Title: Review: Samurai Western (PS2)
Post by: schild on June 07, 2005, 10:30:00 AM
I forgot to mention it in the article, but whoooweeee, were the voiceovers just shy of being total crap. (http://www.f13.net/index2.php?subaction=showfull&id=1118165330&archive=&start_from=&ucat=2&)

Edit: In summary, if you played and enjoyed games like Final Fight, Streets of Rage, Bad Dudes, etc - you may want to actually read the review and get the game.

I've never even heard of any of those games but I read the review and ordered the game anyway. Just because....

You've been good to me before, so I'll look for this based solely on your review.

Actually, what sold me was "pirate hat" as equipment.

Yup. Other than the uneven difficulty due to weapons, I'm enjoying the game immensely EBGames and all those other shops should have it in stock today, at the latest tomorrow.

Oh right, you can also play as a cowboy dude with six-shooters. I think it's coop. I need to have a friend over to find out. That information wasn't on the package mine came in, sigh. Sorry for leaving the info out.

Co-op?!  Gunning down banditos with my closest amigos?  So going onto my Gamefly queue.


Edit: Or. . uh. . slicing down banditos.  Why can't anyone make a fucking straight co-op western?  Why can't I initiate the last charge of Wyatt Earp and his band of immortals?

Because you have a faggy Batman kissing Robin icon.

What?  It's as good a reason as any.

Hehehe. But it's watercolored. You see, it's art. Or something. Definately something.

I like the fact that this game is mostly slashing as opposed to shooting. You see, I don't have a keyboard and mouse on my ps2 with which to aim. Samurais kick ass for that reason alone.

You have no idea (http://www.artnet.com/artist/424157172/mark-chamberlain.html) (NSFW) how faggy it could have gotten.

I do like auto-aiming samurai.  Auto-aiming six-shooters are okay, too.

That's not art. That's a cry for help.

Wow. Those paintings were horrendous. Bravo. I need to go light my face on fire now.
