IGN: Samurai Showdown Anthology Review

For only $20, Samurai Showdown is packing quite a lot of classic 2D fighting into one package, which IGN alwayss appreciate. But the super fuzzy sprites just don't look as nice anymore, especially in Samurai Showdown VI when they sit on the title's surprisingly slick backgrounds. Then again, hardcore fighting game fans rarely commit to the experience because of the graphics -- it's all about gameplay. This anthology has the classic gameplay some of you will recognize and that in itself is the game's main selling point.
