Rengoku is an awsome game depending on who you are

Rengoku is about a robot trying to get to the top of a tower. On each level of the tower you enter a map wit rooms containing enemies. after you reach the rooms (there are very few in each level) a warp is opened to the next level containing a boss. The game repeats with a new level them boss and so on. The maps aren't repetitive and in the begining the game is a little hard. But as you progress through the levels you aquire more weapons which make the game easier.
Rengoku is a great game about strategy and weapons with great controls. the controls are the controls that you would figure you might use, nothing more nothing less.
Personally i think it was a great game but kids under the age of 12 might find it difficult and abandom the game. So don't get if for kids under that age. I hope I helped you.

Only rented it and I still feel cheated

Wow. The intro movie got me excited. Neat robots with guns mounted in their foreheads. And then there's the gameplay. It's been said in other reviews--room after room of boxes and opponents. I can't remember playing such an un-fun game. Too bad, as it's one of the only true originals for PSP. Avoid at all costs.

This game is awsome.

I see a few reasons people might have problems with this game.

1. The controls. Yes, it doesn't use the analog nub, BUT the D-pad controls work just fine. People have managed to use the D-pad for movement for over a decade; all of a sudden it makes a game unplayable? Yeah right. Trust me, you'll get used to the controls after 15 minutes.

2. Too many things to keep track of. Yes, this game doesn't have a learning curve, it just starts you off in the thick of things right away. Guess what? There is an instruction manual that comes with it. Read it first, it will greatly help you understand what's going on. The game's amount of customization is amazing. If you spend 10 minutes to figure out what everything is (or just read the manual), then you'll be set.

Rengoku has tight and fast paced action, the fighting is furious and you can't let your guard down. The AI in this game is not stupid, it won't just stand there while you kill it. You have to use all your abilities to win.

This game might be too complicated for younger gamers, but for those who like to customize their charater and intense action, this game is for you.

What a let down..instant trade in...stay away

Ok here it is, I was anticipating this game b/c the description was very cool but unfortunatly that is all thats cool about it. First off you have to use the D- pad to control your character when the joystick would have been alot easier to use. The controls are horrible. From the first screen there were lost pixels and glitches. All the rooms look exactly alike except there might be a few more crates in one then the other. Anyways you cant save whenever you want and if you die you lose all your weapons that you picked up so you have to fight hand to whatever weapon your enemy has wich is very unfair. Anyways long story short...DO NOT BUY THIS GAME... I did and am going to get pissed when I go back to trade it in when all they will give me is 10 bucks after I wasted 40 on it.

Simply awesome

The game is just awesome,kicking android but,shooting fire off a gun and other weapons.The graphics are hot and the gameplay is beautiful.This game is about an android locked in a tower,what you have to do is find new weapons,up-grade old weapons,kill all enemys and get to the top of the tower,the android walks a little weird but that doesnt matter.The best is,you can play multi-player,I dont know if you get to choose different androids in story mode,but in multi,you get to choose different androids with different equipment.The game is just plain awesome.If you need any help with games or PSP games you can contact me to jeancarlo@libertypr.net

I have been renting alot of games since I got my PSP and this is hands down the worst of the lot. Like a previous reviewer said, the intro looked cool, but when you get to the game there is alot of disappointment.

First, the game play is terrible - the D pad is almost useless to use with any accuracy, and it's hard to control. Also, the character looks almost like a stick figure, and the 3rd person view, along with the garbage control made me feel like my character was flailing around.

Second, this game is about as repetitive as the old Pitfall for Atari 2600, except that is better. The rooms look the same and have just a different amount of crates in different configurations. At least Pitfall changed things up a little.

Third, the game is just not very friendly to the user - the options and menu screens seemed very difficult to use, (changing weapons), in fact weapons I picked up just seemed to disappear on the menu screens, (guess I did sorting wrong...) and interface is not very user friendly. You can't save the game when you want - and overall, I can't find any redeeming qualities to this game other than the cool movie intros. Do not even rent!

rent it first

i know most reviews say that this game never should have been made, but it really depends on the gamer. i bought it as my first psp game, and i loved it for the first month and a half, but then it started to drop slowly in its replay value. the levels are not very different, but the controls are pretty good, better than halo 2, and the graphics are very good in most parts, so you should rent or borrow this first. i personally would reccommend waiting for gta, burnout legends or armored core, but if you like this game, you will love it, and if you dont like it, you will hate it. peace out.

Nice graphics. Horrible game.

This game is boring, repetative and downright dull. The concept was cool but the coolness is overshadowed by the poor controls, poor sound, cheesy bosses and HIGHLY repetative maps.

Avoid this game like the plague. Trust me.

Graphics are great, but ...

The cover of this PSP game looked so cool that I just had to get it ... even before the price came down. But once I got it, and had it inserted to play, the disappointment mounted.

First of all, the menu when you're trying to upgrade your guy is SOOO complicated. I got lost very easily, and wasn't at all sure what I was supposed to do. So I ended up just hitting things randomly.

Second, the movement of the character around the environment is so ... BIZARRE ... and the fighting ... even on the first level is so very difficult.

It's a waste of money.

Really Good Game.
