We'll be covering more games soon and maybe even some retroactive reviews as well. So with that said, welcome to these reviews and let's take a look at SquareSoft's recently released The Bouncer. Think of it as something like Streets of Rage, or better yet, Double Dragon, in which you have a third person view of the characters fighting. In this game, you can play one of three different bouncers. There's the tough but slow guy, Volt, the average pretty boy, Kou, and the weak but fast punk, Sion.
Controls are relatively simple.
Yes, fancy pressure sensitivity, it's a brave new world. However, this game has character development. This comes in the way of increasing your health, power, defense, or buying a new move. This gives you incentive to play through, to build up your character into a badass, fighting machine. There's a decent story that goes along with the game.
