Nope, not gonna reuse the Henshin tag line.
A few years ago, when I first got the PSP, I played
All Kamen Rider: Rider Generations 2 and it was swell. Well, here I am, playing the same game but on the DS, so I'll make it short and sweet.
This game is a very simple, but very fun beat'em up game. You move from left-to-right laying waste to every enemy that comes in your path. You've got weak combo strings, strong attacks, special moves, super moves and Rider moves, although,
to be fair, most characters are pretty samey. Regardless, it's a fun time. Everything I said about the PSP version still holds water for this one
Differences between versions: For starters, the HUD is different., since the PSP had a wider, bigger screen, you get a
less cluttered screen, and the graphics in this one are a bit choppy, the sprites get very pixelated, and there's a
lot of slowdown. It doesn't get in the way of game, but most of the time you'll feel like you are playing
under water. Healing items are now used via the touchscreen. But it does have
one upside, however, it has virtually no loading times. Neither version of the game is better, but for my money... I think I'd stick with the PSP version, I can handle loading times, and once you look at the
crispest version of the game there's no going back. That said, the DS version isn't a poor alternative, it still plays great, but it doesn't play or look as smoothly as the other version.
What can I say, I had
fun coming back to this game. It's still a very charming and entertaining Kamen Rider game, and the huge 57 character roster is a big, big selling point. Although I won't lie, I stuck to my boy Kiva for most of the game
again. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon!
