Ok, well I've gotten past Shogun, playing it off and on. At first, I was pretty confused, didn't really get into it and just turned it off. Then about an hour os so later, I figured ok, this game is not what I expected but let me give it a shot anyway. Once I understood the goal of the game, and my objective as a player, I began enjoying the game MUCH more. It is just soo over the top its insane, and it doesn't take itself seriously, and again is quite funny.
Controls take a bit of time to get used to but before long you'll be trying to get creative and there is alot of depth in the "kills" to the way you play the game also. The environments are dope, you can really use your imagination with how to dispense of your enemies.
Graphics are great, very pleasing to my eye. The artistic design is meticulous and the comic book style is perfect for the theme and setting of the game.
This game is, well, it is a niche game. but a very good one. Go in with an open mind and you'll enjoy it. It is what it is, a stylized beat em up. And the story is intriguing also. The guy who voiced Spike from Cowboy Bebop and Mugen from champloo voices Jack. That last part was just fyi.
