story:5
gameplay: 8
music/sound: 9
graphic/animation/style: 9
funfactor: 8.5
replay value: 8

overall game value: 8.5


capcom games are a hit or miss and this game is yet another proof of this theory. from what i experienced i can safely say that it was a clean hit.

story: 5

you might see this and be shocked. the first thing to cross your mind might be "wait eugene, you're wrong, this game has a really amazing story, just check out the gamefaq plot analysis."

this is not true at all. the story in this game is complete crap. too many different points of views and the story in itself isnt intruiging the least bit. the beginning was stupid the middle was stupid and the end was stupid. too many change of characters, scenario, point of views and time involved in a short amount of time without warning and there is no consistent flow or background in the story telling at all.

the story sucked. HOWEVER. that is not what this game is meant for. this game is genius because of its PHILOSOPHICAL VALUE. if you research everything in this game youll find that it teaches you many japanese philosphies and ideals as well as historical fact. to those who bother researching or reading the analysis at gamefaqs youll realize how true this is. researching the game shows japanese philosphies, values, history, old/ new beliefs and more. i believe this was capcoms main goal.

since story isnt important in this game, i decided not to add this score into the final score of the game. this game isnt meant for the story, it has another purpose and it served that purpose well.


gameplay: 8

it is unique, what can i say? how many rail shooters do you see nowadays? this game might seem like a fps at first but it is far better than a fps. fps is basically pick up weapons, shoot and side step to dodge. this game you actually need to stop to aim and scan the enemy first. you then need to hit their critical spot to get the max amount of blood. this is what separates this game from fps. in fps, the entire body of the enemy serves as the target but in this game there are predetermined spots you must hit to kill them. you can kill them normally but this rewards you with no blood which leaves you with no healing items or upgrade material. precision aiming is crucial in this game.


music/sound: 9

the music in this game is absolutely gorgeous. i downloaded the ost (61 tracks holy crap) and it was beautiful. (personal favorites are blackburn and election plot. if you guys would like the link to the file download IM me at haggai0muhktiyar on aim). music is a big part in a game believe it or not. try playing through an entire game with the sound turned off and then play with it on. youll notice a big change in the atmosphere and your fun factor will increase by ten fold.

graphic/style/animation: 9

i love how the game looks like, its hauntingly beautiful. smooth frame rate and gameplay is consistent throughout the whole game and there is barely any load time between scenes.

fun factor: 8.5

replay value: 8

these two speak for itself


this is a damn good game and i enjoyed my experience.

SUDA 51 made this game for one reason. That reason is to give thier view of the world in the past, present, and future. They did this using nothing but the story, characters, and dialouge nothing else. Sure the graphics and gameplay were great but that was extra. These guys wanted to get a message out and they did.

I am just glad that another person likes the game. I don't care if Eugene doesn't like the story, hell he's entitled to his opinnion. I am just glad that someone else played the game and enjoyed it. No one is really willing to give this game a shot and that is unfortunate, because I doubt we will get a next gen sequel now.

Oh crap a prequel would be so awesome, but the problem is you could only be Emir and the whole gameplay factor would be changed because you could only be one person...

Still it would be cool and it'd explain stuff from Emir's point of view.
