With fighting games coming back into vogue in such a big way over the past year, anticipation was quite high for a next-gen entry into the Samurai Showdown legacy. Unfortunately, bad design choices, uneven gameplay, and a limited number of gameplay options ruin this title for all but the most hardcore Samurai Showdown fan.
Compared to other beat ‘em ups it lacks polish and epic sized modes but SNK Playmore has reanimated this series to good effect with a solid combat system.
The nice characters cast can't save the game from its too reductive game structure, its surpassed technical making and especially its repetitive gameplay.
This new version of the classic franchise is far from being an interesting experience, appealing to watch, or to a certain extent; fun to play. I could see the die-hard fan having a good time, but for anyone who is looking to get something different (or better) than the most recent fighting game releases such as Tekken 6 and Super Street Fighter IV, I’m not sure it would be a good idea to shed money for this piece of boredom and sourness.
A total Failure. Ugly to see, too hard to master and really poor on the gameplay front.
Unfortunately, the bare mechanics of the game make every character boring very quickly.
A tired and outdated fighter and another failed attempt by SNK to update one of its classic franchises.
