If You Thought "Super Buddies" Was..
..the funniest movie ever, this game is for you! Let me say up front that I didn't buy this game: it appeared as a "gift" from GOG in my library. I thought it was going to be a serious ninja/martial arts game--or as serious as most martial arts games and movies tend to be. Instead, it was like strolling into a reading room paneled in fine mahogany, choosing a volume richly bound in hand-tooled leather, opening it up, and finding "Hilarious Jokes for Toilet Time." Now, let me hasten to say that the graphics, (except for people's faces which were wooden and cartoony), sound effects, controls, up-leveling, weapons & attacks-adding, skill-laddering(?), and player movement are all generally very good. It's fun looking for money and items in the game's atmospheric and prettily-detailed corners. And almost everything is destructible--the most fun I had in the first few levels/areas was going around in the mob boss's elaborately furnished mansion and slashing or breaking everything to pieces (her goons just stand there and watch), then going out to the mansion's garages and blowing up/setting everything on fire. But the over-the-top destruction of the environment was pretty much the highlight for me. The attempts at humorous dialogue were generally so bad that they were...well, really bad, distractingly bad. The plot was tissue-paper thin (not that it mattered) and the opponents didn't really make much sense: giant killer ants and crab monsters as martial arts opponents? Your armory isn’t exactly old school: if the graceful arc of your katana doesn’t vanquish enemies, you can pull out a machine pistol or .44 magnum or multi-shell shotgun to make a more modern and eloquent statement. As mentioned, the game was a gift--I didn't seek it out. And since this is Shadow Warrior 2, lots of people must have liked it. If the bad humor and general ridiculousness of the story world doesn't get in your way, go for it!
