(Flash demo) SynopsisFantasy and reality blend in the ancient world of feudal Japan in Kengo: Legend of the 9. Fight for your life in battles loosely based on actual historic events, and assume the role of one of nine real samurai warriors. Travel through environments filled with gorgeous next-generation graphics and combine the samurai's signature deadly stealth and speed to overcome foes. As you defeat more and more enemies, you'll earn experience points and unlock newer and even deadlier attacks.
Get set for four awesome gameplay modes, including an enthralling Xbox Live mode that lets you go up against other players' online Artificial Intelligence samurai characters. Use the items you win online to further customize your character's attributes. Boost your health, stamina, attack power and defense by collecting and applying Spirit Spheres. Edit the attacks you've already acquired to deal out more destruction than before. Perform Instant Kills using grapple moves and use the environment to your advantage. Combine all these resources just like an efficient samurai of old and become a legendary Kengo master.

...You are sure to be disappointed.
The game follows the path of 9 samurai but their paths involve mindless fighting many times for no good reason. The cutscenes are bland when they could be extremely dramatic. The sound can be downright painful at times but the music is quite nice. The action in the game is not free flowing but you have cool environment executions which are fun to explore.
The fighting styles and control are interesting and somewhat addictive at times but the inability to heal during enemy onslaughts makes portions very frustrating. You cannot accumulate points for buying moves from battle to battle as well. So even if you beat a level, if you didn't fight well, your character stays a weakling.
For $20 it's a cheap thrill and a few more achievement points but also an exercise in patience.

The graphics are descent but the gameplay is a bit lacking. The controls are hard to get use to. I'd reccomend that you rent this game only.
