Story: Twenty years ago... a certain process was done over the years. Yuga would take out babies from a mothers stomach for a few days. She would put a certain spell on them and return them to the mother's stomach. The baby would be born as if nothing happened. The child would show incredible talent in different fields. These children were called "Shindou" or "Kidou". Twenty years later, the children would become incredible adults who have a high status or are well known. Yuga would appear before these people and would show them a mysterious puppet show. This causes them to remember why they were born in this world and would follow orders given by Yuga...

General: The Samurai Shodown series goes 3D, bringing old and new characters to life with some pretty nice 3D animation and graphics (for the time)... Many classic characters are back, and several new samurai join the action. The gameplay wasn't known for it's fun factor, but there was some flashy super moves / fatalities where artwork "slid" across the screen. Stylish for the time, but 3d graphics still had a dated look.

Closing Comment: I have not played this game, so I can't fairly rate it... I just know it wasn't "the best" of the Samurai Shodown series. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
