i saw the review given to this game by a few others and it is totally obvious that they must not play this game in head to head action. i'll admit on the one player mode it's lacking in total play action, but in head to head action this is a totally rewarding game. theres enough fighting combinations to keep you going at it, but not two-billion button combinations to forget as soon as you pick a new player. buy it-----you'll love it.

Kichaaaa! This game rocks the gaming world

Ok, let's get to the point. This game doesn't even come close to games like DOA3 or VF4. However, if you are just throwing away your controller down after playing the first match, then you are not really looking into this game deeply enough.

Ok, let's say if I were on a blinddate and my date is this really ugly girl- what should I do? Should I just tell her that she's fat and ugly and I have no interest whatsoever so have a nice day? Or should I at least see if she has a good personality? If you were on a blinddate with one thing in mind, to have a steamy date with a hot babe- then it's unfortunate that you met this ugly girl. However, if you don't mind the outer appearance and are looking for something substantial, then give yourself some time and you will see she's not that bad after all. Not bad after all.
Of course, DOA3 is way hotter than Kabuki Warrior, however, if you spend some 'QUALITY' time with Kabuki Warrior, you will see that she got something to share with you. If you have played the game through the end and HAVE PLAYED THE VERSUS WITH FRIENDS, KNOWING ALL THE MOVES, COMBOS(you are asking me COMBOS?? YES, BELIEVE ME, THERE'S SEVERAL COMBOS YOU CAN DO IN THIS GAME, SURPRISED?), THIS GAME IS TIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO GAME PLAY, REALLY.

You know, Niki was a really hot girl, yet she was high-maintanence(expensive) and arrogant(ok, because of her implant), didn't last that long with her.
However, with Martha, to whom I felt very comfortable with(look at the price!), gave me more of what I really wanted, gameplay, afterall.

If you are looking for a 2D game for XBOX and looking for something simple enough yet gets deeper to play with your kids, this would be an excellent choice. Please, don't judge this game with 1 min. of your playing time.

GET TO KNOW HER, MAN!

{UNDERATED SAMURAI FIGHTING GAME}

Your first strike wins the crowd, your final strike wins the battle! As a fight promoter for a troop of Kabuki Warriors trying to travel from Edo to Ktoto, your actor/samurai must possess both strength and style. Along the way you will have to fight other Kabuki troops, garner the crowds favor to recieve tips, and trade warriors with your defeated counterparts. You will need a very accomplished group of samurai when you arrive in Kyoto to defeat the city's star troop. Fight warriors in winner take-all competitions, on stage across Japan. Pummel opponents and strike dramatic poses to gain the crowd's favor. Twenty-Four characters, with different weapons and unique attacks like fireballs, fire storms, lightning, and tornadoes. I urge you to rent this game before you buy.

A competent 2D fighter for XBOX

Yes, this game has been bashed to death by the gaming press, but believe it or not, some people will actually enjoy this bargain-priced game IF they give it a chance and cast away all the negative comments made by the press.

What we have here is a 2D fighter on the XBOX with some remarkable realistic graphics and movements. The animation and movements of the fighters is almost lifelike, and the power of the XBOX is utilized in ways to make fabric move convincingly and so on. It's amazing that 2D fight fans will salivate over a new 16-bit Neo Geo fighter (beleive it or not, they are still releasing games for that system!) yet will completely overlook Kabuki Warriors. The backgrounds are nice too with some clean 3D polygonal effects thrown in for good measure. Any problems so far? Yes. There seems to be too many variations of just one character and you won't see any of the more spectacular ones until later in the game. The default character that you'll see more often than not is just a boring guy painted in a shade of white who fights with chinese stick weapons. Also, the backgrounds are kinda boring...but this is intended as Kabuki is a type of stage art very popular in Japan.

The game consists of a tour mode and a time attck mode. The tour mode is cool in that you need to earn money to progress to the goal. You earn money by quick, clean victories and for posing and winning the crowd during the fight. After a fight you can trade one fighter to get the best mix of weapon and styles for the fight ahead. The game really picks up when you get some of the characters who fight with the various swords...some insane fun can be had with the usual combos and air juggles you can pull off with these guys!

How does it play? Imagine Killer Instinct-style gameplay where moves and combos can be strung together with simple button presses. Persevere and learn the combo system and you have yourself a competent fighting game. If you just mash the buttons and jump around hoping for random victories, then you'll get less out of this game.

The bottomline: If you enjoy 2D fighting games and you like learning the combo and timing system, then this is definitely a reasonably priced game for you. If you prefer your fighters in 3D, hate fighters or are one of those people who just mash buttons and "hope for the best", then forget it. Get Dead Or ALive 3 instead.

Mediocre at best

The graphics on this game are excellent as is the animation and movements.

However the characters are extremely limited. In most contests I fought the generic computer char, and only fought 4 real characters in over an hour of playing.

I like the concept of the game, and it could be more fun if it had more chars to fight, and more features. For example you earn money in the game, but the only purpose of the money is to travel to the next contest.

It would have been nice if I could have bought new weapons, clothes, etc.

Over all this is simply mediocre and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone other than those who can't afford better games.

Not a horrible game, but definitely not a great game

My boyfriend and I bought this game on a whim. It was a bargain compared to other games like Mortal Kombat, and we figured while it looked hokey, it couldn't be that bad.

It did turn out to be worse than we had thought, but not by much. Despite the mention of a bunch of characters, the game is pretty boring. Some of them have special moves, but most of them done, and sometimes what they call unique character looks the same as another character, it just has a different name and wardrobe.

The single player mode is boring, you just try and earn a bunch of money so you can skip stops on the way to the capital, but it seems like no matter how much you earn, you can never move more than like 8 stops ahead. It's like the computer calculates how much traveling expenses are in such a way you're forced to play so many rounds.

The thing that was the worse for me was the soundtrack and noises. The Warriors make this sound that completely destroys any hope I had for concentration. I just laugh when they make their fighting whoops and dances because it sounds funny.

Overall I have to give it two stars. The first is because it's a low cost two person fighter. If you're short on money, but you want a game that will let you battle it out with another person, this fits the bill. The other star is because you can laugh at the game. It's ludicrous, the sounds are hokey, the music is annoying, and the characters are either cookie cutters of each other, or so wild they're laughable.

A whole lot of lying going on...

First, I loved the concept and the game had some nice graphics (the textures and animations were really nice) It also was a really interesting concept (fighting game that isn't based on a bunch of guys and gals out to rule the world somehow by beating each other up). Unfortunately, the developers or producers were REALLY creative with the truth.
First, there is nothing even close to 24 characters. There are 12 and there is no way to unlock more. If you hold down the trigger, you get to choose different colors of clothing.
Second, the game states that each character has his or her own special power. Of the 12 characters, only 9 have special powers (one of those being invisibility that the computer can see through).
Third, I beat the single player in about 20 minutes and didn't lose once.
The only reason why I gave this game 2 stars was because it's cheap at Fry's ($$$) and I like kicking the heck out of my brother on it.
...

I actually liked this game--not much to it though

Everybody seems to really hate this game, but it was the first one I got for the XBox and I actually had fun playing it. Maybe its because I'm such a Samurai junkie. True, its not very involved and probably only worth [less]. Gameplay is pretty simple...there are a couple of maneuvers but it mostly boils down to button-mashing. The graphics are neat in an offbeat kind-of-way, but definitely not what the XBox was designed for. I'm not very familiar with gaming systems, the XBox is my first since the Atari 2600 I had when I was 12...but I think this game is probably compatible to something from 5-6 years ago. Absolutely NOT worth buying if you don't have some obsession with Samurai dueling it out...its cool to a point, but nothing to write home about.
