| Summary: MULTIPLAYER GAME!!!!!
85
Ok here is the deal that EVERYBODY is forgetting: RENGOKU IS A MULTIPLAYER BASED GAME! THATS RIGHT AS IN WHO GIVES A FLYING RATS ABOUT SINGLE PLAYER.
Ok, whew, now that thats off my chest let me explain further. There are only 2 reasons why you play the single player mode in this game. To learn how to play and to get badass weapons and upgrade your charactor. So there you have it the truth is out.
The whole concept behind Rengoku is that you go through this small and not too challenging single player mode to quickly upgrade your character and develop it to its fullest potential as well as your skills in the game. Then you take your CUSTOM character and you battle online with up to 3 other people.
Everybody has forgotten that this game is multiplayer based. It is too bad that the single player mode is very average and simply not very impressive. But who freaking cares!? I can take my completely custom, one-of-a-kind character, and kick my friend's butt with it. Or get my butt kicked.
Everyone seems to complain about the controlls and camera views being sluggish or some other word to use to say simply not that good. The reason is because the learning curve on this game is big, like, real big. The controls are designed so that if you pick up the game you can play it, but as you go on you become better skilled at the controls and you learn how to kick more assparagus. This is seen as a drawback by many new players because they don't realize how much the gameplay will improve when their skills do.
The character models in the game are just freaking sweeeeet!!! From the weapons to the actual characters themselves, everythign has a very industrial and futuristic look to it that gives the game a feel and style like none other that I have seen.
Strategy, strategy, strategy, strategy. This game is all about one-on-one combat strategy. You pick what weapons best suit your playing style and the opponent you will be up against. Some opponents you are better off shooting with a long range weapon and then quickly dashing in for an attack then rollign away before they can strike you. Others you should just simply get cloe the them and wail away.
The game can seem kind of bland at times with not much but walls and boxes (which you shold break to get cooldown items). But when you are fighting another borg you simply forget about everything and only focus on beating him and any others that spawn in that room.
I think this game is a must have for any strategy battle game fans. If you like mech fighting games in which you must pick every part of your charactor to your specifications and then unleash all you got then you should like this game.
I give it a 8.5/10 because it is a great game but the single player and the story involved in single player can be repetitive and almost dissapointing, but the strategy and multiplayer fighting is well worth it.

I can't get my brother to buy a copy of this like I won't buy a copy of hotshots golf to play him multiplayer, I really wish these game publishers would make games with disc sharing in mind, or better yet, the network game sharing, I heard the european version of wipeout will support network game sharing

well you can "share games" but lettign it load the level then takign out the disk and placing it in another psp i dont knwo if it works with this game but it does with others.
Try it!
+
it doesn't, there's no way to disable the music and it needs the UMD in the drive to play
+
So playing online was mentioned. Does this game support infrastructure mode online? Or are we talking about an ad hoc connection?
+
well it supports ad-hoc and infrastructure LAN bit with the tricks you can play online with other people like it was an ad-hoc game
