The Second Samurai rocks! I don't know why I like it so much, but it's fun. And it's very, very hard which is obvious for an arcade game. You will die a lot alone so it's good to have a second player. I asked my sister to help with this playthrough and she took over the female character. It's still not easy even though we play on easy difficulty. There are three more levels of difficulty and good luck if you try on "Samurai".

The graphics are very good and colorful, the music is great, the bosses are interesting and the stages offer a great variety even though nothing makes any sense in a samurai game setting.

It took us many hours of trying over two weeks to beat the last boss. Not because Satan is so hard, but because the health refills are bugged. Sometimes you get only one or nothing at all and most of the time both drop right on top of one player so the other person gets nothing. We beat him the moment it did not glitch out, but man, did it suck to try and try until it worked. Yea, it's recorded on an emulator, but I don't use save states for my videos so we had to try like idiots. We would be bankrupt if that was a real arcade machine we played on. If you can find a real copy of this gem, add it to your collection.

Green annotations are done by me. If you see any other color then it's stuff added by my sister. Enjoy.
