GamePro
Between the overly simplistic fighting system and weak enemy A.I., the game is way too easy to beat—you can successfully complete the Tournament mode by doing nothing but mashing the A button.

A strangely bland fighting game. [Jan 2002]

Xbox Exclusive
Even though this isn't a fast paced game and you may find it to be a little more dragging than your usual fighting game, the different objectives that you complete in your fights are something that is fairly new and innovative.

There's no shortage of better ways to spend your hard-earned gaming money, even when you're rummaging through the bargain bins.

If the lame fighting mechanics, bad music, boring environments (each city is represented by a bare wooden stage with a different backdrop curtain) and lack of gameplay modes weren't enough, the single biggest problem with Kabuki Warriors' single player game is that it is RIDICULOUSLY easy.

Any game that has you fighting against a guy with an umbrella while wearing more makeup than Tammy Faye Baker should never have been made.

All Game Guide
Players remotely interested in the genre should boo these Kabuki Warriors off the stage and wait for a more promising title to appear.

There are much better things to spend one’s money on. Like root canals.

One of the most painful fighting games I've ever experienced...Fifty bucks is a whole lot of money to spend on a good laugh and a table coaster... or a plastic shooting pigeon... or a frisbee... you get the idea.

Look, just buy DOA3 and forget this unhappy mess. [Jan 2002, p.42]

I almost had a brain hernia trying to rationalize why there wasn't an Atari 2600 controller in my hand. Sure, we have the JUMP BUTTON and a frigging BLOCK BUTTON, but why is there only ONE ATTACK BUTTON?!

A miserable experience. [Jan 2002, p.96]

GameSpot
One of the worst games to be released this year or any year, on the Xbox or any other platform. The fact that Microsoft's supposedly rigid approval process allowed this game to see the light of day is simply disgusting.

A joke. The fighters you face early on are so easy to beat, I literally won a match just bashing the controller against my ass. [Dec 2001, p.109]
