    When you're not wrestling with its cumbersome online machinations, Deadliest Warrior: Legends is an absolute treat. It possesses a number of potent improvements over last year's model, resulting in a fighter that's cerebral, satisfying and deep -- and, in the moments when it is not those things, absolutely hilarious.

    A solid, if slightly unneeded, follow-up.

    Deadliest Warrior: Legends doesn't do anything to reinvent the fighting game genre, but it certainly does give it an interesting twist.

    Just remember, this is just a straight up simple fighting game…it does not pretend to be anything else. That is why it's so cool in its simplicity. A casual beat-um up that can be played single player or local with a friend or online.

    Deadliest Warrior's violent contests are mainly good only for amusement, as the shallow play mechanics and repetitive battles offer more laughs than longevity.

    Deadliest Warrior: Legends may make you laugh for a little while, but its sloppy fighting is dead on arrival.

    An unpolished mess with few redeeming qualities other than a nifty premise.

Combat has moved in the directionI just picked up this game because I enjoyed the first one so much. It was sooo much better than the first. Combat has moved in the direction of bushido blade. Graphics are better and the arenas have pits and traps that make combat more exciting. I pushed someone into that pit from 300 - that was great! The strategy game looks interesting. It's a whole other game that supposedly uses the battle simulator from the show. Not sure about that but it's really fun.… Expand

My friends and I had such a good time playing it. We are all in different cities and we play it every Friday night before we all go out. The rounds are quick and the combat is fun. The historical bent is interesting if they are really using data from the tests in the show. The generals mode is also fun but I wish it was online. But it's a totally fun game and I'm amazed at all the content I got for $10.… Expand

The fact that each fighter has their own background, which includes vistas as well as gameplay differences, is great. The characters are pretty interesting, and the combat is strategic and deadly. I wish the Generals campaign had more meat and some of the voice work is really bad. Also, when I started the trial version, it booted me from Live! I'm sure more bugs will be found as I play.… Expand

No life bars, just an old fashioned fight to the death where a blow that would kill you in real life, kills you in game, a realistic take on the fighting genre (not without it's quirks but I will say again I really think this series has serious potential to become great). Don't come expecting it to be the best game ever and you will be able to enjoy what you find.… Expand
