Gameplay

Sai Combat is a one-on-one fighting game. The sais in the game don't refer to the stabbing weapons but rather long wooden poles.[3][4] The player has to defeat eight opponents before becoming the Sai Master. In order to win a fight, the opponent has to be knocked down three times. The game includes a two-player multiplayer mode.[1]

The reviewers compared the game to The Way of the Tiger and The Way of the Exploding Fist.[6] Computer and Video Games said the game is "good fun" and "graphically excellent".[4] Crash said the game is better than International Karate but not as good The Way of the Exploding Fist.[1]
