Binding: Video Game EAN: 0018484003011 ESRB Age Rating: Everyone Platform: NEOGEO Pocket Color Editorial Review: Editorial Review: 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:

Rating: - Amazing replay valueI haven't been this hooked on a game since Street Fighter 2 had me pushing coins into it's arcade console. This is incredible for a handheld machine, this is the sort of game you compare to Gameboy fighting games and just laugh. The characters are great, each having 2 different styles, the visuals are beutiful and the replay value value is unprecedented in a handheld game. You can collect cards by completeing the game or by achieving good fights, the cards improve the characters or unlock special ... Read More Rating: - Simply the BEST handheld fighter... EVER.This game is the number one reason to own a neogeo pocket. The graphics are totally astounding, and the "card collecting" system adds alot to the replay value. I have had this game only one day and the "time-played" indicator on the options screen reads 8 and a half hours. To put it this way- I bought it expecting a good game. What I recieved was the best fighting game EVER on ANY handheld console. |
