   Shadow Warrior takes the open-ended interactivity that made Duke Nukem 3D so fun and expands/improves upon it. Almost everything in ShadowShadow Warrior takes the open-ended interactivity that made Duke Nukem 3D so fun and expands/improves upon it. Almost everything in Shadow Warrior is breakable and the addition of drivable vehicles, truly 3D pickups and "room-over-room" levels add to the immersive nature of the game. Unfortunately the game relies on some really racist caricatures of Japanese people and culture that is more offensive than funny. I'm not an easily offended individual and personally loathe all forms of political correctness but I don't see why the developers couldn't have used this as an opportunity to create a character that positively portrays Japanese individuals. Additionally, the graphics were already dated in 1997 (keep in mind this was the same year that the truly 3D Goldeneye64, Quake II, Hexen II, Turok and Dark Forces II: Jedi night were released) and may turn off newcomers to this title. All in all a fun romp down memory lane but not the a classic like Doom or Duke.… Expand

   Yeah, it's an ok game. Don't let the nostalgia blind you. It gets repetitive rather fast, and the levels are not as great as those in DukeYeah, it's an ok game. Don't let the nostalgia blind you. It gets repetitive rather fast, and the levels are not as great as those in Duke Nukem 3D. The weapons are awesome, but Lo Wang isn't as funny and he doesn't have as many lines as Duke. Still, I would recommend it to anyone interested in older FPSs. It is still a classic from 1997, and I prefer it over any modern military shooter -with the possible exception of Battlefield, that I found really addictive. But, oh well, if old games aren't your thing, you should check out the remake. It's awesome, really.… Expand

The gameplay is very great, the graphics were ok, the interactivity is great as expected, the guns are good to use, the character himself is a Japanese parody and is a little weak compared to the character of Blood or Duke Nukem. Overall great game… Expand

   I bought this from GOG as "classic complete" (with expansions), but with today standards, the controls are so annoying to me, I deleted.

   In my high-school years I probably played it through and enjoyed the gore. One of the 'funniest' feature of the game was slicing the enemies with a katana.
   The weapons and atmosphere obviously made a real difference in comparison to other games of that era. I don't really remember the quality of the music and sounds though, I can't rate them.
   
   If you want to discover old games, you can give it a try, bargain price at GOG.… Expand
