I imported it from Japan on day one, it's so awesome. If you like the Musou/Warriors series and love Fist of the North Star, you'll be able to get hours of enjoyment from this. I'm probably an extreme example, but I've put 60 hours into this game. The local split screen co-op is largely responsible for this. Definitely give this game a shot if this type of game is your style.

Also worth noting, the OST is pure gold: Ai wo Torimodose speaks for itself.

This is fantastic. Is there a version with the vocals?

Loved the demo

Now i dont know if i should get it on 360 or ps3

I know it wont have online multi so my first instinct is PS3, but the control on 360 worked just fine.

Hm?

When I think of Koei I think of Dynasty Warriors and none of those games have ever interested me. Is this gonna be the same one button hack-n-slash gameplay as those? From the trailer it kinda reminds me of God Hand on the PS2 and I loved that game. Can somebody fill me in on what to expect?

Its more complicated than the dynasty warriors games, but it is still a muso title.

Id say try the demo out.
