardcore fighting game fans even if they don't buy anything more than the base game.

The fighting mechanics in this game are very fun, intense and fast paced. However the game has way to much micro transactions like most xbox one games.

Well the graphics are one of my favorite improvements and characters look badass well the bummer is that you have to pay for the rest of the roster but when you do buy them it'll be totally worth and then you're up and kickin ass and let's be honest for a moment who else int hyped for season 3

The graphics and the game are a joke. If your smart buy Mortal Kombat X, if you want REAL next gen graphics and game play. Killer Instinct is more of a crappy Street fighter clone than an actual remake or sequel and I really do mean "CRAPPY". It's too bad too, because the previous installments were such great fighting games. Anyone who gives this game a 7-10 must be getting paid to do so.

unlike the people that gave this game a bad score because it isn't what most fighting games are shame on you because unlike most fighting games Killer instinct for the Xbox one actually requires you to know how to play a fighting game because it your main source of damage comes from you combos not just button mashing and if you don't have the right amount of skill you can learn how to play with the tutorial levels within the dojo section of the game and this helped me out alot to because I was hopeless at this game at first but then I learnt the controls and combos from the tutorial and I find it realy easy to play now so that why I have given the game it's rating.

You can only give this game a high score if you still live in 1995. It's the perfect example of how companies milk classic games. A shame of a fighting game. It screamed CASH GRAB!!! from the moment I launched it.

I picked up the Season 1 Combo Breaker physical media and with all the improvements released through updates, I give this game a 10. So much has improved. The visuals look vibrant. The gameplay speed is intense. The volume of characters available is a major improvement. There is a 19 GB patch after or during installation. The complete edition is out and gives you everything. I used to play the arcade version years ago. So I'm probably looking at adding the season 2 to my list now. There are many products so it's still confusing which to buy.

Very disappointed. I am a huge fan of the series but this game didn't do anything special to make it stand out in today's market. The levels look so boring with little to nothing happening. The gameplay is good but it doesn't feel as fun as it used to. Just not enough new here.

This game looked like it might have had some potential as a bloody slaughter fest and just all around fun fighting game but was completely wasted. I thought it was gonna be all hype like MK 9 but instead i got a tech demo for a never released Barbie game. I'll give this game a 2/10 because of the incredible music but that's really the only great thing about it. Overall, terrible game play, ugly visuals, and a limited roster of uninspired, generic characters.

So much fun! and the fighting mechanics is incredible! I prefer this game and it's season DLC over MK9. So glad they never gave up on this game and keep supporting it.

I'm digging the combat not too scrub friendly, but not too hard at entry level.Good connections (heard it uses rollback gg),nothing game breaking at launch,small roster right now. One thing i noticed dynamic music (really cranks up when you're in danger,between rounds),rounds similar to Injustice or rather Injustice has one similar to this game.I'd pick it up from the MS store.

There was always huge potential that this was going to be a disaster. For Killer Instinct's triumphant return after the best part of two decades, Microsoft decided to farm the license out to Double Helix Games, a studio responsible for such recent classics as Silent Hill Homecoming and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It also seems as though they weren't given much time to work on it, as clearly it was expected that it would be an Xbox One launch game, so I'm sure a lot of people were expecting a rush-job to be on the cards. Luckily, somehow, the developers have confounded expectations and produced a game more than worthy of the name. Ken Lobb, one of the designers of the original Killer Instinct arcade game, was brought in to oversee production, and they hired a few guys who had previous experience of fighting game development, and it paid off. The new KI feels true to the original vision, very faithful in gameplay terms to the classics but with the responsiveness you would expect of a 2013 title. Everything feels correct, right down to the music. The OTT combo system still takes centre stage but things have been made a lot more interesting by some of the gameplay systems, such as "counter breakers" (which enable you to counter a combo breaker and carry on the combo), as well as the presence of a meter which indicates how long you can keep a combo going before it will end, which means you can plan when to use things like shadow moves (which delay the meter's rise) and instinct mode (which resets it completely) to keep the combo going as long as possible. One star of the show in particular is the excellent Dojo mode, which teaches you first how to play fighting games, and then how to play Killer Instinct. In education terms, it's the best mode of its kind in any fighting game, without exception. Chief quibble aimed at the game by professional reviews is, of course, the lack of content, with only six characters and a paucity of modes at launch. While this is a fair criticism, it's much better to have a lack of content in the game's initial state than for the game mechanics to be substandard. The foundations are there and they're rock solid, and more content is coming in time - two more characters and an arcade/story mode by the end of March 2014 and then another "season" of content (likely another 8+ characters) due towards the end of 2014. Ideally everything would have been available from day one, of course, as now there's a high probability of balancing issues, but the fact that there is a new KI game at all, and that it's this good... I can let it slide.

It's impossible not to compare any 2-d fighting game to the ever expanding library of Arc fighters, and this doesn't stand up. It's not bad, it just lacks...everything that makes Blazblue special. Personality, depth, customization and evolution. It's not a 3-d fighter, it just looks like one. it's damn pretty, i'll give you that, but if yer after mechanics alone, yer still better off with virtua fighter or any Arc fighter.

This game was the reason I bought an XboxONE last year. I have been a fan of killer instinct since the first game, which i played on SNES. I have fond memories of that little black cartridge, me making up nonsense lyrics for Orchid's theme, and me smashing buttons and managing an ultra combo with cinder (how the hell did i do that?). I got KI2 on N64 and for a goo, what, 15 years? I waited for a sequel. When KI was announced for XB1, I flipped. Then I played the game and was immediately transported back to KI1. I honestly don't understand the hatred this game receives. I really don't. I read reviews complaining the game is nothing like the original, and then in the same breath, that the game copies the fighting mechanic from the first game. One reviewer on this site wrote: "The gameplay is straight out of 1997--nothing new here." But in the previous sentence, s/he says that the game is nothing like the originals. What? I hate dubstep. I am ashamed whenever I hear it. But Killer Instinct's soundtrack makes me change my mind. Each of the new tracks I hear has some piece of the original songs. What's even more impressive: I believe no one from the original series worked on this new kI, and yet they still managed to capture that sound that the original games had. That shows you how much time and energy the developers actually put into playing the original games (or at least researching). The characters I will agree do not look as flashy and sexy as, say, the new ones in MKX. However, I think they look way better than the characters in SF4. I'm sorry, at least Jago doesn't look like this thighs are bigger than his head. Can anyone honestly say that they like the SF4 character models better than KI's? Seriously? The combo system in this game is SO addictive. I've fought against a guy who did a triple/230 hit ultra combo against me. Then I discover that that is incredibly difficult to do--it takes a bit of practice. It's so fun to watch/play against someone who really knows what theyre doing in this game. I think the combos look energetic, fun, dynamic, and aggressive. Again, the sound! The sound effects in this game are top notch. Ultra combo hits make their own music! Navigating the menus echoes the KI1 theme! WTF this game is freaking cool. C-C-C-COUNTER BREAKER. ULTRA! all of that mess is back, and better, in my opinion. The pricing model that the game works on is what I enjoy. Many game companies nowadays are releasing incomplete games (Destiny, for example, which I love, mind you), and then charging for DLC not months after the incomplete game is released. I've never played such an honest and friendly game. I really feel like the developers listen to fans and aren't trying to gouge them for money every chance they get. Sure, there are microtransactions, but they do have to make money somehow on the game. They release an incomplete game, and instead of forcing me to pay 60 bucks for it, they say: here, pay 5 bucks per character, or 20 bucks per season, and we'll keep you updated on when new seasons and characters and game modes come out. How friendly is that? I love it. The new season changes and improvements tell me that the developers are truly devoted to fans. Kan-ra is so freaking cool. Cinder is back. Riptor. TJ combo. And they are adding new females (ARIA, one of the few female bosses in fighting games I can think of). The UI is sick. I love it. I disagree with the people who think it looks blocky. Check out the small details on Fulgore's costume design. Each color has a different emblem (xbox, double helix, rareware). I honestly feel like there are people who just don't want to like this game, and then they come up with excuses as to why it's bad. Seriously, some people think this is on the same level of bad as RISE OF THE ROBOTS? are you kidding me? go home with that mess. do you know what this game would look like if it were *actually* bad? It would crash every fight (I don't think I've EVER gotten disconnected from a fight in this game; compare that to SCV which drops me if my connection goes below a 3). Battles would lag so much you'd get intimate with Orchid real fast. The game would be broken in deep ways: combos wouldn't connect because of balancing issues; one character could beat the rest because with relative ease since he has a move that was OP. The soundtrack could have NOTHING to do with the original KI games. The storyline wouldn't even mention ultratech. Do you see where I'm going here? Do we now know what is truly a bad game? Class dismissed. Seriously, for everyone who hopped up here and gave the game a ZERO (*facepalm*, seriously, again, a zero? that's reserved for games that don't even boot up properly), why don't you carefully remove your head from your rear end and go play it again.

The Game is absolutely AMAZING. One of THE best fighting game soundtracks ever made (by 1 Mick Gordon), Killer Instinct is a great revamp of KI 2 more then classic KI. Easy to pick up and play, the only people who give it 1s and 2s are those who don't go into training dojo for 15 minutes. You can LITERALLY learn all basic moves and combos in 15 minutes. Auto-Doubles are a very easy way to combo the way YOU like, and it's all mind games w/ combo or counter breakers. This game has a very low learning curve, but once you delve above rank 13 or so, you get to manuals, which is where the "experts" will start to shine. But if you're a regular online warrior you can easily get in on the game that is pretty much Xbox One's best Exclusive. Yes, it's 40 dollars for both season's combo breaker packs. If you are a true fan or like costumes or just want to support KI in general, pick up both Ultra which is 80. Especially now for Season 1 that you don't have to wait for characters. Or mix and match however you want. Season 3 is confirmed so base your money on that. Control 10/10 - Dojo mode is a breeze Soundtrack 10/10 - Godlike Graphics 8/10 - Some classic costumes leave questioning, but other then that it's a beauty Story -3/10 but it Doesn't matter it's a FIGHTING GAME. Ultratech = BAD FIGHT ON

Disappointing cash grab. Crappy controls, slow or no responses, inconsistent. Bad multiplayer, constant desyncs, quite a lot of lag, 'unable to create multiplayer game please try again'. Boring and/or exploitative characters. Very few interesting game mechanics. If you're bored, give it a try but move on quickly.

(Seson 1) I received a free code for the full version of this game, but I opted to purchase the full version so that I could get the original arcade release of Killer Instinct 1... at the time, KI1 was what made the purchase worthwhile for me. The Xbox One Killer Instinct felt unfinished and repetitive with very little to keep me coming back to play.. No story mode, no finishers, few finished characters, etc.; quite disappointing. As time went by and updates were released, the game became more polished and more features were added. The addition of a story mode was exciting to me, as was the addition of some classic KI characters such as Glacius, Fulgore, Spinal and Saberwulf. Season 2 promises to continue to shape Killer Instinct into the game that fans have been begging for.... One stage "fatality" has been added and hopefully, more will follow. The game play mechanics are rock solid, new menu system is very polished, and I'm excited to see what the KI team has in store for fans. (Please, don't let us down.,, so far, so good.)

Killer Instinct is EXACTLY how Modern Fighters should feel! I won't lie: I bought an Xbox One exclusively for this game. As a diehard Nintendo fanboy, I've grown up with Jago, Orchid, Glacius and rest. But, those games didn't age too well. Choppy animations, Cookie Cutter characters (everyone throws fireballs, has a Dragon Uppercut, ect ect), and lack of replay value. KI 3 (as I'll call the X1 version) takes the game mechanics and refines them to perfection. Attacks, Specials, Combos, and Combo Breakers make up the essentials of the fights. Shadow meters build and allow for super charged attacks with various benefits. There is a Rock, Paper, Scissor system under the hood that makes the game a giant mind game against your opponent. Do you go for a manual combo (harder to pull off but harder to break)? Or a quick and easy less damaging combo? What about a few fireballs at a distance to dram them in, then get them with an Shadow Opener? Game Modes are: Arcade (with 3 endings per character), VS (online and off), Training Dojo (Boot Camp), Practice, and Survival. Items can be unlocked for character customization to add flair. All this for $20. This is an INSANE deal for fighting fans. Next Gen graphics, gameplay, and characters that all have different play styles. A Must Buy for any X1 owner

This game was awesome! The announcer Ranging from DOUBLE to ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! makes you feel like you accomplished something. Also the characters have great new designs, Graphics are great, a bit hard to figure out at first but then you get the hang of the combos. This game is worth the money

Unless you aren't into the disappointingly minimal and unoriginal -- even after DLC has been purchased, and there is a lot -- overall atmosphere in comparison to many other greater fighters, don't let its minor flaws negate the experience; Killer Instinct revives everything that made its 90s predecessors classics and refines it marvelously, it's especially done well thanks to some striking visuals and casual and competitive friendly controls.

My little brother bought this game and he enjoys it. I'm not really into fighting games but this one is okay. Not many characters unfortunately and some play better than others. The game looks great and is fairly fun, but I personally wouldn't pay too much for this one.

I can not stress my overall fun and disappointment right now for this game. I will just wait until the full game is completed with all the characters! I hope a COMPLETE PC port comes out next year! It is fun but insulting. It's like a tired out series that slaps you in the face while you are forcing yourself to have a good time while trying to ignore the constant slaps.

Fantastic fighting game, I´ve been playing for a lot of hours and still addicted to it. I don't give it a 10 because it has a lot of glitches, some minors, others not so much, including loosing all the tiles and statics. If you want a good fighting game and link combos this is for you.

Best game ever, you start with only one character and I love microtransactions, gets me off, makes me feel all hot and gooey....Nowadays its rare that rarely puts out good games anymore, but this game is great at manipulating people into microtransation... MMM my favorite with a side of bacon... I wanna put killer instinct as the hall of fame game

This game is available as a free game from the Xbox One store. So honestly, I can't see how some people are complaining about the price of the game. IMO if you rate a game you can get for free, lower than 5, your probably not giving the game a fair review. You can play the game, compete in online competition or in single player survival mode, and I believe against friends offline and not pay one red cent. The free version comes with one character opened, allows you to earn points and open other areas. I didn't play it enough to see if you can unlock other characters for free. Though it never seemed to unlock any new characters even after myself and 2 others played a couple hours each. Granted most of mine was in the dojo, learning the ins and outs of the combo, counter, shadow, instinct and counter system. The dojo mode is pretty extensive. And perfect for teaching those not used to fighting games like Killer Instinct to learn all the combos and in and outs of the game, along with it's new features. Of course being free there are the micro transactions where the company plans to make it's money back on you. Which is to be expected, as the company has to make profits some how. For 20 bucks you can unlock 6 characters, plus 2 new ones that will be released later. With several updates and characters already planned. Which is probably a bit overpriced for all but the hardcore Killer Instinct fans. IMO 5-10 bucks would be a fair price to unlock all the other characters. As there are only 6 in total. For 40 bucks you unlock all of the other content, including stuff to make characters look different. PLUS THE ORIGINAL KILLER INSTINCT FOR YOUR XBOX ONE! Again obviously something hardcore Killer Instinct fans would love. And something casual players would probably do best to avoid. The graphics are nice, the characters seem to move pretty fast. Online doesn't seem to have any real problems that I or my friends seemed to experience. Over all it's a typical 90's combo masher fighting game, with some updates to try to keep it interesting. Some of those updates may be very frustrating to those used to the original game, who didn't take the time to train in the games dojo mode. As they will have no idea why certain things are happening. Like someone countering your huge combo. You getting stunned by a bad choice. Or someone healing themselves. Obviously, if your not into the combo mashing fighting games this is not the title for you. But the free version is a nice addition to your Xbox One collection and is great for when you have some friends who like to compete in the 90's style fighting games over. When you no longer want it, go to your apps section, hit the start button on your joystick and delete the game from your system. No big deal. The thing that can be most frustrating about this game and other multiplayer online games for the Xbox One, is if you get in the online matches and you end up against people who are obviously ranked much better than yourself. It can ruin your gaming experience. The ranking systems early on, don't seem to really be able to accurately detect players skill sets. Which can lead to player frustration. Either because you have no competition, or some of the players you face may be impossible for someone of your skill level to beat. Though this shouldn't be a huge problem for serious fans of the original Killer Instinct game as they probably know most of the moves already. And will have a smaller learning curve as they adapt to the new stuff.

I would normally not even bother writing a review for a game let alone giving a game a 10. This game though is amazing. The game is friendly to newer players who might not be great at fighting games. They are able to jump right in and have a great time. This game has the best training that I have ever seen in a fighting game. It teaches you basics so that you can play any fighting game not just this one. The combat system is really great! There is something for everyone! Mind games, combos, combo breakers, bluffs etc! This game has it all! ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is how you continue a game. I played the originals and loved them! But this, this is a work of art: Graphically this game is amazing, all the particle effects look awesome and don't distract enough to keep you focused on those combos with the high resolution stages and at a locked 60FPS that's just to marvel at. The speed of combat when compared to the originals, makes the originals look like playing a chess game without the clock. I though KI was fast originally, but this games has caused me the inability to play the original, simply because the speed comparison is so radical! The re-imagining of the characters are beautifully done, Spinal now looks like an undead nightmare and not some generic skeleton (Not that I'm complaining as the tech at the time of the original wouldn't allow for an amazingly detailed character). The online, the ping is amazing! There is that occasion of a lagging match, but 90% of the time it is just so seemingly lag free I forget I'm playing online! I only have one complain and that's the lack of story mode, but which KI had a story mode? This is a game I am looking forward to seeing develop! The Speed, The Graphics, The Pure Sheer Awesomeness that is: "KILLER INSTINCT!"

Killer Instinct is pretty much every other fighter title you've played before, but it offers some cool bits that make it worth playing if you're a dedicated fan to the genre. It's also the only game of its kind on these next generation consoles and can be a good competitive title for you an another friend or two when a game like Battlefield may seem too big for the moment.

This is the first fighting game I've ever played and I hugely enjoy it, the action is intense and complex making it engaging you want to play just one more match all the time to try something out, despite only 8 characters in season 1 each one is incredibly different to another in the way they play and in appearance, it also takes time to master each character properly and focus on using them to the best of their abilities. Graphics are beautiful with particle effects showing the stage when special moves are performed with well modelled and animated characters all running at an unflinching 60 fps. At the time of writing this the game has not many game modes with only 1 Vs. 1 matches and a survival mode with ranked and unranked multiplayer however arcade modes and a campaign has been confirmed to be added in March free of charge in addition to a steady stream of updates and balancing. My only issue is that I wish all the content was available from launch and there was more customisation for the characters, but for next gen graphics and gameplay for only $20 it is very well priced.
