NCS Product Synopsis
Update: October 27, 2006
«©NCSX» The seedy underbelly of the Kamurocho district fosters all breeds. The ones that stand out in Ryu Ga Gotoku however are the bad seeds; the Yakuza inspired gangsters and killers who use force and devious design to unhinge their fellow man. The protagonist in the adventure is a bruiser named Kazuma who went to prison and summarily broke out. As the game starts, Kazuma is standing in the middle of a neon lit street while throngs of night life seekers stroll and mill about. Accidentally bump into someone and witness his or her stumbling motion and arm waving antics.
Kamurocho
Eagle-eyed "night-life" lovers may notice the similarities between the virtual streets of Kamurocho and the adult entertainment district of Kabukicho just north of Shinjuku Station. Visitors to Kabukicho may enjoy venues such as peep shows, massage parlors, strip clubs, private nudie sessions, porn theaters, and even illicit companionship for the pittance of a few thousand yen. Think of it as an adult amusement park that's currently ruled by the Chinese triads.

Move Kazuma forward a bit and follow the fellow
thug who wears a purple and gold shirt to a
building. After entering the building, a cinema
shows an encounter where a meek subject suddenly
turns into a tiger wielding a golf club. This
leads to the first battle of the game which is
basically a training mission which teaches the
various moves and combos that are available.
Guide Kazuma and punch and power-punch the thugs
in the room and their golf club swinging boss.
The fighting is a full-fledged 3D action game
where the controls are smooth and the punches
rattle off in fluid motion. To grab someone in a
choke hold, press the "O" button. To follow up
with a head butt while choking someone, hit the
SQUARE button. Thugs who are being choked may
also be smashed into walls by pressing the
TRIANGLE button when prompted. In addition to
punches and smacks, Kazuma may pick up the golf
club and other items in the room to whack foes
with them. For example, pick up a waste basket
and hurl it at a thug's head... We would have
preferred more of a fight in the training
mission since the thugs don't put up any
resistance at all. They just sort of circle
Kazuma and try to look menacing.
