Kingdom of Paradise

"A waste of money, I don't think so!!!"

This game is amazing. I don't even know where to start. The graphics are outstanding and the story is amazing.

Story:

The story is about a boy named shinbu who is trying to stop this clan called the kirin from taking over the world. In the game you are on your journey with a girl named su lin. She is part of your clan, the eastern seiryu. On Shinbu's journey you will meet his father Hohaku and his mentor Professor Sedatsu. His father is an amazing fighter. He is very strong and quick. Throughout the game you travel to different clans and find out clues about the kirin. You also read their ancient monument which is a stone tablet that allows you to learn each clans special ability.

Graphics:


As for the graphics, it is a 3 dimensional game that actually shows the details of the body. You can actually see the muscles in some of the people in the game.

Music:


The music is great. Every city has a different song, and the battles have a different song. The boss battles have more of a rough tone, while the regular ones are a little more calm.

Gameplay:


The gameplay is probobly the best part of the game. You actually walk around the world and fight the enemies. It's kind of like the game Devil May Cry. You can never get tired of this game. I've beaten the game twice and I still don't have all the bugei. Bugei is an ancient scroll that enemies usually drop that you can use to improve your character's fighting style. There are over 100 different fighting styles you can create.

Extra:


There are many challenging bosses in this game. The first boss is hard, but throughout the game it gets even harder (Especially The Last One). You can also buy different swords. Most of them do not allow you to use the power from the ancient monuments, but they usually have more attack. You can also upgrade your weapons at a shop. This gives it more attack power. The game has a very basic level up system like most games. You kill an enemy and then you gain exp (Experience) points. But you can also level up your chi or power from the ancient monument. If you have a psp I would consider buying this game. If you don't have a psp, buy one and get this game. I am still playing it today and I am not 1% tired of it.
