Best swordplay in any game?

Eldrew · 2008-11-30 09:26:51

So I was playing Assassin's Creed again today, and it struck me, that although the enemies are easy to kill and it's usually pretty easy to die, the combat can be a tonne of fun. It's great when you attack, they counter, then you counter and kill them. Back and forth exchanges like that are money, but they happen far too infrequently. Through the years, many games have tried to emulate that excitement behind sword battles, but they just don't click. Jedi Outcast is too.. detatched. Oblivion is too slow. Zelda is just off (all of them). God of War is far too hack'n'slash. Assassin's Creed does a good job, but rarely, and it's over after only one exchange or two.What's the best sword combat that you've encountered in any game? I'm looking for a good experience... Thanks

I think LOTR Two Towers and Return of the King have great swordplay. You could do fast and fierce attacks. You could counter or you could counter with instand kill. Arrows you can block with your sword.

This is a great choice. I had almost forgotten about those games. Oh when you could play local split-screen co-op in games.
