Orgarhythm will mix strategy and rhythm gameplay.
Tak Hirai, programmer of the Shenmue and Space Channel 5 series, has revealed that his recently established company, Neilo, is working on a new rhythm game called Orgarhythm for the PlayStation Vita.
Repetition and missed opportunity make Sumioni extremely disappointing.
At face value, it may be easy to mistake Sumioni for a 2D iteration of the Okami series. It has similar sound effects, aesthetics, and settings, as well as the ability to draw on the screen like you do with the celestial brush; even their logos are similar. However, Sumioni doesn’t even come close to matching the merits of Capcom’s sprawling adventure. Instead, Sumioni is a repetitive hack-and-slash that fails to capitalize on its unique design.
It's certainly not the prettiest game on the Vita, but it does offer fleeting moments of fun.
From the moment I booted up Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen, something felt oddly familiar. No, it wasn't because I had played the last game in the series - that title never released in America – it was something else. Visages of Tenchu immediately sprung to mind, and rightfully so, as this was a ninja game from Acquire, the minds behind Tenchu. For those familiar with the Tenchu series, this is a good thing; however, repetition and poor controls ultimately get the better of this experience.
An introduction to Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen which will be a launch title for the PlayStation Vita on February 22, 2012.
