FIELDS

The battlegrounds where Bushido Blade 2 takes place are large interactive environments which can have a tremendous effect on how battles are fought. There are times when the terrain itself can be lethal as a little misstep can potentially drop a character to their doom. The key to success is to use the terrain to your advantage by choosing characters and weapons which compliment the terrain you are fighting in. In some cases, the terrain itself becomes a technique: you can throw sand into an opponent's eye or force an enemy over the edge of a cliff.

Bushido Blade 2 offers six different game modes. Choose either to battle on your own or have a friend join you.

Story Mode - One player, "Battle of the Two Schools" This is what Bushido Blade 2 is all about. You'll be allowed to select a main character from either the Narukagami or Shainto and then their weapon. Weapon selection has no effect on the outcome of the story but remember, every character has one that they perform well with; make sure you make the right selection. Battles progress in a linear fashion where you must fight though a number of ninja soldiers before confronting a sub-boss. After defeating a number of sub-bosses, the final confrontation with the main boss will take place.

Training Mode - One player, "Master Your Weapon" Still trying to get the hang of the game? No need to worry, this is where you'll have the chance to train yourself and see what you are capable of doing. Face an endless line of ninja soldiers as you learn the nuances of the battle system.

Vs. CPU Mode - One player, "Trust Your Skills" When there are no human opponents around to challenge, there is always the computer. Fight the enemy of your choice with the weapon of your choice. Also a good way of learning each characterís abilities.

Vs. Mode - Two players, "Select Battles" What fighting game would be complete without a versus mode? You and your opponent selects a character and weapon to battle with --- select a battle stage and you two are ready to fight!

Group Battle Mode - Two players, "There Can Be Only One" Whoís number one? To find out, select the number of entries on each team, the point system and time limit. Then, choose a school and organize the team. (When a player chooses a school, the opponentís school will be selected automatically). Select the order of the characters and the weapons they will use. The same weapon cannot be chosen twice.

Link Mode - Two players By using two PlayStation® game consoles, two TVs, two Bushido Blade 2 Discs and a Link cable (sold separately), you can enjoy the ultra-realistic Link Mode. Set in its own special stage, this unique feature of Bushido Blade 2 allows two players to get a sense what real sword fighting is like through face to face confrontation in first person mode.
