MONTHLY MUSOU! That'll save Japan!

Shin Sangatsu Musou = Gundam Musou

My X button trembles with faux anticipation! ;)


Musou - the Power Pro Kun of action slashers.

Yay @ DSS (bring it here someone), Gears, and Etrain Odyssey! Surprising score for Shining Force Ikusa. I'm guess Wario got 7s because of the touch-screen controls?

:D :D @ FE!

Gundam Musou apparently has a slightly different structure from Dynasty Warriors. In each area you have to keep defeating enemies until a mid-boss shows up and after defeating it you complete the area. At the end of the entire stage is a main boss.

Some review tidbits:

Yggdrasil Labyrinth

-Mapping is simple and intuitive
- Leveling is a must if you want to survive
- The save system and acquistion of money is pretty harsh
- Party and skills are very customizable
- It's pretty hard to attain equipment
- The appearance of harder enemies beyond the balance of the areas add significant tension

Shining Force EXA

- Similar to the original (Neo) in systems
- There are strong enemies unrelated to the main quest
- Good and fast tempo
- Tons of optional stuff to do with the Fortress and so on

Japan likes GOW more than Europe confimed?

So, can I be the first to get flamed for saying that GOW will be one of the best selling 360 games in Japan up to this point just like Halo was for the original Xbox? I got flamed saying that about Halo when it came out in Japan.

Although, GOW is supposed to have a Z rating in Japan isn't it? That might put a dent in things. Still surprising that Famitsu gave it such great scores.

Have a fun! Enjoy!

Only if Lucas Arts convinces Koei?Omega Force to make a Jedi Musou with Jedi combat.

Yoda dicing Battle Droids
& Clone Troopers
FTW!

You know the Star Wars Universe have enough Jedi's and Sith Lords to fill up such a game.
