ABOUT:  Hokuto No Ken: Raoh Gaiden ~ Ten no Haoh is a 2D fighting game with 3D graphics, exclusively for the Playstation portable. There will be 13 playable characters including a completely original character made specifically for this game. The game features Story Mode, VS computer, 2-player Versus, and Training Mode.

 

 

Gameplay features include an "Attack Cancel Facility" where a players punch or kick is canceled if the opponent punches or kicks at the same time... the only result if that happens is a circular illumination on screen. There's also a special move power gauge which will allow characters to perform a "Kyukyoku Ogi" (instant kill type move) when completely full and several stages have destructible elements, including a jail cell which can be completely demolished.

The box art is pretty sick, at least. I digress... Hokuto No Ken: Raoh Gaiden is a cool name, for a cool game. The character select screen is even cool (and gives me CVS2 vibes). For a PSP fighting game in 2008, this Fist of the North Star spin-off wasn't particularly remarkable or very interesting mechanically. As a fan of several other PSP fighting games (see links above), I was more than unimpressed with this game overall. As a fan service type game based on an iconic manga / anime series... perhaps this game some charm in certain areas, for certain fans. Otherwise, I think the Hokuto No Ken 2D fighting game on PS2 looks way cooler. 2D sprites baby. If only they could've ported that game to PSP instead of this.  ~TFG Webmaster | @Fighters_Gen      Click Here for more official artwork!
