A Very Good and Fun Action Packed Fighting Game for Kenichi Fans

User Rating: 9.5 | Shijyou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi: Gekitou! Ragnarok Hachikengou PS2
This is the first game that has been released based on the adaptation of the popular Anime series "Kenichi History's Strongest Disciple". It is a really addictive games for anime fans, it has a very easy learning curve and has a great training mode to practice new attacks. Over-the-top special attacks are a blast to watch. It is currently only available in Japan, but can be imported to US/UK and played on a *** or region unlocked console. This game is exclusive to the PlayStation 2 only.

All of the main characters from the Anime series from the Ryouzanpakou masters to the 8 Ragnarok Fists are playable characters in this game. This means you can fight as First Fist Odin (Ryoto) or whoever your favorite character is in the anime. Capcom have cleverly adapted the attacks used in the anime into the game, so you can play as the "hero" or the "baddy".

Kenichi fans will recognise the stages used in the game such as the School Roof Top (where Kenichi fought Takeda) and outside the dilapidated church (where Tanimoto was defeated by Kenichi) etc. This makes it seem like you are actually watching the Anime.

Kenichi History's Strongest Disciple: Gekitou! capably captures the spirit of Kenichi, delivering a stylish fighting experience that's both easy to pick up and easy on the eyes. It has a great story mode based on the anime storyline. Fight against Ragnarok members. The voices are by the same seiyus, so it is more like the anime. It should certainly make it a hit with Kenichi fans. If your looking for a fast paced action game, your in the right place.

The graphics could have been better, but the gameplay and action compensates for it. It is $40 well spent. Bring on the next Kenichi game Capcom for the PS3 please :D.
