In Kengo: Master of Bushido, gamers may recall Bushido Blade hitting the shops for the PlayStation a few years ago, as one of the first titles to break away from traditional fighting games by trying to cripple or instantly kill characters with one hit, rather than using a status bar to track the amount of damage done after each kick, punch or parry. Kengo: Master of Bushido is similar to Bushido Blade and it retains the generic health bar. It also has a "Ki-metre," which represents your ability to use special sword attacks and block your opponents' onslaughts. The unusual aspect of this game is that you spend the majority of the time developing your warrior's attributes by fighting non-lethal battles with a wooden sword. The game is full of mini-games, designed to enhance your characters stats and build endurance and power. But if you want to increase your abilities, you must actually fight and defeat opponents using the wooden blade. This will help you acquire the necessary fighting basics and will allow you to move up to gradually become a capable swordsman. As you defeat the enemies you get new moves, swords and special attacks, which can be inserted into your character's three-hit combo system--a very unique aspect of this game. The culmination of all this training, though, is somewhat of a disappointment. You get to compete in a single tournament where real blades are used. The tournament only has a handful of fights, a surprise battle, and then the credits start rolling. Just as in Bushido Blade, the combat is complex and offers up multiple parries and stances. The actual bloody combat, however, is relatively short-lived, which is bound to be very disconcerting to gamers looking for a hardcore hack-and-slash adventure. --Todd Mowatt

 Absolutely fantastic combat! May 5, 2001

What can I say? The game is rendered brilliantly, has great long-term playability due to the forms, characters and different abilities you can develop, and is immensely entertaining. You will understand what I mean the first time you allow an opponent to bleed to death in an imperial match. Mmmmmmmmmm, nice touch. If you are a fan of beat em ups and slasher games, this is one for you.

Kengo Master of Bushido is a fast, Frantic smaurai sword game set just after the Japanease civil war. It follows in Bushido Blades footsteps as the lead developers created it and shares many of its characteristics. The game has amazing graphics which challange even M.G.S 2 and every sword stroke and combo is modelled of real moves. This make it the most realistic sword fighting game of all time.It has 3 modes of whitch to play these are V.S ( pit yourself against a friend ),Single player (upgrade your character, fight other dojos, win exellent swords ect ) and tornement ( tekken style fight and progression system where you can bring characters from single player and fight them against other characters you have already fought). The main mode in Kengo is single player where you must first go through a series of tests before fighting other dojos.Every time you fight you gain experiance points which upgrade your character in various skills. These will max very quickly; and you will have to do various mini-game training tasks which involve various button bashing and well timed execution. The single player game lasts for ages and ages nad if you ever get bored you still have tornement mode to have a bash at. Combat is not regular button bashing hoping for a decent move. It is an art. You will have to perfecly execute deadly killer strokes that will seriously damage the enemy, keep your KI energy high so that your attacks are fast and pack a punch,youwill have to parry and constantly stay on your toes or face certain defeat, and block like every stroke the enemy makes is the one that will diminish your ever Fallinghealth bar. Blood comes by the bucket load in this game as certain strokes of your sword will cause the enemy to bleed continuasley droping there health bar slowly, but surely. FINAL COMMENT This is a game for fans of Bushido blade and hardcore beat em up fans who want a beat em upwith more depth than D.O.A 2 or tekken

I bought this on impulse because i liked bushido blade 1+2. This is really realistic, the graphics are amazing and the gameplay is ok. If you like fighting games then get it, but it is expensive if you don't
 Hmmmmm, its not bushido blade April 8, 2001

A real shame. The successor to bushido blade, one of the most innovative and original games for the PSone is reborn on the PS2 and becomes ...... a crappy arcade game.One of the most intriguing ideas in bushido blade was that there was no health bar. The idea of one blow ending a long and tiring fight was one of the best ever, and added a heightened sense of danger to the game. In Kengo, lo and behold, we have health bars. On the plus side, the game itself is beautifully rendered, with amazing real time shadowing effects, but all the eye candy in the world does not help an unoriginal idea.
