   Being able to play it on modern rigs without problems just helps you to realise how **** things have went in the shooters department.

   This game is not the best fps (Duke Nukem and Doom are obviously better at every aspect), but it's still a blast to play.… Expand

   It's hilarious game.
   
   I got my hands on the CD of the game long time ago, around 1999-2000. But never finished. I never liked Duke Nukem 3DIt's hilarious game.
   
   I got my hands on the CD of the game long time ago, around 1999-2000. But never finished. I never liked Duke Nukem 3D graphics. Always felt dizzy or sick. But now, strangely, fine.
   
   Pros.:
   - Humor.
   - Protagonist. He's hilarious. Jokes and lines.
   - Game design - I liked the maps and how you had to unscramble them.
   - Alternative shooting system. Especially rocket launcher and nuke.
   - Secrets.
   - Ladies)
   
   Cons.:
   - Variety of weapons, but you usually use 2-3.
   - The special items are useless most of the time. Just do not need them.… Expand

   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

   This is what i think of when i think of FPS done right.
   
   If you enjoyed Duke3D then you should enjoy this. Its just as good if not better.This is what i think of when i think of FPS done right.
   
   If you enjoyed Duke3D then you should enjoy this. Its just as good if not better. Its the Asian version of Duke3D.
   
   The weapons are great:
   Katana or Fists, Shuriken,
   Riot shotgun, Uzi (+dual wield), Grenade launcher and rocket launcher,
   Sticky bombs (stick to any surface including enemies), Railgun,
   Guardian head (the head of an enemy that shoots fire), Ripper heart (heart of an enemy that can make a clone of you).
   
   Powerups: fortune cookies give health boost, armor, Nuclear bombs, Heatseeker cards for rocket launcher.
   
   Interesting enemies like female warriors, Sumos, even ghosts.
   
   There is less nudity than Duke3D, the girls are anime girls.
   
   Keys can be used multiple times, you have the keyscards but you also have keys for locks.
   
   The game is more fast-paced than Duke3D but at the same time easier. My main weapon in Duke3D was a shotgun, in Shadow Warrior its the dual Uzi.
   
   Bosses are also easier, not giant alien monsters.… Expand

   Shadow warrior classic was a hard game for me to get my opinions out for me its a good game and challenging for sure and this is my firstShadow warrior classic was a hard game for me to get my opinions out for me its a good game and challenging for sure and this is my first experience with this type of old school shooter iv never played doom, wolfenstien or duke nukem. so iv been putting this off.
   
   Story: function able demons attack lo wang so you take revenge thats the story and thats all it needs to be its a shooter and shooters were never known for their story's ( at least at this time ) that being said story wise this games aged like milk the best thing about the story is lo wang , he is a bad ass and he knows he is and dosent give a **** what you think of him in other words hes a bit of a douche but a douche who will cleverly insult you and out witt you
   Story:5.5/10
   
   world building: the world building is ok at best, it feels like an action adventure and those storys worlds are hit or miss (indiana jones being a massive miss with its world building, starwars being a juggernaut of world building) and shadow warrior is a miss , not a huge miss , enemy types and locations are varied enough to give you a sense of location and locals are cool and make sense but besides the basics there is not much lore that iv found more an average amount but it makes it clear that game play was the for front of focus
   World building : 4.5/10
   
   Graphics: its 1997 and the graphics are even outdated then but i think this pixle style was a good choice to keep and even though this style was outdated at this point they took this opertunity to pack as much detail in the textures and "models" as possible there is a distinct increase in detail when i look at old screen shots of doom and this game
   Graphics: 8/10
   
   Game play: this game is really fun , its hard enough to feel like a challenge but not so hard its frustrating ( even if at some points it was) all guns are fun and useful even if the mini uzi is the most useful but its very easy to waste all your ammo for it. enemy types mix it up and how you deal with certain situations especially when you run out of ammo for your Uzi, the secrets are by far the best part of this game, they are placed so well and clever and it feels old school in the best possible way. the shooting feels good especially on a modern machine game runs like a dream.
   gameplay: 8.5/10
   
   Sound design: music was ok but the voice acting was on point and the earliest example of good voice acting even if t was simple , the lines are well written and performed. music is ok but the sound effects are king the uzi sounds equely puny and speedy (witch is kinda is) and the explosions and lazer rifle have zip and smash all over them. sound design is not perfect but pretty great
   sound design: 8/10
   
   5.5+4.5+8+8.5+8= 34.5
   34.5/5= 6.9/10
   
   a pretty good old school game. but even at its time of release it was technologicaly out of date made up for with a great style and solid mechanics. i got this game for free and its definitly worth a play if you can get it under 5 dollars or free… Expand
