Networking quirks aside, Deadliest Warrior offers loads of enjoyment for its $10 entry fee. It strips away the mountains of abstruse techniques which characterize most modern fighting games, and revives the accessible short-form action of realistic brawlers like Bushido Blade. It's incredibly fun, and addictive, and -- fine -- on top of its strong core mechanics, it also lets you fight a Pirate against a Viking, which is utterly ridiculous and, in a way, magical.
A look back at the fighting game Bushido Blade, and why the series deserves a reboot or remake on modern consoles.
Ohhh I would totally love that. I miss that game. I believe it had a sequel that was pretty good as well (checking now) yup. I remember playing both games, the second was definitely a bit more polished but both were lots of fun in their own way.
I would enjoy SE making a new game in the series. But I would also like to see the first two come out on PSN.
I never got to play it, so it would be great to have a chance on modern consoles.
"eadliest Warrior spawned two Xbox Live DLC games, Deadliest Warrior: The Game in which the player fights as different types of warriors throughout history (ninja, viking, knight, etc.), and Deadliest Warrior: Legends in which the player fights different military historical figures (Alexander the Great, Shaka Zulu, Joan of Arc, etc.)"
Games publisher Spike Games has assembled a collection of exclusive footage from all three seasons of the reality TV show Deadliest Warrior and the two PSN/XBLA video games from the series, Deadliest Warrior: Legends and Deadliest Warrior: The Game in a single disc retail boxed edition entitled Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat.
The collection is set to arrive at retailers in December 2011, just in time for the holidays, and in addition to the pair of previously downloadable games and TV footage, includes all of the additional DLC content or game enhancements.
I only buy retail games so I am in great shape to get the most out of the complete package.
I didnt like it as much as most fighting games.
I can't be the only one surprised that the game has scored this well, it didn't look to great from the little I saw of it before hand.
That was a pleasant surprise. I heard this was going to be rubbish.
Good review
For $10, I may have to pick it up! ...on PSN though.
