Dustin Spencer of Capsule Computers writes "Who would win? That age old question has been asked for centuries when it comes to just about every past warrior known to man. For the past three years, Deadliest Warrior has been answering with recreations of battles, where knowledge of weaponry is combined with dramatizations, enabling an audience to finally know the victor to the feuds that never were. 345 Capsule Computers Writes "Games seen the potential with the concept, and aided in bringing the television show into the video game world two times now, with both Deadliest Warrior: The Game and Deadliest Warrior: Legends, which were released originally on the Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network.
After finding success, a retail version has now been delivered, bringing together both titles and a bevy of extra features to the fans in one small package labeled Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat. Are these two Warriors enough to compete on shelves? Let's find out."
Zach Murphy writes: 'The Deadliest Warrior TV series was fantastic television between 2009 and 2011. The series pitted warriors from a variety of eras against each other in an in-depth simulated battle.'.
Neocrisis: Ever thought of who would win in a fight if a Nordic viking was going against a Napoleon solider? or a Ninja vs a sword swinging samurai? Well wonder no more as Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat provides the answers (or at least tries to).
I played the first Deadliest Warrior game once. I was a Samurai and my friend was a Spartan. Match starts. He pushes circle. His Spartan chucks a spear at me and it magically hits me in the head, killing me instantly.
He then told me that it's random if the spear is going to go towards my head or not. So by chance, he killed me with a push of a button.
Screw this game.
That screen shot alone has turd written all over it. What you mentioned is the same reason I quit watching the show.
Their statistical stuff is cool in the show but when they show the cornball fight at the end and the fight is always won do to some total fluke it really makes a joke out of their decent statistical data. What you described summarizes the show perfectly.
Examiner:
Gamers can have a pretty easy time being very selective with their games. When you study reviews, play demos and generally pay attention to trends you can easily avoid some of the worst games that come out. We always pay attention to what games score and sell the highest, but what about the games that (critically) perform the worst? We dove into the deep zone and managed to dig up the five worst scoring games of 2012… So far.
This game looks good, i might pick this up.
