I played thru this so many times when I was younger. I literally have no idea why I got rid of it but playing it again now I realize how much fun it was! If you like hack and slash anime games with cheesy dialogue this Is for you! The game was in great condition and I’m so happy the booklet was included. Happy to have this back in my collection!

Join Musashi on his adventure to defeat the evil Gandrake and save the princess. This is the typical story line of Samurai Legend Musashi. The game play is solid with great vivid effects and anime style graphics. Musashi runs through the world he has been thrown into fighting off bad guys to gain experience, new items and of course be the hero of the day. It's easy to learn the moves and gain new attacks. The bosses are not very difficult to defeat at all making the game a smooth ride for people that just want to progress through the story. The story line itself is pretty simple but that's okay because there are a lot of side items to do in the game as well including saving people other than the princess, running through the arena games and playing in a circus show. Plus you get to beat your baddies down with a kick-ass boat oar... who doesn't want to do that? Downsides to this game is that normal baddies (not the bosses) reappear continuously (even after you've killed them off time and time again) which can get annoying after a while. Also, the voice acting in this game can make your ears bleed it's that bad. And lastly can we say where is the save point at? There are no save points once you start a mission leaving a person stuck playing for hours before until they complete one quest before they can save their progress. If you're looking for a light care-free anime role-play game then I would definately recommend it. Everyone seems to give this game a bad rap and even though I agree it does have some down sides to it all in all it was a great game.Read full review
To begin, this game is great. I remember playing it with my brothers when I was young and I decided to get it with my purchase of the PS3. My PlayStation does in fact have backward compatibility, so I am able to enjoy it without digging through boxes to find my old PS2, which has served me well. I have not disliked a game made by SquareEnix in any of its earlier forms (Square, SquareSoft, etc.), from Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo to Musashi to the new Kingdom Hearts (Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days). What reminded me of this game was its excellent music. When I visited my brother at college, he was in his dorm room with his iTunes playing a familiar melody. And I asked him what it was, and he told me it was "The Village of the Sacred Beast". I was in awe, and immediately got him to save the music to a flash drive. Anyway, now I can visit the Anthedon at anytime as I travel the globe. The reason why I love this game is its unique storyline, original graphics, and most of all its amazing gameplay. You learn new abilities as you excel through the game and encounter more enemies. You have the ability to literally cut robots in half. And most importantly, you save the princesses to unlock new swords and defeat Gandrake. Always and forever, I rate this game a 5 out of 5 in all of its exciting aspects, and recommend it to anyone with a eye for great games.Read full review
Prepare for big wide open spaces of nothingness and "Harvest Moon" graphics. Welcome to the world of Brave Fencer 2. Obviously even before playing this game, you will note the futuristic, gun-play, present day, and extra cool design of Mushashi and his world. This game is actually not an sequel but at the same time it is, just like how "Evil Dead 2" is really an remake of the original "Evil Dead". BFM2 sets off from various points of view. One view is that it is an spin-off from the comic ( manga ) from it's nation origin. Another view is that Kojiro ( see Team Rocket/Japanese folklore ) is now the emporer, sorceror, and leader of the Capricola Empire far into the future. Keep in mind how in the original Brave Fencer; Kojiro was absorbed into the Dark Lumina and was mutated.locals from the original game is easily recognizable. The battle tower ( tower of hoy ) is presented. The buildings consisting of pipes are presented as well. Enemies that uses mists/steam are presented. The maze forest from the original game is one of the first area to explore. The game itself was put together in an hurry and all the spark that made the original game great has been removed or minimized. For example the town is now a ship on an whales back ( simular to the turtle elephant thingy ). There is no town just rooms for people who have been kidnapped. In the original game missing people were all presented at the palace or the place wehre they were needed. Instead they all have rooms. It is like the game does not care about the commoners. Also the action figure/doll system is replaced with an card system. As you release people they are teleported and a new room is open to you. About music and voice tracks. I have a feeling the original music to this game was altered. Along with original wordings. The first Brave Fencer was decent and fun enough to play. However this game immediatly have western themed music. The same cartoonish stuff from Spoonge bob. Like listen to Texan music 24/7 in most cases. Gone are the RPG stylistic music that you can fall a sleep to with joy. However this does not make the game unplayable at all. Running up and down with Mushashi is just like before but he is more annoying and more louder. I don't know if this is how the original game was but the constant voice is noticable. You can't turn it off. The characters also sound like a mix between Chinese and mid-western Americans. While I do like the Hong Kong martial arts movie voices along with the design of everything is kinda annoying. If "Beyond Good and Evil" had stuck with the Asian American Jade, instead of the mid-level Jade I think the game would have made less of an impact. The same is said for Mushashi but Mushashi throws this Asianess right in your face extremly poorly. Asides for that everything sounds less like Anime and more like a bad train crash. For Audio this game is terrible compared to the original Mushashi. Would I recommend this game to somebody else. Only if you have played the first game yes. Otherwise it feels kind of odd to even pick this up. It is just cheap thrills but stays in line with the original game. If they had removed the cat, and not use the idea that Mushashi is retraining himself I would actually love this thing. A talking cat that refashions lumina into a rusty blade makes no logic at all. They just made this thing extra stereotypical and commercial but exciting enough to keep you playing it.Read full review
This game is a game like Kingdom Hearts. It is like the same because it was made my Square Enix and that is the company that made Kingdom Hearts and this game is like Kingdom Hearts, only that it is cel shaded and you have no team mates fighting along with you. Also that if you have a backwards compatible playstation 3, do not play this game on it! Reasons are that their is so much flickering lights from the backwards compatiblity problem with the playstation 3 that is feels like I am about to have a sezire. Beside that, good game and great job Square Enix
This is the typical RPG. You find your character transported to a far away land and asked to save the princess. After that you are also asked to fight the evil corportion of the land. The battle system goes as such, you go to the enemy press X 3 or 4 times and then move on. This is pretty fun at first but it grows old quickly and you find yourself clearing dungeons of variations of the same three enemies you fight in the first land. Now the game does have something going for it. That would be the beautiful graphics. The cell-shaded look does wonders for this game and it shows from the very beautifully animated special attacks.Unfortunatly the voice acting is awful and there is no way to turn it off unless you turn down the volume, which I did. The music in this game is good but with the great scores of music in other games this one did not match up. If you are desperate for a action RPG there are plenty of other good action RPGs on the market (aka Kingdom Hearts). If you really want this game after this then you should know that you can probobly expect around 30 hours or so from this game. This game had lots of promise but with the boring battle system and terrible story you would be well advised to stear clear of this game.Read full review
