It's Time To Rise.....

Revengeance is awesome in my opinion. The whole game is cool. Now to make things clear: This is not a Solid title although it was called that in the beginning of its development. It is a spin-off title based around Raiden. So onto the review:
Story: The story is a bit here and there with its concept. The story wasn't really a highpoint for the game. The gameplay was. But anyways, the story is about Raiden fighting against a group named Desperado who wants to start unnecessary wars because of benefits. They want to use children to make more cybernetic soldiers to cause these wars. In Raiden's eyes, this will not happen. But during a bodygaurd mission, he faced a Desperado elite solider that left Raiden completely injured and helpless and brings out his persona: Jack The Ripper. He is then placed in a new cybernetic body (As you see in the cover) and sets out to fight them.
Gameplay: The gameplay is very fast and challenging. The game is based one thing: CUT WHAT YOU WILL AND HOW YOU WILL. This means that you have the advantage to cut cyborgs and objects in anyway possible. The gameplay is similar to Devil May Cry in terms of hacking n' slashing. You fight to move on in the game and use different weapons to fight. The awesome part that they put in the game is the Zandatsu technique (or Stab and Grab technique) which basically gives you the full control of how you want to cut an enemy and take their energy to regain yours. The game is a bit challenging though because as you are injured you lose quite a bit of help. But you have items in the game that give a second chance at continuing before you get a full-on Game Over. So you may want to learn how to play the game pretty well before going further into the game.
Music: The great thing about this game is it has an awesome metal soundtrack that you can bang your head to while your playing.
Graphics: The graphics of this game makes this game look more like a movie. Like a Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children like movie.
Overall Opinion: I know it's been some gripe about the game but it is a great spin-off and is worth the try. The Limited Edition is awesome: it comes with a lamp that looks like electricity is coming from the sword on the inside and when you touch the lamp the electricity follows your finger, a collectable case, the soundtrack, and the game. Be warned, the soundtrack is not the one that has all of the songs from the game; that one is sold separately. I give this a 9; short game, but is very memorable and is really worth your time playing.

I did not really enjoy this game at all, I bought it because I am a huge Metal Gear fan. I knew going in that what I got would not be Metal Gear, but I did not think it would be this. The game has no challenge from any of the bosses except the very last on even the hardest difficulty. Really his only difficulty comes from the overly fidgety blade mode sequences that suddenly don't rely on time, but attempts in his boss fight. Nonetheless if that was my only gripe I would be satisfied, but the plot is as thin as tissue paper with no real continuity from previous Metal Gear games. There are a few times when the game suggests you should use 'stealth' except the game doesn't understand the concept and really, there is no reason, it is quicker and easier to just kill everyone. I beat this game without even realizing I could use healing items until the fourth boss, there is no challenge whatsoever, and despite listening to what I assume was every codec conversation none of the characters managed to endear themselves to me. Boring game.
I will admit that this is a little pricey for what your getting. Especially if you compare it to other limited editions, but I like that Konami tried something different. What impressed me the most is how well everything was packaged! Very secure and tidy. The steel case should be able to fit into anything that can hold a dvd. If you don't like messing with the plasma, it does have a switch to just glow.
