Just bought this. It seems fun... I just get my face raped off every level, except the first one. If anybody wants to play, send me a friend request. My Gamertag is "dim nimrod".
What I like about Kengo (and Bushido Blade) is that it's a more realistic fighting game that requires a lot of skill, it's not just mashing buttons. You have to be precise and killing a opponent with one certain slash on the throat is really amusing.
I saw this game in a gamestop this past weekend, I was intrigued, but unsure, so I left it until I could check up more on it........Eh.............seems alright.
I thought that the samurai were as close the the bow as they were to the sword, at least before the sengoku era. why dont any samurai games feature bows as weapons? guess most games that focus on samurai want to be hack and slash only
Now, I know who Kojiro and Musashi are but, while they were good they weren't THAT good; Musashi and Kojiro were unfairly dominant, I mean, while above, other swordsmen of Japanese history, the difference between Musashi, Kojiro, and the rest, was like the difference between an average NBA basketball player, and Kobe Bryant, but, in this game, the difference betweent he other Samurai masters, was like the difference between a mortal and a god.
Just pick Sasaki Kojiro or Musashi, with Kojiro do the overhead strike that immediately brings the sword back up, and with Musashi, just do a thrust with a side sweep and you will sail straight to the end of the game it fucking sucks.
Example; in Kengo; Master of Bushido, you screw up with a step, you're dead. Its as simple as that. While not as realistic as the first Bushido Blade, it kept some anatomical realism; step the wrong way in MOB, and you're dead. In Legend of the 9 all you like, all have to do is run around hammering buttons, I really hated it. In Master of Bushido you needed genuine skill and a sense of timing.
This game is the worst game you can ever play for the 360. once you play it your haunted for life. Super mario bros. for the gameboy color is better than this game.
Reviews and alike is all about who ever is doing them, sure be carefull buying a game but that goes for anything. Cloverfield for instance got great reviews, but I think it sucked balls, that way we are all different. I think I'm gonna buy this game... I may be dissapointed but who knows...
I am a Kendoka (One who practices Kendo / Kenjutsu: Japanese sword fighting) and I practice Iaido (sword drawing). I can say that Soul Calibur was alright, but not very realistic. This actually looks more like what is done in real life (and death). Of course, dismemberment is something that is graphic in nature and scares people. Last Samurai had some scenes like that.
@SaracenWarrior Yes. I'm also a Kendoka, and I got to say, the Kengo games are the most realistic weapon-based ones. I also played Soul Calibur and Bushido Blade, but Kengo is the best.
I'm sorry, no training mode, no "career" mode like Kengo; Master of Bushido, seriously hurt this title. Part of the fun was watching a swordsman's growth.
For you ultra hardcore Samurai fanboys, who will play anything with a Katana in it, even a piece of crap like this, to get over 100 kills on the bonus games, survival mode or whatever its called, just pick Sasaki Kojiro and do the overhead hack over and over. Kojiro and Musashi are the two most dominant characters, just pick either and you'll easily plow through the title.
this game is tight, and its actually realistic in the stances, combinations, and the bloody splatter.
what the fuck fat ass? just because your too slow to wield a katana doesnt mean you gotta hate. why dont you go play fake ass games like soul caliber.
also, fuck man realistic? Taking 50 stabs in a row from different bandits oh yeah sure. Oh yeah soul caliber is fayk sss. 'Cause soul caliber if fayk like thet.
ALLRIGHT. i just saw your video and your definately not fat looking. you look slimmer than me but thats not because im fatter, its because im bigger. (not bragging) lol i like jews. that video is cool. Jews deserve way better treatment in this world. I hate how people are stereo typing jews. and yeah fuck soul caliber.
Soul Calibur is an arcade game dude, and in Japan its illegal to show dismembering on any entertainment medium. Well, of people; that is why neither in Kengo, nor Soul Calibur will people loose limbs. Believe it or not the force responsible for those laws, was Fist of the North Star; the graphic nature of the cartoon outraged Japanese parents, who for all intents and purposes outlawed dismembering in kid's entertainment.
In cartoons perhaps, but not with video games; Shadow of Rome for example was never released in Japan, because it had too much human being dismemberment. If its monster dismemberment, then they are okay with it, however if its person dismemberment, they are not okay with it.
Also, Fist of the North Star? That caused an uproar among Japanese parents; the only reason the cartoon is bloody NOW, is because the audience has grown up. Before it used to shounen, or, whatever ranks below shounen in age group, now, Fist of the North Star is borderline shounen and seinen, that is it walks that tightrope, aimed primarily at people in their late teens and early 20's.
Also, it depends on what age range you're talking about; shounen and seinen anime will have lots of blood, and I'm talking blood by the galon, I mean I don't think there are human beings anywhere, who can hold all the blood Kenshiro bled in the fist of the north star movie.
There was enough blood on Kenshiro, in the final fight of the Fist of the North Star movie, to give transfusions to 100 men. Part of the reason video game censorship is stricter, is because where kids watch cartoons with their parents, they play video games, unsupervised, so make it easier on parents they simply ban any human dismemberment games.
Even if a game is aimed at adults, Japanese law simply will not allow titles, where people get killed. Yes I know you will inevitably point to Ninja Gaiden II; those weren't people dude, they are fiends.
@pillsburydoughboy47: I do really hate to say it, but in Ninja Gaiden 1 (XBOX), there were human enemies as I recall who showed no evidence whatsoever of being fiends, such as the Ninjas in the first stage.
You could decapitate them, chop limbs off, etc. And also, are you saying dismemberment or death is not allowed?
Because those are different things. Also, Madworld, a Japanese made game is insanely gorey, as is No More Heroes, both for the Wii, the "family" system.
@DJRosiel sorry, should have rephrased that; it won't allow it in a messy way. They won't allow gratuitous nudity either. Dead Rising for example, and its sequel will come out very soon, that little blood bath wasn't allowed in Japan. Neither was Shadow of Rome.
@DJRosiel the only reason they allow it in Ninja Gaiden, probably has to do with a culture thing. For some odd reason Japanese ninja stuff ALWAYS needs to be a blood bath.
Love the series. Only really played the ps2 on all the way through though. I loved that there WHERE ways to kill people in one hit if they messed up. Love the realism.
I think people just want button mashers, with little strategy. I got the Kengo game for PS2, and it definitely tested your patience and willingness to learn, which, after playing so many button mashers, was a good thing. I often was bothered by how samurai are depicted in many movies as just swordsmen who slashed people up. Samurai fighting styles were about precision, not wild, flashy, crazy moves.
@mykalroze What did you think of Samurai Showdown Sen? I was dissappointed myself. I LOVE that title, but the latest version annoyed the absolute crap outta me. Looks awesome, but you gotta have a friggin' PhD in order to execute the moves!
@mykalroze Same thing can be said about the media and how they depict the boxing genre. All they show are people wearing boxing gloves and punching each other. They don't even bother with the things it goes into being a boxer: the footwork, the telegraphing, the technique that goes into the punches themselves. Fighting and Martial Arts in general is more than just people hitting each other.
this look interesting but the game slow pace and battle system look weird and stiff i not say it suck i dont know i never play this game but still i rent it then but it

Whu....huh? Are you kidding me? Japanese censorship is extremely lax compared to American when it comes to violence in kid's programs.
Dragonball Z was made after Fist of the North Star and has Tien getting his arm cut of in the first season.
Added to that, Elfen Lied, Hellsing, and the Samurai X OVAs all feature graphic dismemberments and were made post-FOTNS.
Do your research.
