"What the..........."

Okay Let me just say this...When Mortal kombat 2 was coming out for all the systems back in 1994, other systems were trying to cash in by making thier verisions of blood caked fighter games, thus 3DO system had ''Way of the warrior created for their system...and thank god that was the only system it was ever released for! For years I scanned through my game Magazines, and even wanted the system which at the time was 300 bucks, just so I could have a crack at this beautiful looking game. well as time drew on the 3DO system became a dead system and I grew up and had almost forgotten all about it untill one lucky day I happen to get a 3DO system for next to nothing, the first thing I did was want out to the local game shop and bought ''Way of the warrior'', after so many years of waiting and wanting I held this disc in my hands with wonder and joy.....this was all gone within 5 minutes of playing this sorry excuse for a game.
Graphics: I thought I'd start out with the positive things about this game before verbally bashing it to the floor. The backgrounds are interesting, the color was bright and the characters were very detailed, a nice game to look at so far.... then we get into gameplay..

Gameplay: This is just down right dirty....you'd be lucky if you could pull off one special move let alone a fatalitie (or death move), the animations are so choppy that your not sure if your playing with cut-out pictures from magezines, and forget even trying to jump in the air, because by then, the computer would have already finished you off by a long shoot. Although the characters were interesting and the backgrounds were cool, it seems that is the only thing that was worked on..forget playablity.

Sound: Well the sound was okay I guess, some comments even made me laugh...though the vocies were'nt matched well with almost any of the characters, and unless you like songs by white zombie, you may wanna just mute the tv or turn it off.

Controls and opitions: What??? are you kidding me, 60 seconds per fight without anyway to stop the timer, it takes my character that long to jump in the air. Almost no opitions at all were present in this poorly made game.

Closing statement:
Okay here I go, Way of the warrior had the intentions to be a good game and lots of possibilites, but intentions are just not enough to save this game. Though at the time, these graphics were consider high rated and beautiful, that was all the game turned out to be, very beautiful, and impossible to control, Naughty dog..SHAME on you (rolls up newspaper) go to your dog house and hate yourself for the next hour!
