    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I have been a big fan of fighting games and the samurai showdown series right from the very first edition, so I had high expectations with the game. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed as the graphics are very good but the game engine is so bad. Collision detection is poor, half the character moves are gone, but worst of all is the difficulty - some matches are dead easy, others, particularly boss matches are nigh on impossible. The final boss is invunerable during part of each match, which is utterly ridiculous! Entertaining for a while, but best avoided.
