While SS has its work cut out for it against the likes of Street Fighter II, the fabulous fighters is in may ways clearly superior to the original SF II. With pet attackers, heart stopping graphics and wild weapons galore, this is one Samurai that fights with honor!

Digital Press - Classic Video Games
Samurai Showdown is a game that could never be lost in a crowd. Considering the crowd of fighting games flooding the market in the early and mid-90's, that says something. It's a rare game that encompasses everything right about the genre and expands the category further. With very few things wrong with this game (if anything), what we have here is simply one of the most well thought out, shockingly perfect fighting games of all time.
