Reception
GameZone's Dakota Grabowski gave the game a 4.5 out of 10, saying "After hours upon hours of competitive gameplay, Samurai Shodown: Sen didn’t serve enough entertainment value to satisfy my tastes. It’s a shame since the series has long been one of the more popular franchises among hardcore fighting fans."
Xbox Evolved's Michael Ogunnubi gave the game a 7.5 out of 10, saying "Overall, it's not world class material, but it's decent, and I truly found Samurai Shodown Sen to be pretty fun. It's not like previous iterations as the gameplay is watered down for attempts to change it with brutality, which I thought actually worked to some extent. If you go into it, not expecting typical Samurai Shodown, you'll enjoy it."
PixlBit gave Samurai Shodown Sen a 1.5/5 and stated that this is a "very poor fighting game that lacks balance and accessibility which will make it unenjoyable both for fighting game veterans and newcomers." The review recommended to purchase the Samurai Shodown Anthology Wii compilation or XBLA arcade re-releases for gamers that are interested in the series.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
