Upon booting the game up and seeing the massive roster I wondered to myself "Why don't I like SamSho again? This game has everyone! This roster rules!" and upon doing a story mode playthrough I was having a good time. Until the boss fights. In the hiatus between the last time I played some SNK fighters to now, I had forgotten the atrocities that are SNK bosses, and they still sour the single player fun here as they do anywhere else they rear their stupid heads in. Everything from the menus to getting into matches is sluggish and slow, with a lot of loading screens between matches. The gameplay itself is also slow, but thats deliberate and how samsho is usually paced. All in all, if you have friends and are only playing this multiplayer against people, theres a decent enough time to be had here, the roster has literally EVERYONE from the previous samsho titles. If you don't have friends to play against, you can play way more fun fighting games out there.
