Rengoku is about a robot trying to get to the top of a tower. On each level of the tower you enter a map wit rooms containing enemies. after you reach the rooms (there are very few in each level) a warp is opened to the next level containing a boss. The game repeats with a new level them boss and so on. The maps aren't repetitive and in the begining the game is a little hard. But as you progress through the levels you aquire more weapons which make the game easier.
Rengoku is a great game about strategy and weapons with great controls. the controls are the controls that you would figure you might use, nothing more nothing less.
Personally i think it was a great game but kids under the age of 12 might find it difficult and abandom the game. So don't get if for kids under that age. I hope I helped you.

I see a few reasons people might have problems with this game.

1. The controls. Yes, it doesn't use the analog nub, BUT the D-pad controls work just fine. People have managed to use the D-pad for movement for over a decade; all of a sudden it makes a game unplayable? Yeah right. Trust me, you'll get used to the controls after 15 minutes.

2. Too many things to keep track of. Yes, this game doesn't have a learning curve, it just starts you off in the thick of things right away. Guess what? There is an instruction manual that comes with it. Read it first, it will greatly help you understand what's going on. The game's amount of customization is amazing. If you spend 10 minutes to figure out what everything is (or just read the manual), then you'll be set.


Rengoku has tight and fast paced action, the fighting is furious and you can't let your guard down. The AI in this game is not stupid, it won't just stand there while you kill it. You have to use all your abilities to win.

This game might be too complicated for younger gamers, but for those who like to customize their charater and intense action, this game is for you.

It is a interesting little game, made as a simple little adverture game. Though it got three stars because after a while the game play gets stale

The second game is much better, but this is still fun! It doesn't deserve such a low rating, but let be known this is no masterpiece. It's much more difficult than its predacessor and the enemies aren't as balanced. The bosses are near impossible for first-time action gamers, but players familiar with hardcore psp games won't be scared. If you love robots and weapons its a great game.

Wow. The intro movie got me excited. Neat robots with guns mounted in their foreheads. And then there's the gameplay. It's been said in other reviews--room after room of boxes and opponents. I can't remember playing such an un-fun game. Too bad, as it's one of the only true originals for PSP. Avoid at all costs.

Ok here it is, I was anticipating this game b/c the description was very cool but unfortunatly that is all thats cool about it. First off you have to use the D- pad to control your character when the joystick would have been alot easier to use. The controls are horrible. From the first screen there were lost pixels and glitches. All the rooms look exactly alike except there might be a few more crates in one then the other. Anyways you cant save whenever you want and if you die you lose all your weapons that you picked up so you have to fight hand to whatever weapon your enemy has wich is very unfair. Anyways long story short...DO NOT BUY THIS GAME... I did and am going to get pissed when I go back to trade it in when all they will give me is 10 bucks after I wasted 40 on it.

This is the first PSP game i bought and about 20 games later still the worst. I have never played a game as simple as this one. There are toms of weapons and the graphics are descent but there is nothing that would make you want to continue. I would honestly rather play pong with myself.

I originally picked up this first version of the game used with some trepidation from various reviews and comments from game stores. I wasn't expecting very much, however, what I found was a totally addicting fighting game.

As you progress through the game you become more adept at what weapons to carry and use.

I liked the game enough that after I finished it, I purchase the sequel and recently completed it also.

First of all, some one said that the sound was terrible. I guess they were deaf or something because the soundtrack to this game is the best I have ever heard in a game. A lot of people complain that this game does not use the analog stick, but like another reviewer stated, people have been playing games with directional pads for decades, so who cares. The graphics are some of the best you will see on a the PSP, and the art gallery is stunningly beautiful and creative. This game creates a very tangible and unique feel, and a player can really get absorbed into the world it creates. The gameplay is as good as can be expected on a PSP. Te aiming is extremly simple, you get in ranged and hit and hold the L button, how hard is that??? Overall, this game is one of those rare titles that has absolute brilliant design and implementation. Whoever made this game had a top-notch imagination and really made this game with care. This game has a high level of polish and looks, sounds, feels, and plays excellent. A quality choice for anyone interested in a difficult, imaginitive and immersive experiance.

I have been renting alot of games since I got my PSP and this is hands down the worst of the lot. Like a previous reviewer said, the intro looked cool, but when you get to the game there is alot of disappointment.

First, the game play is terrible - the D pad is almost useless to use with any accuracy, and it's hard to control. Also, the character looks almost like a stick figure, and the 3rd person view, along with the garbage control made me feel like my character was flailing around.

Second, this game is about as repetitive as the old Pitfall for Atari 2600, except that is better. The rooms look the same and have just a different amount of crates in different configurations. At least Pitfall changed things up a little.

Third, the game is just not very friendly to the user - the options and menu screens seemed very difficult to use, (changing weapons), in fact weapons I picked up just seemed to disappear on the menu screens, (guess I did sorting wrong...) and interface is not very user friendly. You can't save the game when you want - and overall, I can't find any redeeming qualities to this game other than the cool movie intros. Do not even rent!
