Samurais And Ninjas Pack

Description
Something about Samurai and Ninjas just sends most of us giddy with excitement. Guys in masks and cool armor tearing each other and hordes of enemies apart with blades and their bare hands is just the epitome of awesome. Now I myself prefer the more modern ninjas (*Cough Sam Fisher Cough*), but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the old fashioned ones as well, and there's a [i]lot[/i] to appreciate in this massive pack.

Jashugan returns after his last absolutely massive customization pack, [url=http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Yaleck_Vos;97310]Yaleck Vos[/url], and he's stronger than ever. The amount of choices in this pack is just staggering and reminds me of his Yaleck Vos pack in terms of its customization and number of different skins - both attributed that are beginning to become customary of Jashugan. At this rate he may surpass Spanki as the customization and skinpack king! The pieces in this Samurais and Ninjas Pack ranges, predictably, from samurai to ninjas, but it also touches on beloved characters like Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, and then even touches on more surprising characters like ronin and a skeleton samurai. There's too much to go into each skin individually so I'll just give an overview of the pack as a whole.

[b]Texturing[/b]
The textures in this pack are, to put it in a few words, well above average. Then again, when you borrow textures from masters like Scerendo, Tobe, Spanki, and Hapslash, it's hard to go wrong. Every piece of every model seems unique and realistic, from Samurai armors decorated with rustic patterns to ninja cloaks and the undead head of the skeleton samurai. Paper hats, metal helmets, cloth robes, banded swords hilts, and everything inbetween are all skinned with realistic and high quality textures.

[b]Team Skins[/b]
This deserved a section all of its own simply because it's such a large part of the skin pack. Rather than just shoving team skins aside as a secondary thought like so many skinners do (myself included), the author has done something that isn't done very often: he's made the teamskins a true addition to the pack. Every teamskin is truly unique and, while it obviously relates to the model that it is a team skin of, it is its own entity. Sub-Zero and Spider are the teamskins of Scorpion, for example.

[b]Screenshots[/b]
I just had to put this in. The screenshots for this mod are so cool, unique, and well done. It's not often that you get a mod with such an effort in the presentation, and I think it should definitely be noticed and commended.

[b]Overview[/b]
In all, this pack is definitely something you should take a look into whether you're in to ninjas and samurais or not. It's definitely a keeper for me.
