A very pleasant surprise.
The combat system, which consists of numerous combos, some of which offer complete flexibility in design, could have been better. Every sword attack is done with one button, but I still found combat to be enjoyable. The only thing there is that you can easily win battles by running away to charge up chi, and then use your chi arts to deliver more damage than you possibly could with a sword. Overall, the gameplay was enjoyable and the story was well done. Graphics are impressive, and the music and voice-overs are effective. A great game for PSP.
