PS2 Ponkotsu Roman Daikatsugeki Bumpy Trot - New Import

Set in an alternate reality which is in the throes of an industrial revolution, the world of Ponkotsu is a peculiar mix of oil burning lamps, windmills, cars, and versatile machines known as Bumpy Trots. The lead in Ponktosu is a youth named Vanilla Beans who hangs out with a girl called Coriander. As the story goes, Vanilla Beans has no memory and hopes to recollect his  history. Along with Vanilla's story, a band of Bumpy Trot bandits has been causing trouble and it's up to Vanilla and Coriander to squash their thieving ways. The game is played in standard 3-D exploration and interaction where the heroes travel around a town and speak to denizens. Tasks may be commissioned and fighting competitions between Bumpy Trots may be entered in the town arena to earn some extra cash.    The game engine also features a number of rhythm games where instruments are be played including a harmonica, a piano, flute, and others. Bemani fans will groove right into the rhythm games since they're based on Konami's visual cue and button-bopping system. When an instrument is located, a quick concert may be held with your ragtag orchestra and crowd reaction determines how the story proceeds. Play well and the audience will greet you with love. Hit all the wrong notes and boos fill the atmosphere.    A vanilla Bumpy Trot can't match up to some of the BTs that the thieves use in the game so Bumpy Trots may be upgraded by way of seven parts such as the arms, the main body, and the legs. To enhance a BTs fighting or throwing skills, the arms may be upgraded with stronger models. To move faster, more mobile legs may be attached for a speedier Bumpy vehicle. A Bumpy Trot serves many purposes and may be used as a tool for fighting in sporting tournaments, for farming, fire fighting, and other tasks that may be required around town.
