But as the game drives on Rygar earns new skills, and by the time you're halfway through the game, he's taking on dozens of enemies at a time, spinning around, and flinging, shoving and beheading enemies left, right and centre in some impressive death dances that easily rival Dante's moves in Devil May Cry (the similarities with which don't end there). To start with he can use it as an actual shield, and get it to whip in front of him, swing it in both directions and flick enemies into the air or each other.
Rygar eventually finds something like 30 different ways to use his Diskarmor via a system of button combinations and stick movements. To aid Rygar in his quest to save the princess and rid the world of Cronus - the evil god behind his mess - our hero is given a fine Weapon of Choice: the Diskarmor, a spinning shield-like object on the end of a long chain. Titbits of plot after the beginning of the game are gleaned from fragments of slate inscribed with the story, available for perusal at your leisure once you've found them, but failing to unravel the hodgepodge of a plot won't ruin your enjoyment of this adventure one bit. We couldn't really decipher much more than that from the introductory CGI, or subsequent cut-scenes for that matter, but to be honest all we cared about and needed to know was that some beasties needed to be shown the door, and Rygar was the man for the job (one of those darned prophecies roped him into it). There is a startlingly extensive and rather complicated plot, which has something to do with Rome, Egypt, Greece, a number of characters pilfered from various myths and legends, the captured Princess Harmonia, and the evil Titans, once banished to the underworld, roaming the land and generally causing a bit of a fracas. Rygar is a gladiator armed with nothing but a yoyo and some dialogue well and truly saturated in cheese. Piss off guys! The Legendary Pilfering Coat got. I wasn't anticipating much, despite the game's esteemed dynasty.

Yes, I've seen all the shots, and even the little movie of Rygar swinging his yoyo about, breaking bits of rock, but honestly. Having never played Tecmo's original and apparently well-loved Rygar, it's safe to say I was going into this one blind.
