STORY:
This installment is based on Yuko Osada's manga
seial of the same name which follows the adventures of a young Raoh as he
travels the badlands of the future.
Having deja vu of CVS2
selection screen... for some reason.
ABOUT:
Hokuto
No Ken: Raoh Gaiden ~ Ten no Haoh is a 2D fighting game
with 3D graphics, exclusively for the Playstation portable. There will be 13 playable characters including a completely
original character made specifically for this game. The game features Story
Mode, VS computer, 2-player Versus, and Training Mode.
Prolly not the best PSP
fighting game... but not the worst either.
Gameplay features include an "Attack
Cancel Facility" where a players punch or kick is canceled if the opponent
punches or kicks at the same time... the only result if that happens is a
circular illumination on screen. There's also a special move power gauge
which will allow characters to perform a "Kyukyoku Ogi" (instant
kill type move) when completely full and several stages have destructible
elements, including a jail cell which can be completely demolished.
I actually bought this game back in 2010 when I
was in Hong Kong (super good deal)... but I haven't really played it enough to review it. All I can say is... it's
not terrible, but definitely not great.
Maybe one day I'll offer you a better review... but for now, that's all I got
for you. ~TFG
