You can also neutralize a players movement ability by slashing at their legs, forcing them to drag along. Even more you can slash their arms to take their offensive abilities away. Bushido Blade also worked on a "counter-attack" system where you riposte and parry while working on center of gravity balancing... However, the KENGO series features none of this. Its a bad samurai game with health bars rather than critical hits, it has very few movements and very few weapons. Combine that with being slow and unbalanced, making it even worse.

That's rather disappointing, being a big fan of the Bushido Blade series myself on the PSone I've been craving for a game with a similar style and nature for years (wouldn't have minded Square-Enix pulling off a next-gen sequel either). I'll probably end up renting Kengo Zero to see everything this title has to offer, but with low expectations. So it’s not that hot then?

The Kengo series at first followed the storyline featured in the Bushido Blade series, but it supplied lackluster gameplay and the dumbest combat system known to man... 3 games later and the series still sucks... Personally, I'm not looking forward to this. By someone who has always been a big fan of the Bushido Blade series, I have always HATED the Kengo series.
