Brave Fencer Musashi [U] ISO
[SLUS-00726]

What a fun little game this is. A departure from square's usual titles(serious RPG's and stuff) and something fresh and new.
You play as (yes you guessed it!) The brave Fencer Musashi. A boy on an "Epic" quest to do whatever he thinks is worth doing!
There is not alot to say about this game. Bottom line.
It's Fun, Try it out!
4/5

First things first, this is a 90's anime the game. The game is filled with the now laughable dubbing, sexual/suggestive humor in the style of Tenchi and weird name changes(all the enemies are named after Soda in english but were originally alcholic drinks in japan) just like a 90's anime. Action is almost like a mix of Zelda and a primative DMC. It's Zelda in that there's puzzle sovling invovling hitting switches and DMC in that over the course of the game, you get a host of Weapons that all have their story based uses that you can ignore. What makes this stand out is Fusion, your primary sword which allows you to abosrb abilites from enemies(almost in a megaman-ish way).
This game is a classic,in every respect and went under the main stream radar in an era where this game would blown people's mind. It holds up better than other PS1 gems, becase of it's stylized 3D graphics which fit the anime art style displayed in text boxes.
A few negatives: This game has a required sleep mechanic, however this is easily side stepped by going to the local Inn regularly. There are two timed missions through out this game that will push your skills. If you fail either two timed missions, you will instantly game over and must restart from your last save(which may be 20 minutes of story before the timed mission).

If you like this game and this game ever comes to American or Euro PSN(as of 9/9/12 it's only in Japanese PSN), buy it and show your support to this franchise. I'm hoping one day we get a Musashi 3 and it's more like this game then Samurai Legend.
