FNG

(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.)

Beautiful visuals with a promising story and addictive game play / leveling system... for the 1st few hours. Once you finally achieve a "level 20", you'll be playing the same levels, strikes and stories for hours and hours. When a method of quickly leveling up or farming items/weapons pops up in the community, Bungie is quick to patch it from the game. Found a successful 6 person team strategy or a way to beat that super-tough boss by spamming grenades until you finally knock it off the level only to find you didn't earn that precious raid armor you've been tirelessly playing for? Don't worry, Bungie promises to patch that too, only to make the game more difficult.. Finally obtained that Exotic weapon after 50-75 raid runs? You guessed it, Bungie will "NERF" that weapon because it was "too powerful". I loved this game until I completed the "story" mode (which doesn't feel complete in the least) and Bungie released the 1st patch. I'm at the "like" stage after 2 patches... I'm sure the next patch will push me to the "F-THIS GAME" stage. Thankfully, this game has a fairly high trade-in value. (until other people start telling their friends about how over-hyped and under-delivered this game is)
