SNK's famous samurai based game is back in it's 4th and final Saturn outing. Like Samurai Spirits 3 or Samurai Spirits Zankuro Musouken as it's called in Japan, Samurai Spirits 4 uses the saturn's 1 MBIT Ram cart for character animations. The end result is a game that looks pretty much identical to the Neo Geo original. The game is fun and very hard to play unlike many other 2D fighters out there. Mixing a nice range of short and long distance attacks. At first Samurai Spirits seems more hassle than it's worth but once you learn the controls you'll find yourself enjoying the game more and more. The audio also adds to the experience. Most stages don't have any back ground music as such. There is a tune played in the background but it's not what I'd call background music. It's more of an obscure twanging along with some very nice sound effects of the wind, sea, fire burning etc.

If you are looking for a new 2D fighter for your Saturn with a difference then I seriously recommend Samurai Spirits 4. Below you can see the actual CD case cover which is different from the card box the game comes in.
