Thread: Fist of the North Star Ken's Rage

Yesterday I was looking around the PSN Store looking for some cool demos to try when I found this. I did not know anything about the game or how it played but I remember the series and I really enjoyed it so I thought I'd download it.

The demo itself doesn't give you much, but enough to have me interested in the game. You get to play as Kenshiro or Rei I believe it was. Kenshiro's demo is bascially just a big boss battle and that's it. It is still pretty neat though and shows the challenge you might have to face.

Rei is more detailed and you actually go through a mission. The game plays kind of like a Dynasty Warriors game, which makes sense considering it is a Koei game. The controls are similar and the map layouts. However the maps themselves are much more narrow for the paths you take and there weren't nearly as many people to fight/kill/murder. It was still pretty fun though and I'm tempted to look into the full game.

Is anyone else here a fan of the series?

Same developing and publishing companies at least. When I played it you could certainly tell they felt similar in many ways.
