well, like i was saying, lord of the fist (shaolin.. in the UK) is like an RPG, you are a lil kid (boy or girl.. you choose) and you have to go from town to town learning their martial arts.. like Tai Chi and other types of Kung Fu.. you eat and grow strong, you actually grow in to a teenager then in to a man.. or woman, you have to watch your diet as "you should always leave the table a lil hungry"....
trust me, if you like detailed martial arts games, it doesn't get better than this. though its PS1 so you should forgive certain graphical problems....
anyway, Samurai showdown is 2D, its not your BB's or your Tenchu.. but saying that 2D fighting again doesn't get much better on PS1.
to be honest, the Bushido blade series moved to PS2 with kengo 1/2.. so once you have played BB 1/2 thats your lot. same with Tenchu.. nothing has really come close imo.
you should try SS, I think you will like it, damn fine fighter.. but if you ever see 'Shaolin' in the shops.. pick it up, not many people got on with it as it wasn't an RPG or a out and out fighter like Tekken.. (better imo as you could fight up to three people at once, based on real martial arts.. more so than your Tekkens and VF's ).
I realise that Wu Tang: Taste the Pain was a four way fighter, and was based on Thrill Kill.. but I didn't think it was nearly as good as Thrill Kill, and should of probably stayed forgotten.
or go and buy Soul Edge (soul Blade here in good ol blighty)....... its the best arcade beat em up on the PS1, different to Tekken 3.. faster and with weapons. you will love Taki and Mitsurugi (ninja and samurai)....
