To make the audio experience complete the game’s voice acting is flawless, as can be expected from a seiyuu cast of this quality. Full voice overs and Kanji galore for those who enjoy that.

Of the older songs, my very favourite is probably Hanbee’s updated theme song. Standout tracks include stage themes like Battle of Sekigahara: Eastern Sun and the new character themes for Sakon, Matabee, Shikanosuke and Maria. It’s difficult to pick a favourite piece. Yoshiteru’s regal presence has given the staff an excuse to incorporate a wealth of sweeping melodies to set the atmosphere from the very moment the player selects Sengoku Creation mode from the menu. When it comes to the background music the game contains the usual assortment of new themes and familiar classics. The rousing lyrics are a pleasant way to end a campaign. T.M.Revolution’s opening song Count ZERO was an instant classic from the moment I first heard it in the trailers, but SCANDAL’s upbeat closing song Runner’s high has also grown on me after hearing it play over the credit sequence. To complement the appealing visuals, the team at Capcom have done some great work with the soundtrack. The graphics are great for this type of game and presumably the move to a more advanced version of the MT Framework engine than before made it easier for YamamotoD and his team to implement their ideas. Sengoku Basara 4 Fun game with lots of unique characters. Whether you consider this a good decision will probably depend on whether you had a PS3 or not – it’s my preferred platform so I was one of the lucky ones. One of the biggest changes in Sengoku Basara 4 is that it dropped all support for the Wii, allowing the creators to push the PlayStation 3’s limits further. In that respect my opinions on some gameplay decisions might be unusual since two-player mode makes some parts of the game much easier, and others rather more challenging. One other thing that I should mention is that I mostly play in two-player co-op mode for the first few months of a Sengoku Basara game release my partner’s interest tends to wane more quickly than mine and it’s fun to experience the new stories together for the first time.
