Samurai Showdown! 2 transports you to ancient Japan, where you can play one of many powerful samurai fighters. Whether you select Asra, Prompter, or Charlotte, you will have access to several special moves and one particularly striking method of warrior mayhem, known as Taisan Morosumi’s raging heaven. In this sinister fighting game, you can battle head-to-head with swords, fists, and magic in versus, survival, or one-player story modes. We liked the one-player story mode the best, since it is filled with enhanced features that are not standard fare in fighting games, such as witty remarks, dramatic music, and a healthy dose of pomp and circumstance. Once you complete various challenges, you can unlock new “collector cards” that showcase your progress. Each card contains an illustrated graphic that documents your gaming journey.
While we enjoyed the advanced features of this game, we were disappointed to find that you aren’t able to begin where you left off in the storyline during a rematch. Instead, you are forced to start at the beginning. All of the NEOGEO fighting games offer superior animation as compared to the aging Game Boy fighters, but this title offers the most satisfying combination of fast action, precision control, and good looks. –Carrie Bell

“Classic Sega Dreamcast console! Tons of Fun!
“Contoured to perfectly fit a player’s hand, the Nunchuk controller goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. It features the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller, with an analog stick to assist in character movement. Use it to move your characters and have them perform all kinds of specific actions — whether it’s throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants accessibility seldom seen in game controllers.
“The Dreamcast controller offers an analog stick, a D-pad, a Start button, four gaming buttons (labeled A, B, X, and Y), and two analog index finger triggers on the underside. It also contains two slots which fit memory cards or the rumble pack; the uppermost one had a window through which the VMU’s display can be seen.
