The MUSASHI Series

Postby Tommy » Fri Aug 04, 2006 11:20 am

I just beat Brave Fencer Musashi last night and started Musash: Samurai Legend today (Am I now about to beat Chapter 2), and I have to say these games are sick and deserve a thread.

Let us compare:

BRAVE FENCER MUSASHI:
The Good- The plot is good, the humor is funny, the tunes are catchy, the characters are nice, the voice acting is great and the game itself is just overall fun.

The Bad- The graphics are very blocky and even outdated for the time it came out. No dodgerolling (sorry, I felt the game needed that), and the most challenging part is trying to find out where to go next. Besides that, this game was very easy and short.

[SPOILER] The one problum I had was that we didn't get enough backround information on where Musashi lives and we barely know anything about his rival,Kojiro, besies the fact he is unhealthly cocky. [/SPOILER]

The Ugly- Rootrick.

MUSASHI: SAMURAI LEGEND
The Good- Nice use of cel-shaded grahics. The "Duplication" technique is far better than the "Assimilation" technique in Brave Fencer Musashi since now the moves you learned are remembered. The combat system itself is more fun runs more smoothly. The tunes are still catchy.

The Bad: The prolbum is simply that this game tries to retell the story of brave Fencer Musashi and tries to pretend the first one never existed. Why do I say that? Because they are making sequels to this plot and not the other one. luckily, they are only available on the cellphone. "Musashi Mobile" and "Musashi Den II" follow after thsi game.
While the combat system is more fun, enemies seem to need to take a lot more damage, giving the game a repetitive feel.

The Ugly: HAVE YOU FREAKIN HEARD MUSASHI'S VOICE IN THIS GAME...UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!1111111

Anyways, these are both good games, while Brave Fencer is highly superior. Any comments?

I remember watching my brother play his borrowed copy of Brave Fencer Musashi a long time ago. XD I kinda wish I could find that game again, because it was pretty cool. But see, there was this character called "Scribe Shanky," and I'm like, 99.9% sure he was a total flame. xDD "Come clo~se~er..." Man. That guy was a trip. XD But yeah, if I ever get any cash, I'm going to buy this thing. Someday.

- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

You should totally buy Brave Fencer Musashi. It's the polar opposite due to the fact it's awesome. Dude, Steve Blum is a VA in it. Musashi's shirt in the first is a little more.....normal.
