This is an excellent introduction to this series with strong varied combat between two protagonists that creates an excellent and engaging experience. The music is great with intense electronic and guitar tracks (favorites include Pledge Of Demon, Oath Of Enma, Red Radical Rage, Two Dragons, T U S K, and of course Friday Night). The presentation is great detailed but small environments brought to life by a plethora of interesting substories, friends and of course the Cabaret club and Real Estate minigames. And the most important thing in this game The Talking heads, the characters nearly every single main character in this game is interesting and well portrayed. Play this game!
