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The Bad- The graphics are very blocky and even outdated for the time it came out.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?
