Nerdicus Genesis Review #42: Budokan: The Martial Spirit


Title : Budokan: The Martial Spirit

Publisher : Electronic Arts

Developer : Electronic Arts

Genre : Fighting

Players :  1 Player

Release Date : 1989

Estimated Value (as of today's date) : $25-$30

I haven't played any fighting games in awhile, so taking a look at Budokan, at least I have something to look forward to. At least, I thought I did. I have this problem that when I see games such as this involving martial arts combat, I always think back to the fond memories I had playing BUSHIDO BLADE with my friends. Those were the nights. Not to mention, Bushido Blade (as lack luster as some may of thought it was) was quite a revolutionary combat game. Nothing quite as satisfying as one hit kills, injuries, and chasing your opponent through snowy bamboo thickets.

Budokan sadly, doesn't offer much of the same glorious combat. In fact, the game is QUITE dull. Not to mention it's only a single player game. Seriously, what the hell EA? Why are you making a fighting game that is only one player? Unless it's two player and I couldn't figure out how to select a second player. Someone care to answer that?

No? No one cares? Didn't think so. BUT WAIT...Apparently there is a sparring mode...that's about it...still don't care enough to find it...but yeah...sparring that's it.
