Bushido Blade and its sequel were one of the most creative fighting titles released on the PlayStation, and while the spiritual successor on the PlayStation 2, Kengo: Master of Bushido, was disappointing, Crave Entertainment hopes to rectify their mistakes with the next Kengo title, Kengo: Legacy of the Blade. Instead of Sony’s black box, however, Crave is targeting Kengo: Legacy of the Blade for the Xbox, promising leaps in both graphics and gameplay thanks to the extra power Microsoft’s machine offers. "Kengo makes a tremendous leap in coming to Xbox," said Holly Newman, Executive Vice President at Crave Entertainment. "Gameplay will be refined to highlight classic bushido elements in a refreshing blend of both meditation and combat. The graphical capabilities combined with the internal Xbox specifications will make for one of the most complete, and in-depth, fighting titles ever created." Similar to most of the new games we are hearing about in past weeks, E3 should be our first chance to check out Kengo: Legacy of the Blade in action. We will have personal impressions of Crave’s Xbox fighter in a few weeks, but to whet your appetite, have a gaze at the game’s feature list and a few tasty screen shots and character artwork. - Selectable characters with different storylines
