I'm more familiar with Bushido Blade 2. I had a friend who introduced me to a couple PS1 games. This was among those I kept enjoying. Bushido Blade 2 I actually played before the original. You get a campaign that has different final bosses to a degree. You also get a mode to defeat a lot of enemies in one setting. It's a more realistic weapon based fighting game. I could argue it rivaling Soul Edge which I also had on the same system. The stages are mind blowing well designed. The audio as a whole always stuck with me for years. Easily among the best fighting games on the system. You get a great roster of characters. To me this was better than the original Bushido Blade. It's a shame Square Enix never released this franchise. I know a lot of people that absolutely would love this!!!

This was one of the best sword-fighting games ever created. Outstanding character roster, great fighting mechanics and its replay value is absolutely priceless.

Bushido Blade and Bushido Blade 2 were a blast to play! Unbelievable underrated games. One good hit and you are dead, yes, but it just worked and was absolutely fun! It had a lot of different characters, a couple of hidden ones that were challeging to unlock, not to mention the Bosses, each with their own gimmick. There were different weapons other than the katana. Discovering what character were better with which one was part of the fun, as well. Playing versus a friend always resulted in some hillarious moments. Simply, there are no games like these two that I know of.

Vigilante 8
Vigilante 8The game's storyline is built around an alternate history, in which there was a worldwide oil crisis in the 1970s and the U.S. was on the verge of an economic breakdown. Strikes, riots and crime were rampant, and all available law enforcement were brought to the cities leaving the outlands vulnerable. A foreign multinational oil consortium, Oil Monopoly Alliance Regime (OMAR), was determined to monopolize the world oil trade. The U.S. was the last country that stood in their way and they were prepared to go to any length to bring the U.S. to its knees. OMAR hired Sid Burn, a professional terrorist, to push the U.S. economy over the edge. Sid began to organize his troops in the remote areas of the southwest. Calling themselves the "Coyotes," they began to target oil refineries, commercial installations and other vital industry throughout the region. With the law enforcement in the cities, some desperate civilians began to take the law into their own hands. Led by a trucker named Convoy and referred to simply as the "Vigilantes," this oddball group soon became a major hindrance to Sid. Meanwhile, the U.S. government, feeling more vulnerable than ever, was intensifying its research and development of a new military arsenal. The most advanced weaponry, rumored to be based on UFO technology, was located at Site-4, a secret facility at Papoose Lake. This information was not lost on Sid, and the Coyotes ambushed the facility. However the Vigilantes unexpectedly appeared to stop them and as a result, both parties found themselves in possession of the world's most advanced weaponry. What followed were no ordinary skirmishes. Auto clashes ensued all over the land, from Colorado's Rockies to California's farmlands, only to culminate in a battle like no other. To this day the events which took place are only a matter of speculation.
