Probably the coolest game I've ever played. It plays like Duke Nukem in the orient, with a highly sarcastic ninja kickin' butt.

Shadow warrior has elements that Duke doesn't, however. You can drive tanks, forklifts, boats and several other vehicles as you roll over your enemies (where several gibs fly all over the place). The carnage in this game is amazing as you hack with your katana (Oh, look! Split personality), use twin uzis and even an atomic bomb (It is good day to die).

And did I forget to mention the anime women who all have their own insulting reasons they won't talk to you (I don't think my mother would approve is about the nicest thing they say)?

Also, later in the game you get to take over a destroyer long enough to launch a couple of missles (Tora, Tora, Tora)!

The humor is high, the violence is amazing and the story isn't bad. If you love the orient, Duke Nukem 3D and sarcasm... this game is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars I like Beam Weapons!, July 5, 2000

Shadow Warrior is an amazingly fun game to play. Using the old Duke Nukem 3D engine, it looks kind of dated now, but Lo Wang himself more than makes up for this. Using a variety of fun weapons, such as his katana, uzis (up to 2 at once), nuclear missiles, fire-spewing heads of decapitated enemies, and so on, this samurai is trying to avenge the murder of his master. Don't look for a whole lot of plot development, that's not the point.

This is the funniest game ever. There are witty retorts for every situation, weapon, and enemy...However, even on easy mode, this game can be remarkable hard because it doesn't take much to kill Lo. Other than the basic enemies, almost everyone can kill you real fast in a one-on-one, and when you run out of ammo, it auto switches, usually unfortunately to an explosive weapon. Prepare to save a lot.

Even so, I definitely recommend this game. It's a classic masterpiece.

I play this game again today a dozen years after it came out. If you are looking to kick some tiny snake coward ass this is the game for you. I gave it to a friend of mine a few weeks ago and he hasn't stopped playing it yet. To me, along side Duke Nukem two of the best games ever invented. I'm sure it has made 3DRealms a ton of money. GET THIS AND HAVE FUN.
