Review

Hardcore Square fans rejoiced when it was announced that the Brave Fencer Musashi series was coming back. I'm happy to report that these stalwarts will not be disappointed. In other reviews in this issue, I've taken games to task for sticking to staid design and plot clichés. Well, here's the review where I look like a hypocrite because, while it definitely features some well-worn concepts and plotlines, there's something oddly appealing about this game that keeps things feeling fresh throughout your adventure.

It's mostly down to superb execution. Square has implemented a character advancement and item system that rivals most full-blown RPGs. As expected, you can acquire new items and weapons, and improve your attributes in a number of areas. But what's really cool is how they've given you the ability to learn attacks from your enemies (á la Final Fantasy). By locking on to an enemy, you can instantly gain new abilities with a few well-timed button presses. It's ingenious, and adds a ton of depth to the proceedings. The deep and exacting combat is really at the core of what makes this a great game – especially in the gorgeous boss battles.

Aside from the combat, I found the story element – while not too original – very compelling. It's mostly due to the humorous dialogue, which hits that perfect note of classic Japanese whimsy and silliness. Little touches like being referred to by my instructor as "unripe melon" or having an enemy taunt me by exclaiming "I'm wicked popular!" brought more than a few chuckles.

While it does have its weaknesses (the levels are a bit generic and there was a bit too much backtracking for my taste), Musashi succeeds with great visual style, excellent humor, and rock-solid gameplay.

Concept:
A gorgeous and well-done sequel to a PSone cult classic

Graphics:
Cel shading is currently out of favor, but this shows how impressive it can be when done right

Sound:
Great score and funny voiceovers – too bad there's not more of them

Playability:
Platforming can be a little frustrating, but the combat system is primo hack n' slash

Entertainment:
Musashi overcomes its weaknesses with charm, style, and great gameplay

Replay:
Moderately High

2nd Opinion:
I was surprised at how charming I found Musashi to be as an action game, since it breaks many of the rules that I usually can't forgive – namely horrendous voice-overs and fairly repetitious gameplay. Even with these flaws the game manages to deliver a quality experience, which I would attribute to its fantastic art direction and entertaining boss encounters. It reminds of those mindless ninja games I used to play on NES for hours on end that really weren't that great or innovative, but delivered a nice serving of mindless hack n' slash with a heaping helping of the absurd. Musashi isn't for everyone. So I highly recommend a test drive before a purchase, but those that can look past its quirky story will be rewarded with a title that is a nice blend of Square Enix production values and good old-fashioned fun.

This game is very fun,I played the first Musashi"Brave fencer Musashi". on playstation a long time ago, and I have to say this game is as addicting as the old musashi.I got in trouble my mom and Dad scolded me for playing this game for too long.
This game has good graphics an the characters are likeable, and the puzzles are hard but not hard enought to give you a headeche,in my opinion the music in the fist mushashi was more epic but in this game the music is not bad.
I highly recomment this game and it is a deal, I only paid $3.00 bucks plus shiiping almost a steal, just get it people this game is for all ages I'm 26 and I love this game.

Never-once been opened (until now, I just opened it), holographic case, comes with the manual, even comes with an ad for a Fullmetal Alchemist PS2 game JUST to make me feel super old, AND the disc is in absolute perfect condition.

All for less than 60 bucks. It even came a day early!

Pretty Cool

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

While it's not the best game I've played, it's definitly one of my favorites. I love the animation and music (most of it at least). The actual characters themselves are a little annoying with cheezy lines, but I just ignore that and focus on the actual game. Like I said before, I love the animation/graphics. The characters move smoothly and the scenery is beautiful. The soundtrack seemlessly melts in and is very interesting. Over all game play is cool. The battle style is fun and easy to master. There are a few things I'm not crazy about however. As I said before, the characters' personalities and dialogue can be pretty lame. I catch myself cringing at their voices at times. I do love their outfits, though. Also some of the music is a little lame, but only a small portion. It can take on an annoying "surfer rock" feel to it, which I absolutely detest. One other thing I didn't like: You can only save in your room, which can be quite annoying when you are in the middle of a mission. Overall, a fun game.

The original is far and way the superior game...

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014

When it comes to underrated video game gems 1998's Brave Fencer Musashi was easily the odd man out when it came to the various games Squaresoft released during the PS1 era. Yeah, I know a lot people just bought the game just gain access to the Final Fantasy VIII demo and pretty much threw Brave Fencer aside - at their loss - but I'm sorry, there is just no way Samurai Legend can even come close to that game. In all honesty I hadn't touched this one in over a decade and its really easy to see why....

The game starts off well enough but soon every problem you can think off comes out of the woodwork. The world that Musashi is thrown into this game is simply nowhere near as engrossing as the first game because there simply isn't any humor in this game. Now, I'd expect some to point out the humor in the first game was "lame" because it revolved a lot around silly puns but at least the game was able to take that resource and make it its own - at least in my case. Additionally, I'd also expect some to say that the humor should have been scaled back as Musashi is older in this game... but without it the game literally has NOTHING to fall back on.

Once you look beyond the change in tone things just get bleaker. The game's adversaries (the members of the Grandrake corporation) are far from interesting, normal enemies constantly re-spawn (seriously, why can't they stay dead until I reenter a room?), bosses have an absorbent amount of HP and don't really have very big openings for attack, you CONSTANTLY have to adjust the camera to even see your attackers (don't even get me started this when it comes to bosses) and the development team couldn't even bother to give bosses health meters? I just don't get this... NONE of these problems exist in the first game so what's the deal?

Seriously, there is a reason this game costs next to nothing these days and I had to replay it to remind me of why a) the first game is the vastly superior creation and b) how far Squaresoft fell after the merger with Enix. Not even the game's music and art style can save it. While I'm probably (obviously) biased I'd suggest picking up Brave Fencer on the PlayStation over this. Yeah, it's much more expensive but at least that game had some actual soul. All Samurai Legend offers is a lot of promises it can't even come close to fulfilling.
