Well, despite being a huge fan I wouldn't even consider getting this travesty of a game... This new game is not a true reflection of the franchise, you would be very wrong to think that it is. This new game is actually offensive to some fans.
This is what Sam Sho is all about...
Samurai Shodown is a weapons based fighter that focuses heavily on counter attacking and precise timing, The prime skill of the game is attempting to draw attacks from your opponent in order to make him vulnerable to your own. I consider it the fighting game equivalent of a high stakes poker game. It can make for intense encounters where even the slightest mistake can be very costly. It's extremely fun once mastered, and it certainly requires mastering, it's definitely not a fighter where you can button mash your way through. The games ooze fantastic Japanese style, they all have wondeful colourful art and animation, lashings of blood, and awesome voice work.
If you don't have a Neo Geo knocking around, but do have a Wii, a PSP or PS2:
Samurai Shodown Anthology:

I had reviewed the Anthology on all formats, but I seem to have removed that blog a good while ago.
On Wii it gets *****, the value is great and all the games are Neo Geo perfect. On PSP and PS2, I'd give the game ****, because the resolution and sound take a notable dip in quality on both.
Individual games are available on the Wii's virtual console - 1 - *** 2 - ****
2 is considered the best, but I must say I'm rather partial to Sam Sho 4: Amakusa's Revenge: (review here)
" @HypoXenophobia said:" @xyzygy said:'Cuz I like playing games. lol "" So this new game is terrible? I might give it a rent if I can find it, but man the graphics are bad. "Why not just skip it? "
