Samurai Ghost

EGM review

Descend to the Dark Side in T.T.I.'s Samurai Ghost for the Duo.

   As the honorable warrior Kagekiyo, you must defend the Heiki clan from the evil shogun Yoritomo. Andaaba the witch was kind enough to raise you from the dead so you can take on this merciful quest.

   Battle your way through the many zones, avoiding obstacles such as fire bores, flying skullbeasts, and giant blackbirds. Good luck!

4 -Here's a cool idea that becomes disjointed in the course of the execution. While the game does display some visual pizazz, it seems like its at the expense of the game play. Although there's nothing wrong with this cart, today's players have grown to expect more out of their fighting games -and Ghost just doesn't deliver.

6 -If there is one thing to say, this game looks very good. The game play suffers because of the large character size but this works to the benefit of some of the more inexperienced players as the slow speed allows for more reaction time. It is a fun game but just not fast enough for me.

4 -This cart is not the best example of what the Turbo can do. The main character is very large but lacks precise control. You can defend with your sword, but movements are too slow. The sounds could also be better. This game may have fared well if it were released a few years ago.

6 -I would have thought that TTI would be bringing out all the really hot titles from Japan. This one didn't impress me as a spectacular game as I like a lot of action and this one doesn't deliver. Younger players might like it because it is constantly in slow motion. Needs more variety to keep me interested.
