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.
Those games also need your vote!
One Must Fall: 2097
One Must Fall: 2097Welcome to One Must Fall 2097. This game is an action-fighting game similar to Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat but it has a much more to offer. Once you're into the game, you choose your pilot. Each pilot has different strengths and weaknesses. You may want one that is faster, or that can take a punch or two, or one that just looks good. Each pilot needs a good vehicle, or a robot in this case. You fight other piloted robots. For victory, You gain money, for money, You can buy some upgrades and beat more robots. The economy part of this game is really simple :-), but gives new experience from a simple fighting game. In the background story of the robot-fighting games are multinational corporations. One such corporation, World Aeronautics and Robotics (WAR), runs the entire show. WAR was started as a research institute to provide human-assisted robots for space travel. Their first prototypes were activated in 2009 and were immediately put to use by a conglomeration of companies from Japanamerica to build the first ACTIVE space station. The HAR's were better than conventional robots in that they were completely operated by a single human whose brain controlled the robot's systems via remote. The "pilot" actually "became" the robot for all intents and purposes, but no danger to the pilot was possible. At the end of 21st century You have a chance to write history. You've waited for this night since you were a child. Fifteen years of training will be used tonight. The main prize is waiting...

Heavy Metal: Geomatrix

Of course, they are all a mix of human and humanoid, and depending on their strengths, have a range of different moves and styles. The main aim of the game is to defeat each of the opposing 3-man teams ahead of you, and dominate cyberspace. The game mixes a little of Street Fighter with a dash of Virtual On, allowing you to fight in close or use long range attacks all inside a 3D landscape.

Dark Earth
Dark EarthDark Earth is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game for the PC. Dark Earth takes place several centuries in the future, when a meteor collision with Earth tossed up great clouds of dust that blocked out the sun. Earth's remaining survivors began to seek refuge beneath small openings in the clouds, the few places light could be found. Those that remained in the 'dark earth' were hunted by strange creatures, infected with the darkness. To shelter themselves from the dangerous 'dark earth', the people began to form cities beneath the light called 'Stallites'. At the time of the game, most of the citizens of the stallite have forgotten their history and now worship the light as a god. The stalites are run by 'Sun Priests', who maintain order and prevent the creatures of darkness from harming the city. The game follows the story of Arkhan, a "guardian of fire", protector of the stallite 'Sparta' and the Sun Priests. After an attack on the sun priests, Arkhan has a poison thrown into his face that begins to infect him with the dark sickness. He begins to mutate into a creature of the dark and has to find a cure before his transformation is complete. Along the way, he is treated as an enemy by most of his former friends while he struggles to uncover the conspiracy behind the attack.
