Is Last Blade for the Neo Pocket any good?

[Gambit]

I was wanting to know if Last Blade for the pocket was worth getting. Thanks

[NGPSkinhead]

I called it disapointing, but some people say it's a great game. It's personal and if you are a fan of Last Blade get it, if you're not don't get it.

I heard that alot of people were disappointed by the game as well, as opposed to smaller number of people who were happy w/ it. But who knows? I never played it so...

It's my favorite fighter on NGPC.

For a little background, I own:
MotM
KoF R-2
Last Blade

and I played a lot of SamSho2.

And I never played Last Blade or heard anything about it before I heard about the handheld version. And once I heard of it, I tried LB1 at the Arcade and it was pretty cool.

Basically, I knew nothing of LB before the NGPC version.

[Gambit]

How many fighters can you choose from on it???

[ZERO.X]

KoF R-1
KoF R-2
SamSho1
SamSho2
MotM
LBlade
FF:1st
Gals Fighters
Rockman (if you count it)

[Gambit]

I meant on Last Blade???

[ZERO.X]

9 basic
14 inc. secret characters
16 inc. alternate and random characters

2 modes of play (plus a secret one).

Thanks Zero, the game sounds like it has almost if not more fighters that Samurai Showdown 2 for the Pocket. Is it better than that game or worse??? Thanks

[ZERO.X]

It's the best fighter on the system, for what I have played.

KoF R-2
SamSho2
MotM
Last Blade

It's way better then MotM. It has more strategy. Takes more skill. Less duplicate characters. More secrets. More stories (that are real good).

The only thing it doesn't have over MotM:
Modes of play
Familiar Characters
Special Intros

BUY THIS GAME!!!!
www.ukgadgets.com (http://www.ukgadgets.com) www.ukhandhelds.com (http://www.ukhandhelds.com)

They are run by the same people, Special Reserve.

I have already ordered Cotton, Last Blade, and Faselei from them. They all came in the earliest amount of days said.

BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY!!!!

I tried it and I didnt like it that much. I would get MOTM, SS2, Gal fighters, then LB.

It is ok but I think you get board of it quickly.

[ZERO.X]

When I first started playing this game, I thought I had made a mistake in buying it. Same with Cotton. And it just so happens that I ordered both at the same time and it cost almost $100 total.

Both games you have to give a fair chance, then they show their greatness.

I have already played LB more then KoF R-2.

Most people think MotM is better then everything else, but do you remember the PS2-DC situation? It's not nearly as bad, cuz both are worth it, but since PS2 is more familiar and *seem* better, most think PS2 will kick major ass. (Almost the) Same deal.

MotM will definately last longer then Lb, but not cuz of the gameplay. Cuz of the variety.

Mode comparison:

LB:
Story
Survival
Time Attack
Homerun Derby (mini-game)
Markuro<sp?> (mini-game)

MotM:
Story
Survival
Time Attack
First Blast
Cat Walk (mini-game)
Ghost Trick (mini-game)
Blade Arts (mini-game)
Metal Slug<forgot name> (mini-game)

If you got MotM (most likely you do), definetly pick up LB. If you don't, pick up both games. They are both very different.

LB is the most different(grammar?) fighting game on the Pocket, and MotM is a modified KoF style (which was a lot like SamSho2, Fatal Fury, and Gal Fighters).

[Dreamh2o]

I heard it was the worst fighter on the system.

[ZERO.X]

IT'S THE BEST!!!!!

Takes major startegy.
Bunch of characters that you aren't familiar with, so you won't favor anyone (i.e. give everyone a fair shot).
The game will make you familiar will all the characters (and it just so happens at around the same time you give everyone a chance, and then some).
Cool and weird mini-games (but not as good as the MotM mini-games).
Fast gameplay.
Able to juggle (using specific moves).
Characters are extremely cool (Setsuna, Lee, Yuki, etc., they're all cool).
A VERY GOOD STORY!!!!!!

[Gambit]

Actually I finally played this game and I would say its one of my favorite fighters on the pocket.

[Dreamh2o]

Gayme informer must have been wrong then.
