Another classic 3D Realms shooter.
User Rating: 8 | Shadow Warrior PC
One of the last 2D first person shooters to hit the PC, Shadow Warrior did take the 2D shooting genre out with a funny blast! What we get here is basically the Chinese version of Duke Nukem, complete with the sexist remarks and the crude humour. Who wants some Wang? Well, I did, at the time that I bought this game brand new (and in a rather cool box), and it delivers with inventive weapons and fast brutal carnage. You get what you expect with Shadow Warrior, the level design is inventive and there are plenty of secrets to discover. It is definatley worth the play through to experience all the little nuances placed throughout the levels. My number one love of this game came through it's updated version of the Duke Nukem 3D level development tool, which made it a simple task to create highly detailed levels yourself. I practically mastered the program back in the day, creating many complex levels with rooms over rooms and divable pools. Pity that the need for this is almost non-existant because nobody plays this game anymore. And the fact that I have no idea where the levels I made are now! But, as a game, Shadow Warrior is more than servicable. Good graphics, smooth frame rate, good music, great times!
