Unfortunately Weak

Strengths: Soundtrack is good

Weakness: Rest is bad

This game is a PERFECT exmaple of how never to 'judge a book by its cover'. It looks like it might be a fun time, interesting concept, great artwork. But NO. When you try to play the game, it does not handle well with the PSP's control scheme. Over top of that, the gameplay is bland and repetive, so you really can't finish this game without a deathwish. I can't recommend this at all, even at the...

Great concept, poorly executed

Strengths: Graphics,story line

Weakness: Controls, gameplay: confusing and frustrating

I have owned this game for probably a month now and I am still substantially disappointed in it. At first, I thought this would be the best game out of the lot that I purchased, however, after 15 minutes of playing it the first day I got it, I realized how wrong I was. Maybe I just don't have the patience I used to have with these types of games but I expected a more action packed game and less...

Rengoku for PSP

Strengths: Graphics . Sound Effects . Concept

Weakness: Gameplay

The conecept of acquiring the weapons of the enemy and graphics was what turned me to purchasing this game. After playing the game for 1 week, I realized why it was clearanced. The gameplay and control is real week. Although nice to look at , it really is not something that will keep you entertained.

Good concept but failed execution

Strengths: Detailed Graphics

Weakness: Not fun to play

When you first load up Rengoku, it looks like you are going to have a great gaming experience. The graphics are detailed and look good but the game overall is a dud. The controls are stiff, the gameplay is boring and it's tedious and confusing. I do not reccomend this game unless you like games that are challenging (but not challenging in a fun way)

Dissatisfied

Strengths: Decent graphics and good stack of weapons. I also liked the characters and some of the powers they have.

Weakness: Confusing!! The path of the game is not explained properly. Also, sometimes the game ends abruptly when I expected a better ending.

Not recommended. I think the game is not worth the money. There is no fun playing this game...keeps you confused...and sometimes you keep wandering trying to figure out how to proceed with the game. The graphics are decent and the theme of the game is not that great either. I recommend spending your money on some other game!!

Yet another squandered opportunity released for the...

Strengths: Battle android FPS for PSP, sci-fi themed dungeon crawler action, solid soundtrack, multi-player support

Weakness: Awkward controls, highly repetitive enemies and environments, stiff animation, lots of backtracking, awkward dialog translations, limited customization options

Sony really needs to take another look at their quality control system for PSP software. The PSP library is hurting for good games at this point, and mediocre games like Rengoku don't do the system any justice. Rengoku puts you in control of battle android A.D.A.M. as you enter generic brown room after brown room and fight one uninspired robot after another. There isn't enough detail or creative...

Rengoku for PSP

Strengths: none

Weakness: controls are horrible

This game was $9.98, but not really worth it. It is boring and the controls are difficult. I will probably give this game away. Don't bother with it.

Rengoku for PSP

Strengths: There are many different weapons

Weakness: It is hard to navigate.

This is not a game that I would recommend. It is hard to navigate and kinda boring. There are lots of weapons though. But it was only $10.00, so not a great loss!!!

Strengths: none

Weakness: bad game

Rengoku

Strengths: customizeable weapons, graphic.

Weakness: controls!

This would be a very nice game in my book if it was not for the control setup. The analog stick is only to change your view and now to move your character. It is frustrating trying to move in this game with the direction pad. This is a fast paced action game and without being able to use the analog stick for move is terrible. I don't think i will be finishing this game because of this fact

Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory

Rengoku comes to us care of Hudson and Konami as a futuristic action game based around cyborg combat. The PSP hasn’t seen much attention from action games so far, so there was a fair amount of pressure on Rengoku to be a worthy entrance for the genre. Unfortunately many may be displeased. Rengoku The Tower of Purgatory, as the full title states, takes place within The Tower of Purgatory. This...
