[PS2] Ougon Kishi Garo

Publisher: Bandai
Developer: Bitstep
Genre: Action, 3D Fighting
Release: April 20, 2006

Ougon Kishi Garo, or Golden Knight Garo, is a fighting game adapted from tokusatsu series from Japan. You will play as Saejima Kouga, a strongest makai kishi with golden armor, who fight demons in order to find the murderer of his father.

The fight is nothing special. I have played one piece grand adventure before, so the fight is quite similar. Once you hit a combo, you can't change direction, which means an easy prey if the enemies dodged. The best feature in this game is the henshin mode. After executing several combo and fill the henshin gauge, you can change into Golden Knight Garo. Once you wear the armor,you are given 999 second until the armor wear off. I'm not sure yet, but it seems if you become Garo, you can't die. I've taken a lot of hit on my trial, but never die. The time move a lot faster, instead. The heroes, other makai kishi, is only 3, and the rest playable character is demons, so I don't think the line-up charas is better compared to similar games.

In summary, another good game for killing time. And if you like the action scene from the movie, you may like to play this game, though.
