5.0 out of 5 stars Old-school Soul Calibur, April 18, 2004
This review is from: Samurai Shodown (Video Game)
Before there was Soul Calibur there was Samurai Showdown. OK, so it's sort of a lame comparison, but Samurai Shodown does make me think of Soul Calibur, because the similarities are there. It's a fighting game where, instead of relying upon mere punches and karate kicks, you're wielding broadswords and cleavers (though sometimes your weapon does get knocked out of your hands and you have to restort to fists and feet, which is a pretty cool touch of realism). The characters are colorful and varied: from big bruisers to samurais to slim, unassuming swordsmen. Also present is a ninja and a chick in plate mail armor and a cute little kung fu Asian girl with a bird. The fighters are big and well-detailed; the graphics are pretty faithful to the arcade version. The backgrounds are nice to look at too. In terms of actual play, there are a lot of combos and special attacks that you can execute, and Samurai Shodown seems to rely more upon strategy and critical hits then the typical 2D fighter, which is a good thing. You will definitely want a 6-button controller for this one. Are there any faults? The only flaw I can think of is that the game could have been a little faster. Sometimes the Genesis' CPU seems to get a bit bogged down. However, I am uncertain as to whether this is really a hardware limitation or simply game design, because I've seen Samurai Shodown in the arcades before (uh, quite a few years ago) but I don't remember how fast it played. Regardless of the speed issue, Samurai Shodown is one of the best 16-bit fighters available (the Sega CD version is the best 16-bit fighter, period). I like it a lot better than Street Fighter II. The fighting, characters, and the inclusion of ancient weapons make it a lot more interesting to play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Famous, Incredible Sega Game!, July 11, 2003
By 
David Adam Kremer (Santa Barbara, CA

Santa Barbara, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samurai Shodown (Video Game)
I was so amazed that the game is so brilliant. It provides many obstacles to a fighter once the video game masterer passes through one of his enemies in every stage of battling. In fact, anyone who has reached late adolescence or early adulthood in the 1990s will be very thrilled with this special kind of spitial skills. I bought myself the entire Sega game online after my birthday days have ended and gained some exprience in that area.

Apparently, these games are no longer sold at nearby video game stores, so the only place for right now is the internet. All of the sudden, this a must own that you'll actually enjoy!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect in every way, August 24, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Samurai Shodown (Video Game)
I played this at an arcade in a city I was visiting once and this game just blew me away the graphics, everything. So when I found out they had it on sega/snes, I just had to get it. A perfect rendetion of it's arcade counter part.
