i was just wondering if the reviews on rengoku I&IIwere a tad harsh (and if rengoku II is worth getting)...i played rengoku I and it was alright. sure the game didnt look that good and the floor...blandness, didnt bother me (its supposed to be grim etc). combat was alright aswell (the main thing that bothered me was that you coulnt attack while moving, but i heard that this was fixed in rengoku II). so should i get rengoku II? or get something else like gradius collection?

thanks in advance

I played 5 minutes of Rengoku and turned it off...mostly because the controls were horrible, as were the load times. I started the game (load), walked through the first door of the level (load), accidently walked backwards through the door (load), back through the door again (load), attacked the enemy, walked through the next door (load)...that was all I could take. Gradius, at least, has 5 games in the collection.

Are you trying to spell DROOLING? As in saliva dripping from your mouth uncontrolably?

so you played the 1st rengoku and you like it enough to think about getting the 2nd? Only saying this because the 1st gets a 5.4 or something but the 2nd gets a 6.4 or something so at least it's maybe an improvement. But they both sound kind of not so great. the gradius collection on the other hand gets an 8.2 -I know reviews don't tell the whole story but I thought i'd throw those scores into the mix for what they're worth. ---IGN gave the 1st a 6 and the 2nd a 5.9 though...so either way Gradius collection may be the right answer.

well the 2nd looks a whole lot better than the first. heres what i hear:

in the gfx department: the levels are no longer so bland and the androids look much better with more vibrant colours.

sound: not much of an improvement

gameplay: combat has been fixed so that you can shoot/attack while moving (major setback in the first one).

value: its like $10 (so is gradius)

hmmm at the moment it looks like rengoku....

Gradius has 5 games in one. And quite frankly it's hard as hell. But you'll only like it if you are into side-scrolling shooters. It's one of my favorite genres, so I was happy with it. I also enjoy Platypus...it's like a claymation Gradius. Check it out...it's only $20.

If you Google redoku2 and then click on 'products' you'll find a bunch of places that has it. Tiger Direct for one at 15.99 plus shipping no doubt. I think it's new but maybe call to make sure.
