A review is at gamefaqs:

I tought they were taking their damn time for this game?
Well, at least seems better than part one....
KoF EX2 does look like very good . EX1 was also good (just with a little hard playability) .
By the way,have you ever noticed how the EX games seem to match the KoF story ? I mean,look at the teams in EX2 :
- Kyo teamed up with Moe and that new guy,I think his name is Reiji (in KoF'2001,Kyo and his partners decided to end the team,or something like that)
- The Art of Fighting Team is now composed by Ryo,Yuri and Takuma (in KoF'2001,Robert got angry with them ... maybe he decided to leave the team for a while ?)
- Kim's Team has himself,Chang and Choi (in KoF'2001,Kim and Jhun had a fight;as for Mei-Li,maybe she went back to her fight against evil,doing it her own way)
Maybe I'm wrong,but it seems too much coincidence ...
Oh,and Iori's new allies seem to be very cool,finally he found a good replacement for Mature and Vice ...
I can be any person in the world ... maybe I'm this person right in front of you ... or maybe I'm not !!

Yeah I played the rom for a little bit this morning and it's a definite improvement over the first EX. The controls are more responsivie... but still not perfect. It's especially hard to execute an attack right after you get up. The sprites look great and it's still teams of 3, but instead of choosing a striker only character, you can use your teammates as strikers. The backgrounds are all static and are mostly from KOF2k with some decent original ones. The new characters look a little out of place... you can tell their sprites are made for the GBA, but they still look good. I played through with Kyo's hero team and Moe plays the same and their new team mate is Reiji, who's like a mix of Chizuru, Shingo, and Kim. He's an all around good character with some good DMs. Oh yean and about SDMs, now there's this lame pixelation effect for all DMs and SDMs, and no energy flash on your character. As far as I can tell there's no armor mode or max mode, but I never use those anyway. The boss is cheap as hell. It's this guy named Sinobu who's basically Goenitz junior. I still haven't beaten him... he uses the same cheap ass cyclone attacks. I haven't played with Iori's new teammates yet but Jun looks pretty cool.
Oh great- the Goenitz version was only the first form of Sinobu.

Is it difficult overall? I mean, I got all through the first one the 1rst time I played it only moving and jumping away and pushing the buttons randomly. Only Iori made me spend a few continues, and I suck at fighting games.
Himawari chan ain't she cute?

If anything it's way too easy... Sinobu is the only kind of hard thing about the game. If you attack from a distance he'll nail you with his cyclones... but he's just like a weaker Goenitz. He doesn't guard low so once you know his pattern he's very easy to beat.
I was bored so I spent the afternoon going through the game... overall it's pretty good. The music is much better and more voices were added this time. There's a convenient command list on the pause screen. There's 7 teams compared to the 6 from the first KOF ex, the Iori team is new... and King is replaced with Yuri and Beni is replaced with Reiji. Some things were cut back, the backgrounds have no animation and there's no intro... but it makes up for it with better controls, very good artwork, and just an all around balanced fighter... but it's only entertaining for about one afternoon.
Here's some shots I took-
Reiji-
Chizuru style attack
Dive Kick DM
Jun- she's the worst character in the game, she only has a dumb slide kick, a copy of Clark's aerial grapple move, and a dumb grab move with terrible range.
Dumb move
Even dumber SDM
Miu- she's actually pretty cool. She has a double projectile like King and a fast slash move like Leona.
Raven feather thingy
Slashing SDM
Sinobu- he's probably playable somehow... he's just your typical cheesy SNK boss. I'm guessing he's somehow linked to Goenitz.
Goenitz Jr.
Super Goenitz Jr.
The game's really only worth playing through to seeing the artwork in the endings... some of the best ending artwork I've seen since Garou Iori Team ending

OK, I played it last night, and I couldn't put the game down! This is a good game. A lot of combos from the original KOF games work on this one like Kyo's down to forward+K,K then a low RED Kick after it.
I like how they grade your character. I got Lv.8 Orochi Master with Terry, and Lv. 5 Silver Wolf with Kyo.
Reiji looks like he should be in KOF 2003, I would put him in it. Either that or put him in his own game, he's got a star on his back and wears a jacket. If that doesn't say SNK main character I don't know what does. Moe should also be on KOF 2003 with him.
Miu and Jun....well, they're OK. I'm not a big fan of them quite yet. Jun is cooler than Miu though. They seem a little too cartoonish for me.
The boss is cheap too, not Rugal 2k2 cheap, but he's pretty bad, but if you can get close to him he's pretty easy.
I had got a secret, but I couldn't understand it, but when I went to the secret stuff, nothing showed up.
Anyway, I really like this game, and I think it's leaps and bounds better than the last one.
I give the game a 7.5 out of 10!
