Opening level of Shadow Warrior (remake) has some pretty good bamboo forests.

Came to post this.

OP already took my vote. Second place would go to Samurai Shodown 2 and 4's bamboo forest stages.

Not much of a looker, but I also liked them in Bushido Blade.

Samurai Showdown 2

you are not alone on this, i called it SHOWDOWN for many years too xD

Ninja Gaiden 2 in the epic Chapter 11 had a really nice looking bamboo forest.

Couldn't find pics sadly.

Didn't Okami have a nice bamboo forest or am I dreaming? Image search only returned me artworks.

Also: +1 to DIY Animal Crossing's bamboo forests.

Mini Ninjas

Came to post this, the game is such a nice little overlooked gem.

Came for this, didn't expect the answer so quick though (since no played it)

Glad to see someone else has heard of it. Criminally underrated game.

DAMN. Mind blown.

So how does one actually pronounce Shodown?

The same way you pronounce showdown. Or if you want to be extra Japanese, SHOU-DAUN

Shadow Warrior.

Can you cut the bamboo? Looking at that makes me want to, so missed opportunity if you can't.

This topic, man. You are a good person. I only have one contribution off the top of my head, but I can't wait to see more.

Jade Forest, World of Warcraft:

Yes! Also I really liked Paoquan Hollow.

Jesus, I read this thread title completely wrong.

Those "best XXX in games" threads become more and more specific each time

"best designed letter 'A' in game logos?"

 

[Messofanego]

New Shadow Warrior. Gorgeous game.

EDIT: I want to boot up Mini Ninjas now XD

Yeah I was thinking this too

I kinda like these threads though. great scenery

Uncharted 2 during the train sequence was pretty good looking, but you were on a train so not sure if that counts.

The only example I can provide is the bamboo areas in Bushido Blade.

bushido blade is all about one-hit kills and carefully planned attacks (even though fights devolve into running in circles and kiting your opponent). It only adds to the atmosphere by having the stalks of bamboo get sliced during a fight followed by them slowly and gracefully falling over.

Hopefully Bushido Blade 3 features a good bamboo forest and cutting them down can serve as a combat tactic.

Bushido Blade blew my mind back in the day!
