This game was SOOO much fun! I don't know why it never became more popular! It's one of my favorites.

A game very much like Zelda, Musashi is a young boy who is summoned to another land to save the kidnapped princess. To do so, he must find parts of the legendary sword Lumina and break the spells cast over the five scrolls. Thus, Musashi embarks on a long journey. He strolls around town, shops at the local stores, climbs the nearby mountain, and, of course, has to defeat numerous meanies.

Besides the obvious role-playing/puzzle solving fun, there is plenty of battle to be done with the enemies, which becomes very exciting when you can actually absorb the powers of just about any creature in the game. There are also lots of little fun perks along the way, such as your dance contest with one the head of the Leader's Force (how else would Musashi fight a girl?)

I would highly recommend this game to anyone who is interested in role-playing/platform combination games, especcially if you are a Zelda or Final Fantasy fan. This game is exciting, unpredictable, funny, and it will keep you up all night!

Highly creative, fun game!

When I started the game, I thought it was dumb. It starts off as just a 3D action/platform game. But after the first 10 minutes, it develops into something much more: A highly open ended, involving, entertaining, funny game. The plot flows perfectly, but isn't linear. That is you always know what you should be doing, but you don't have to. There are plenty of other things to do than just follow the plot: Save the prisoners, find all the longivity berries, locate all the secret treasure, go on subquests. This RPG included many clever new features. The idea that somethings only happen at certain times, or on certain days is very clever, as is the fact that Musashi gets tired and needs sleep (although sleeping in the dungeons is a little strange). Most people commented about how they didn't like the voice overs, but I thought they were hysterical. They just took some getting used to. Each character had a strangely unique accient. It gave them personality. I really don't understand why this game was so unpopular. I thought it was a real winner. You should give it a shot.

Sword Swinging Fun

Brave Fencer is an amazing game. Some of the puzzles may be difficult but in time you will slove them all. The story line is amazing, it could be turned into quite a good childrens film. If you're worried about people being killed by swords, worry no longer. It's kid friendly violence, the villians don't look human and there is no blood at all. Most of the people have a quick yell and disapeare. I really feel this game will make a great present for any person (who likes video games). So all in all, I recomend it to everyone.

Different taste

Brave Fencer Musashi is yes, fun, a great deal kidsy? yes, and the voices in the game are a way to drive away the gameplayers. It's not very much like Zelda I thought either. However I liked alot of the way things worked such as the assimmilating ability that Musashi gains. You can rescue the members in the town that have been frozen and distributed throughout the world. By rescuing these town members you can get armor, items, and new things in shops for your deeds. The story is fun to watch and the battle system never gets old. This game's about a young samurai boy who gets transported to the world in the game (I forgot what it was called) and he must save a princess that's been captured by several different people throughout the game. Musashi can also gain levels by defeating enemies and gaining experience such as most RPGs have it. The puzzles aren't too difficult so it's a game you can play through and not have to worry about being stuck on a puzzle for too long. I'd reccomend this game to most RPG players who just wanna unwind from most games. It's a joke for the vetrans. ~Seth~

A engrossing story combined with a breath taking soundtrack make this a very good game. It's what you would expect from Squaresoft. It's graphics are sometimes choppy, but the large and egrossing area's make up for it. It's story is at times joking and then serious. The music is very emotionally conveying. Brave Fencer Musashi can be cosidered on of Squaresofts best games.

Best game, I loved it! Great graphics, sound, voice, bosses,you name it. If the rating went up to 10, I'll give it 10! Figuring out the puzzles and tricks were great, especially the ice temple. Two thumbs and to toes up!

Its a pretty good game

If your looking for a hard game this is the one for you. Since it looks like a childrens game you think its easy. Let me tell you something, this game is anything BUT easy. Great game but not the best. Nice action RPG but after a while the game just gets boring. The music is quite good not better then Final Fantasy but good. The gameplay is good also but the camera angle just isn't enough. You could find yourself constantly trying to get the right angle. You can't carry enough items and its kinda short. Nice animation and voice actors. Next is the in game clock. One this isn't always useful. Since sometimes you have to be at some place at the right time and other times you have to wait until a certain day to do something. Next is you could fall asleep right in the middle of even a boss fight! You have to buy lots of Mints to stay up and that could take some space. The good way to counter this is to fall asleep in the middle of the field all by yourself so that you can't be attacked, but anyway good game. The ending isn't all that great but the gameplay is very good.

Gameplay-9 Story-8 Music-7

Overall-8

Well for starters please don't buy this game thinking it will be like Final Fantasy. But this game is fun all the way around. You use your brain alot. Grapics are great and as you learn new techniques your attacks become stronger and a lot more exciting (explosions, crosses, etc.)It has alot of detail and is well thought out. Controls swords are t and s, jump is x.They are so simple a baby could use it. When you have to do a new move the game will tell you how step by step so do worry about not knowing how to use his sword correctly. Camera angles [are awful] sometimes and you can't change them unless you are in the village that is about the only thing that [is awful] in this game. and last but not least is the gameplay. This is where it gets exciting. You are on a journey and they always tell you what to do so you don't get confused.(I also suggest buying the strategy guide). You get to use your enemines abilities against them. You never know what ability you will get. This is a must buy for all RPG lovers

Great gameplay!

It may not be a Final Fantasy VIII, but it is very good. The graphics good and so is the soud, the music is the best I have heard in a game for a long time. Somehow, it managed to have great gameplay value, providing about 15 hours (alot for me.) and levels and places that keep you interested in the game, I definatly recommend this game to anybody looking for a different type of game. The only bad part about this game is that the voices are somewhat annoying, but it can be ignored. This game is a game that not many people have looked into, but it is one that is worth looking into.

BYE THIS GAME
