Good grief. The King of Fighters 2001 was one of two installments within this beloved SNK franchise to be produced by Korean company Eolith alongside developer BrezzaSoft, the latter of whom including former SNK employees at the time. While I can't speak much about the gameplay, 2k1 at the very least seemed unbalanced, and adding insult to injury were the 2D combatant sprites (they began to show their age) battling against dull stage backgrounds on top of character portraits so stylized they came off as narmtastic. Don't even get me started on the OST; the game's shoestring budget shows most in regards to the music. Themes are usually performed via a rock-meets-techno approach, plus little variety to boot... which would be alright if the compositions weren't super repetitive! They suffer from bearing off sound quality, too - hope you like hearing what resembles farts 'cause the score has plenty in store. KOF 2001 admittedly has a few nice jams scattered throughout, but the negative far outweighs the positive in this case. Angel nominates: "Kyokugen Fight," "The Queen of Fighters," "NESTS, Ruler Company in the Darkness," "0," and "I'm Truly the Strongest" to a degree.
