Comment: 2D Samurai Shodown instead of 3D? That about sums it up... It's simply put, not as fun to play as some of the other 3D fighting games that were popular when this game was released. And if you're a fan of the Samurai Shodown series, you're better off playing a 2D one. However, the story is good, the character designs are nice, and the presentation wasn't bad for the time.
