Killer fans will want to take this show on the road, because their favorite game is just as much fun on the green screen. Any GB enthusiast facing a long backseat ride home will enjoy this game. Street Fighter II Game Boy has a little more in the gameplay area, but Killer Instinct is more fun.

The question you must ask yourself before buying this game is: Did I like the SNES version because of how good it looked, versus the arcade version or because of how it played. If the latter is your response, check this out. If not, avoid this one.

Another example of an arcade translation that should never have been attempted on the Game Boy. It's fairy simple to figure out why this version of KI is going to go belly up. How can you expect a six-button game to be played on a two-button portable and still be remotely close enough to slap the same name on it? The character animations are a joke, the graphics are hideous and the sound is much more pleasant turned off if you're going to attempt to play this one!
