    I sort of like this game. Bad story line that you can only get if you read the instruction manual, also the training was to brief so I found myself rushed into the game. Once reading up and getting used to the controls th game is quite fun. I do like how customizeable you can be with your weapns. Overall this game is worh getting if you want something to keep you busy.

    A very hot prospect in the psp titals, but graphics are not up to scratch.Its quite cool how you can make your own character. Ive seen better.

    The concept was pretty interesting, the plot was deep, and the style and atmosphere of the game were pretty interesting and unique. But the gameplay was as boring as it gets. It was also absurdly hard towards the end. I never beat it.

    Rengoku's clunky control system does well to convince you you're a steel-clad cyborg, but unfortunately this rigid feel doesn't lend itself to an enjoyable game. [JPN Import]

    Rengoku doesn't break down, but it doesn't' break new ground either.
