    The graphics in Kengo range from quite beautiful to rather unimpressive. The environments that you battle in, while nowhere near as expansive as I would have liked, are nonetheless very well detailed and quite enjoyable to look at. The character models, on the other hand, are relatively detailed but a little herky-jerky in their animations. You'll also be seeing a whole lot of the same characters, as you fight your way through ranks of students of the various dojos.... Read more

    I could not figure out the point of Kengo. It seems to lack any sign of enjoyment, which pretty much ruins the whole game. It's supposed to be a game that is true to the Japanese samurai culture, forgetting that the point of a game is to have fun. You choose fighters to battle with your swords, not that I could tell any difference between any of them. Fights are usually quick, since you die in 1 or 2 hits. This is annoying, not fun. There are a bunch of training levels... Read more

    And, while being a samurai warrior is something that, I think, most people find appealing, this is a definitely a case of "try before you buy". Read more

    Ever since I saw my first Akira Kurosawa film, medieval Japan immediately interested me. Before seeing Seven Samurai the only thing I knew about samurai was what I gathered from the Samurai Pizza Cats cartoon. You wouldn’t believe how inaccurate that cartoon was! Real samurai didn’t loaf around eating pizzas or dressing like Power Rangers; they did what their masters ordered them to. The thing that really makes samurai so interesting is the way they live by the sword... Read more

    The game abandons both the characters and the gameplay formula of the Bushido Blade series and ends up being a disappointment on all fronts. Read more

    Its rare that I write reviews, but I have to step up on this one and mention just how impressed I am with this. Im a big fan of the fighting game genre, I enjoy learning skills and moves and using them correctly - avoiding button mashing etc... This game is one of the best fighting games Ive ever played, and I only bought it last week. For a game as old as this is still holds its own - the animation, graphics and sound are all excellent. There is a real atmosphere to the... Read more
