 Old Lo Wang Still Rules Shooters, 2003-05-30
If you are not running OS X, this is still the best game to hit the Mac environment to date. Shadow Warrior outranks any other Shooter game for OS 8.0-9.2. Without cheats, it took me nearly 9 months to work through the 20+ levels. Cheats are a huge help.
Multi-player networks don't get any more lively than this, with Lo Wang battling his twin, etc. in a dunk-and-cover jungle or on a wide-open plateau where you always materialize in the same spot. This gives your enemy many clear shots at your head, so move quickly.
Challenges in the game are the ultimate with a diverse group of relentless pursuers out to hammer you all at once. Giants, dragons, invisible assasins and nearly impossible corridors to traverse. Lo Wang is challenged physically, mentally and spirtually.
Even with a G4/1.0 gig tower and OS10.2, I still find myself time to boot into OS9.2 to play a game I used to play in Las Vegas after hours at work on the fastest Power Computing machines on Earth. I was always buried quicky in 1997-98, but now the tables are turned, and Lo Wang blesses all who are loyal.
"Huyam zee Shadow Wuyah!", w00t!, 2003-01-06
Just thought i would let everyone know that this game, although, on an old (make that ancient) engine can still be awesome! I was just moving recently and dug it up. Played it, remembered the good old days of Duke Nukem 3D LANs and all. Good for reminiscing, good for laughs, and good for action. This game had it all. Good times. :P

I like Beam Weapons!, 2000-07-06
Shadow Warrior is an amazingly fun game to play. Using the old Duke Nukem 3D engine, it looks kind of dated now, but Lo Wang himself more than makes up for this. Using a variety of fun weapons, such as his katana, uzis (up to 2 at once), nuclear missiles, fire-spewing heads of decapitated enemies, and so on, this samurai is trying to avenge the murder of his master. Don't look for a whole lot of plot development, that's not the point.This is the funniest game ever. There are witty retorts for every situation, weapon, and enemy...However, even on easy mode, this game can be remarkable hard because it doesn't take much to kill Lo. Other than the basic enemies, almost everyone can kill you real fast in a one-on-one, and when you run out of ammo, it auto switches, usually unfortunately to an explosive weapon. Prepare to save a lot. Even so, I definitely recommend this game. It's a classic masterpiece.

 Buy the Dukester first!, 2000-04-20
Bought this game hoping that it would be Duke Nukem does Kung Fu. It *sort of* is. It doesn't play nearly as smoothly on a Mac (strange, since it supposedly has the same engine), and just isn't as funny and silly. Still, a pretty good game. I play it every now and then, but I still play Duke Nukem a lot. If you love Duke, you'll probably like this.

WHOOOO WANTS SOME WANG!, 2000-04-05
For the time period it was released, this game is totally awsome and I still play it to this day. The multiplayer is fun also when you have computers linked up thru IPX network. I played the demo out for a month and finally went out and bought the game. It has a good storyline and is fun to play and I recommend you purchase this classic, look at the price...get it now!
