All told, Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble is a solid, attractive addition to the PSP library for fans of beat-'em-ups. Its foundations are built well, it expands on the core formula in ways that are appropriate for the current design era, and it packs enough quirk and personality to stay interesting for the length of the fist-filled vacation. If nothing else, it's certainly not a title that will be easily forgotten by anyone who lays hands on it. Just remember-fight with style or don't bother fighting at all.
Atlus have slashed the prices of several games on the PS Store. Users can pick up great games such as the Persona trilogy for discount prices.
Still Expensive... I've just bought the Collectors Edition for 7.90Euros.
Ok, i cant play it on Vita, but it's a awesome price for this game and Edition!
Yup been waiting for such deals , and a pruchase of the vita to pick up persona 3 on psp (hey i already bought the game twice on ps2 ..)
This is too true, hopefully they make the psone titles available soon i just picked up FF8 & 9 and im going to have to pick up Persona 3
Well even if Psone titles aren't available on the vita yet i already took advantage of the spring fever sale and bought FF4/6/7/8/9/Tactics and planning to pick up Crimson Gem Saga/Hexyz Force/Persona 3 Portable.
Gaming Nexus writes: "Once upon a time there was a game called River City Ransom. On the surface this Technos game looked like any other 8-bit brawler, however it didn't take long to discover that this action game was incredibly ambitious. Instead of making you fight through levels that are straight out of a big budget action movie, this game took place around your home town. You were a bunch of teenagers exploring a series of inter-connecting areas, fighting gang members and saving the day."
GIN writes: "The beat-'em up (or "brawler") genre was one of the mainstays of the arcade and early consoles back in the late '80s and early '90s. The genre is rather basic. You controlled a character moving from one side of the screen to the other as you beat your opponents senseless. It was fun for awhile, but I found it to be repetitive. You always go the exact same way, fighting the same opponents with different colorings and pretty much using the same tactics. And do you want a story to go with it? Forget it, because it isn't and wasn't going to happen or magically appear. Atlus and its crew recently decided to show the world that beating the living daylights out of people is not dead. Welcome to the fictional world of Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble. And it's a pretty darn good game."
