A critic's job pretty much only consists of blasting games like this. Based on a television show? Must be bad. A fighter game without hadoukens and spinning kicks? *cringe*... It is all very unfair. Try the game for yourself. If you have fond memories of classics such as Bushido Blade and/or you can't stomach today's overrated fighting games, this game is an accessible and addictive entry into the genre. Every swing counts and the way characters become stained with blood and have their limbs crippled/dismembered really adds a gritty element to the game. And despite a sketchy sound design and a few instances of lag, I couldn't help but let out an involuntary "YEAH!" the first time I instantly killed an enemy by spiking their head with a pike and nailing it to the wall in one clean throw. Seriously, don't the the minor flaws of this game bog it down for you. And ignore the petty critics who cut some corners with assumptions in order to get their job done quickly.… Expand

The realism factor, area based damage and critical one shot kills make the action intense! For $10 dollars you can't go wrong!… Expand

   For 800 ms points its a extremely good buy, Plenty of fighters and customizations to chose from and an excellent combat system. the gore in For 800 ms points its a extremely good buy, Plenty of fighters and customizations to chose from and an excellent combat system. the gore in this game is the same you would expect from the show. Its very fun to just watch. And expect Future dlc to contain season 2 fighters. Must buy for Deadliest Warrior fans or just fighting game fans in general… Expand

   Deadlist Warrior for the XBLA is a very enjoyable game! So long as you go into with a correct mindset. Deadlist Warrior is a game that bringsDeadlist Warrior for the XBLA is a very enjoyable game! So long as you go into with a correct mindset. Deadlist Warrior is a game that brings me back to the good old days of fighting games like Bushido Blade on the PSOne. Games where you can die in just one or two strikes and requires lots of blocking and proper parrying if you really want to succeed.
   
   Of course it takes some of historys warriors through out the time (mind you, no modern warriors, play Call of Duty if you want that). All with their own strengths and weaknesses. You will find a preference to the one you particularity like, weather it is the speed or the ninja or the defense of the Spartan. They are all fun to romp through at least once.
   
   The single player is nothing more than arcade mode and bonus stages in between. The real meat of the game is just the thrill of playing it with your friends! The game also has some really fun limb hacking and decapitating to keep stuff fun. Yes, it isn't the most deep experince in the fighting game genre you can get, but it is just crazy and fast paced enough to keep your attention. The game is only $10 and supports Xbox Live to fight your friends (or random ass people) online. With the amount of blood and gore and simple yet almost complex battle system, it is a fun game to play with your buddies.… Expand

But there's not, even though this game Is about historicalFor a game about warriors you'll think that there would be a story mode. But there's not, even though this game Is about historical characters. The game only have two different long range,close combat, and projectills these two different one's Is defult and unlockable. Same thing with outfits 1 defult and 1 unlockble. If you played as all the characters you'll unlock a sightly fun challenge mode It's not really the best. But things I like about this game is it's gore, you can decapitate opps but It doesn't end their. You can peform these bloody finishers by pressing X A, Y B or B A their pretty cool expect the ninja's finisher. The ninja finisher is dry. If you press Y on the menu screen It'll give you bio's about the warriors and their weapons. You can go to extra and change the color of your warriors outfit but It's pretty dry. The animations aren't so good, this is minor but when the your character hoster their weapons the animation looks a bit goofy. You can only play In 4 stages. You can unlock a fifth stage but It looks lame like the other stages. Pros: Lots of blood and gore. Finishers. Fun mini games. Bio's. Cons: Poor roster(They didn't add the galdiator or the hun even though they were featured In the show before this game). Lack stages. Bad stage designs. Lame costumizations. Lack weapons. Lack outfits. No story or plot to a game about history(It doesn't express It's historical characters. Even with the bio's so it lacks that too)… Expand

I mean this was a poorly done clone of bushido blade, I saw potential in bushido blade, but this game isn't so much a step up as a leap backwards.… Expand

   This has got to be THE WORST arcade game released this year, and perhaps the worst 3D fighting game ever. I was looking forward to it a bit This has got to be THE WORST arcade game released this year, and perhaps the worst 3D fighting game ever. I was looking forward to it a bit because I love fighting games, and am pretty competitive in SSFIV, but this game has taken 3D fighting to a whole new low. Of course complaining without reasons is trollish, so here are my reasons. Please note I played the demo and watch multiple gameplay vids, and I played local MP and the "battle" mode. 1. The characters are not balanced. Spartan can destroy anything with three-five swipes, while with Ninja it takes around six-seven. 2. Dodging is very disorienting. I always have to pause (literally) to see where I just rolled to and which way I need to attack. Also a spartan having a dodge as fast as a Ninja is pretty weak. 3. The long range attacks suck. I really can't say more than that, they are just the worst projectiles ever created. Gimme my Kasumi Ninja fireballs back. 4. The health and damage system is pretty random. Every time I execute a normal combo, the damage always ranges from nothing to an instant kill, and I blame the health system for being VERY low. Yes, I realize this is trying to be "realistic", but that just turns this game into a big hit and run game. 5. The weapons really do not handle very differently, and honestly the characters are a bit similar as well. Even gameplay of the Knight and Samerai just remind me of Spartan and Ninja, and even Ken and Ryu are far more different then these guys. 6. No jumping that I've seen, and the animation, blood, and executions are mediocre at best. 7. The fact that it just doesn't do anything a fighting game should. The controls are stiff, it's incompatible with any fight stick, dodging and blocking are poor, you get disoriented every five seconds, damage outputs are random, strategy is out the window (except for that spam one), and the overall game looks and sounds like a PSOne game. Overall, buy Soul Calibur. It runs circles around this monstrosity. Or even shaq fu, I mean at least it works.… Expand
