A friend of mine downloaded deadliest warrior off x-box live for the 360, and let me tell ya spike should pull out of the game industry now.
First of all it only has 8 playable characters with more being released as extra down loadable content you have to pay more to get, there is no customization because all the models look the same besides hair and clothes. to unlock more clothes you have to go through the characters single player mode several times.
8 players wasn't TOO bad but when you think about it the first season of Deadliest warrior had what 20 maybe 30 warriors in the FIRST SEASON.
okay lets see how this game ranks.
Graphics: 4/10
The graphics shows that this was a low budget game, the fighting areas look pretty good but the character graphics look like mannequin dolls with clothes and weapons glued to them, there is a lot of blood and gore and for a low budget game the severing of limbs and decapitation is really well done.
Gameplay: 3/10
The controls are all over the place each button does something and each character has their own weapons and such that they use to kill you you do have a life bar and a stamina bar that when its empty your block button is locked, People say this is a knock off to Bushido blade, and I'll give them credit Its Bushido blade with a life bar, But with so many characters having 1 hit kill moves and fatality combos and a broken movement where you cannot turn to face your opponent without moving the joystick or d-pad then whats the point of a life bar? seriously I've seen several fights with a spartain where even the AI will throw a spear in yoru face at the start of the game and get a perfect kill. Also you can't aim your weapons, Most characters always aim for parts of the body and you cannot control where it goes 90% of the time.
Sound: 0/10
Yeah a 0 because theres no music and the sound effects are lazy and cheap, Bushido blade was a low budget game as well but they had better sound effects with the blood splattering and limbs getting cut off.
when I e-mailed Spike Games about these issues and how to improve on them Spike Games turned and said "You don't know anything about video games or fighting games, These things you brought up are petty and not worth our time and effort, but please do buy an X-box 360 and buy our game so you can play it yourself."
yeah no fucking way asshole, I'll stick to my Psx, ps2, ps3, psp, Nintendo Ds, And my Nintendo Wii
