Game is situated in 16th century Japan, and you need to rescue young prince or something, everyone are cartoony looking animals. (Of course, as this is based to comic book!)
Main point of this game is, that it is NOT just another sword-man game, you have to show RESPECT to other ones, even to nasty ones, or you are soon in trouble (read: dead) and you can raise your karma by giving money to poor peasants. Of course you can play bloodthirsty bastard who kills everyone in your way, but you don´t live very long that way, as when you need to eat, do you really think someone still stays around to make food for you when YOU enter restaurant...?
You just can´t walk around sword in your hand! How many fighting games there are where IT IS NOT A MUST TO HOLD A WEAPON IN YOUR HANDS ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!?
This is THE ONLY ONE martial arts game I know which has things like respect and honor (yojimbo makes suicide if his karma drops to zero, URGGHhhhh!) every other game is just that "kill everyone in sight to prove how macho bullshit you are". (thought in Exploding Fist and International Karate fighters greeted each other before fight, but that´s it)
There are lots of different characters and you can also choose your route.
This is one of those "play it now!" games which are hard to leave... it´s just SO GOOOOD!!!
