Dimension: 3
Obviously the fact the game is kind of an improved version of the original IK makes the dimension a lot smaller.
The Flair: C
There are some graphical and sound improvements, animations and sound effects are still great in this game.
The Feel: E
The formula from the previous title has been enhanced with new and better moves, bringing more fluidity to the fights.
The Fuel: C
The mini games are far more fun and interesting than in the previous IK. Playing against two opponents is also a very original way to reapproach the formula.
Excellent

Classic Score
Conclusions
IK+ is an improved version of the fighting classic that successfully preserves the great gameplay of the original. The addition of new moves, mini-games, and the option to fight against two opponents are significant improvements, making it well worth revisiting the karate discipline.
