NCS
Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
The
seedy underbelly of the Kamurocho district fosters
all breeds. The ones that stand out in Ryu Ga Gotoku
however are the bad seeds; the Yakuza inspired
gangsters and killers who use force and devious
design to unhinge their fellow man. The protagonist
in the adventure is a bruiser named Kazuma who went
to prison and summarily broke out. As the game
starts, Kazuma is standing in the middle of a neon
lit street while throngs of night life seekers
stroll and mill about. Accidentally bump into
someone and witness his or her stumbling motion and
arm waving antics.
Move Kazuma forward a bit and follow the fellow thug who wears a
purple and gold shirt to a building. After entering
the building, a cinema shows an encounter where a
meek subject suddenly turns into a tiger wielding a
golf club. This leads to the first battle of the
game which is basically a training mission which
teaches the various moves and combos that are
available. Guide Kazuma and punch and power-punch
the thugs in the room and their golf club swinging
boss. The fighting is a full-fledged 3D action game
where the controls are smooth and the punches rattle
off in fluid motion. To grab someone in a choke
hold, press the "O" button. To follow up with a head
butt while choking someone, hit the SQUARE button.
Thugs who are being choked may also be smashed into
walls by pressing the TRIANGLE button when prompted.
In addition to punches and smacks, Kazuma may pick
up the golf club and other items in the room to
whack foes with them. For example, pick up a waste
basket and hurl it at a thug's head... We would have
preferred more of a fight in the training mission
since the thugs don't put up any resistance at all.
They just sort of circle Kazuma and try to look
menacing.
Kamurocho
Eagle-eyed "night-life" lovers may notice the similarities between
the virtual streets of Kamurocho and the adult
entertainment district of Kabukicho just north of
Shinjuku Station. Visitors to Kabukicho may enjoy
venues such as peep shows, massage parlors, strip
clubs, private nudie sessions, porn theaters, and
even illicit companionship for the pittance of a few
thousand yen. Think of it as an adult amusement park
that's currently ruled by the Chinese triads.
