  1. Worth Playing

    With 26 characters to play with, even if some of them are completely worthless, Samurai Shodown V is a quality 2D fighter from a developer that usually knows its way around a quality 2D fighter.

    Samurai Shodown V isn't the best looking or most refined fighter available, but it does work well enough including a fully functional online mode.

    You may need to adjust your fighting style in the single-player mode to get the most out of this one but its fun and challenging. With a good online mode and lag free playing, this one is great for any fighting fan to pick up, just not as polished as some others.

    This game belongs on a SNK compilation disc with other classics like "Art of Fighting" and "World Heroes."
