A hack-and-slash action game featuring Jay Chou with fluid acrobatic combat in a wuxia setting. Animations are impressive and action is dynamic. The narrative is light and play time short, but the combat experience remains entertaining.

Collector interest

The Korean edition of Bujingai, Taito's wuxia hack and slash whose hero lends his looks to Asian megastar Jay Chou. The singer's fame carried mostly across East Asia, which made a Korean release apt yet confined to a circle of insiders and fans. Desirability rests on this crossing of a regional music celebrity with an action game and on the inherent scarcity of the Korean pressing.
