Based on the award winning manga series, Kekkaishi: Kokubourou no Kage allows you to experience the thrills of battling monsters as a Kekkaishi first hand.
The game is staged in Karasumori, a place that nurtures and attracts supernatural beings. To protect the place from being swarmed by these strengthening demons, junior kekkaishi Sumimura Yoshimori and Yukimura Tokine are exterminating them night after night.
The main idea of the game is to clear missions and process with the story, and the farther your progress with the game, the more mini missions you can unlock. The goal of the game is to beat the Kokuburou organization led by Kaguro.
Search for monsters in various places in Karasumori. Control the characters through your nunchaku and Wii remote control. Move the characters via the analogue stick on the nunchaku and aim your Wii remote control at your target. Press the A button once to hold your seal in place, flick it upwards to enlarge it, then press the B button to exterminate the monster within.
Get used to these simple controls and learn other tricks to face off with the fearsome beings that stalk your home town.
Fun, simple, arcade goodness! This game is a good example of what was fun back in the day, when arcades were awesome and everything was much more simple. You go through some diologue, play a liniar stage with a boss at the end, killing ayakashi along the way, then more diologue and maybe a mission or so. Granted I just started playing the game so I'm not sure if it does get any more complicated and yeah, the controls take a little getting used to. But so far, so fun.
If you are a kekkaishi fan, you should get it if you haven't already, especially for only 25 bucks, you can't go wrong. If you don't know what kekkaishi is, you should google for the manga or youtube the anime. It's good stuff.
It's not perfect, like you can't create as many kekkais as you want so yeah...that's why no 5 stars.
