Sai Combat is an unusual one-on-one martial arts fighting game where you and your opponent battle it out with Bo sticks as well as with your bare feet.
Graphics for the sprites are well drawn and animated, whilst backgrounds look pretty simple in comparison. Gameplay is smooth and involving, with your opponents becoming smarter as you beat them. On later levels you must also be wary of shurikens thrown by assistants placed on both sides of the screen.
Although not as refined as Way Of The Exploding Fist or International Karate Plus, Sai Combat is a worthwhile example of its genre.

More than decent martial-arts simulator .
Not as superb as The Way of the Exploding Fist but quite good indeed ! ! !
4,5 out of 5 .
Ps - For once , I must agree with Mr. Alessandro about this little matter .

Although Sai Combat is not unknown by the general public, it remains a fairly fameless title. It doesn't have the novelty factor of The Exploding Fist nor it's charm, but it is definitely a superb Martial Arts game. For me, the only big letdown the game has, is the rigid look of the fighters. It could also benefit with a little bit more fighting space.
