The Shadow Warrior video game storyline was centerred around a bodyguard of Zilla Enterprise named Lo Wang. Zilla Enterprise is a company which have control over any of major industries in Japan. Because of it's success, the company fall into an internal disturbance which make the company perform a lot of corruption. Master Zilla, the president of the company is planning to conquer all Japan.

When Lo Wang discover master Zilla's plan, he quits being a bodyguard at the company and master Zilla send his creatures to battle Wang because he knows a lot about the plan.
In the game, the story continued with Lo Wang found out that the creatures that master Zilla send have killed his old master named master Leep. Master leep give his final words to Wang to avenge his death. The video game is ended with Wang able to defeat Zilla with the help of war robot that look like a samurai. However, Zilla manage to escape death and disappear. This story spike the theory that they will encounter again in the future. You can see the scene when Zilla escape Lo Wang in the picture above.
In term of the gameplay, Shadow Warrior have some similarities to Duke Nukem 3D video game. The game will be played by the player navigating a three-dimensional environments. The game have several levels. In each level, the enemies that attack Lo Wang can be killed using a variety of weapons by the player. In the game, the player will also need to solve some puzzles in order to progress to the next level.
The weaponry that available in the game for Lo Wang to use are includes some of Japanese-themed such as shurikens and katana. These weapons are likely to be dropped in the gameplay because the player usually prefer to use a high tech weapons. The weapons also includes some gun such as Uzis, a riot gun that fire shotgun shells, and the eraser railgun. The videa game also popularized the use of sticky bomb which later will be implemented in a lot of FPS video game such as Halo. In addition to the above weapons, the certain enemies heart can also be used as the weapon.
The Shadow Warrior video game was considered as an ambitious video game, this is due to the fact that the game contain many features that has never seen before in a first-person shooter video game.

What I think about SHADOW WARRIOR?
First, I would like to tell you that this is the first time I played this video game. I have played some of the levels in the game and I think the gameplay that this video game offer is very similar to another FPS video game. However, the game have some of it's own uniqueness. I personally do not like the game too much. Because of this game contain some sexual theme, i could not play the game freely in front of people such as at work. So, I think i would not play the game again.
