    The fighting world has a brand new and addictive style of gameplay. Kengo pays homage to an art form that's rarely seen, and plays as a well-crafted and fun experience that no fighting-game fan should miss.

    With 20 characters, various training missions, and a surprisingly fun 2-player mode, there is a lot to be played in Kengo.

    A spiritual descendant of the Bushido Blade series, Kengo is a pretty bad game that doesn't live up to its fine heritage.

    i had this game for years and years now...i still play it. so this post is very late in due, but if you are reading this and want to find a real samurai game, without the crapy arcade flash and exagerated things...this is your game. this is very realistic, pretty and surprisingly addictive game. good luck finding it though!!!!...i think i had it for more than 5 years now!… Expand

    It's interesting to me that the critics who complained about the gameplay also neglected to mention any "single player" action beyond the training and dojo stages. This is a game that well rewards all efforts put into it, and has been a favorite of mine for the last year. For those who bother to learn the play controls, which are very different from most games of this genre, they do become intuitive after sufficient play. It's just a question of patience, which, to me, is a more accurate depiction of what Bu Shi Do should be.… Expand
