Buy Samurai Shodown! 2
Samurai Showdown! 2 transports you to ancient Japan, where you can play one of many powerful samurai fighters. Whether you select Asra, Prompter, or Charlotte, you will have access to several special moves and one particularly striking method of warrior mayhem, known as Taisan Morosumi's raging heaven. In this sinister fighting game, you can battle head-to-head with swords, fists, and magic in versus, survival, or one-player story modes. We liked the one-player story mode the best, since it is filled with enhanced features that are not standard fare in fighting games, such as witty remarks, dramatic music, and a healthy dose of pomp and circumstance. Once you complete various challenges, you can unlock new "collector cards" that showcase your progress. Each card contains an illustrated graphic that documents your gaming journey. While we enjoyed the advanced features of this game, we were disappointed to find that you aren't able to begin where you left off in the storyline during a rematch. Instead, you are forced to start at the beginning. All of the NEOGEO fighting games offer superior animation as compared to the aging Game Boy fighters, but this title offers the most satisfying combination of fast action, precision control, and good looks. --Carrie Bell Pros: - Cool characters and good fighting
- Eerie music, neat section titles and scenery
- Fair amount of female fighters
Cons: - Realistic violence may not appeal to some concerned parents
- Limited moves due to hand-held console
- Can't pick up where you left off in a game
