    An unnecessary port of an obsolete game.

    Even if the translation and menus are busted "Are you sure to quit?" and the game seems archaic by today's standards there is still plenty of fun to be had.

    The problems lie mostly with the game design, which is enjoyable, yet flawed. While Samurai Shodown V isn't necessarily a bad game, it doesn't quite hold up to previous entries in the series.

    Granted, Xbox Live capability is a great incentive, but considering the pedigree the Samurai Shodown series has of quality fighting games, its biggest fans will come away from this game wanting more.

    It's got lots of moves, a deep fighting system, and the online play is a big plus, but it really isn't that enjoyable in the end. Many of the characters play very similarly, it looks and sounds like it could have been just as good on a PSone.
