1 out of 5 stars Fun until you realize all the levels are the same   January 3, 2008
This is the first PSP game i bought and about 20 games later still the worst. I have never played a game as simple as this one. There are toms of weapons and the graphics are descent but there is nothing that would make you want to continue. I would honestly rather play pong with myself.


4 out of 5 stars Can be addicting   January 2, 2008
I originally picked up this first version of the game used with some trepidation from various reviews and comments from game stores. I wasn't expecting very much, however, what I found was a totally addicting fighting game.

As you progress through the game you become more adept at what weapons to carry and use.

I liked the game enough that after I finished it, I purchase the sequel and recently completed it also.



4 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing   October 12, 2007
First of all, some one said that the sound was terrible. I guess they were deaf or something because the soundtrack to this game is the best I have ever heard in a game. A lot of people complain that this game does not use the analog stick, but like another reviewer stated, people have been playing games with directional pads for decades, so who cares. The graphics are some of the best you will see on a the PSP, and the art gallery is stunningly beautiful and creative. This game creates a very tangible and unique feel, and a player can really get absorbed into the world it creates. The gameplay is as good as can be expected on a PSP. Te aiming is extremly simple, you get in ranged and hit and hold the L button, how hard is that??? Overall, this game is one of those rare titles that has absolute brilliant design and implementation. Whoever made this game had a top-notch imagination and really made this game with care. This game has a high level of polish and looks, sounds, feels, and plays excellent. A quality choice for anyone interested in a difficult, imaginitive and immersive experiance.

5 out of 5 stars This game is awsome.   December 18, 2005

I see a few reasons people might have problems with this game.

1. The controls. Yes, it doesn't use the analog nub, BUT the D-pad controls work just fine. People have managed to use the D-pad for movement for over a decade; all of a sudden it makes a game unplayable? Yeah right. Trust me, you'll get used to the controls after 15 minutes.

2. Too many things to keep track of. Yes, this game doesn't have a learning curve, it just starts you off in the thick of things right away. Guess what? There is an instruction manual that comes with it. Read it first, it will greatly help you understand what's going on. The game's amount of customization is amazing. If you spend 10 minutes to figure out what everything is (or just read the manual), then you'll be set.


Rengoku has tight and fast paced action, the fighting is furious and you can't let your guard down. The AI in this game is not stupid, it won't just stand there while you kill it. You have to use all your abilities to win.

This game might be too complicated for younger gamers, but for those who like to customize their charater and intense action, this game is for you.
