Based on a popular Manga in Japan, Ushio To Tora (aka Ushio and Tora) centers around the travels of Ushio Aotsuki, who is constantly being stalked and yet aided by a gigantic, supernatural, and sometimes invisible tiger-like demon named Tora. The game itself take these elements lightly and briefly through every stage. There is no platforming or RPG elements to this game. It touches on some of story and then a boss fight or it will throw a few sub bosses then a boss fight. The encounters are one of the most frustrating I've played, to say the least. Both Ushio and Tora are selectable as playable characters and have their own individual attacks. Ushio is armed with the Beast spear and which has an extremely long range. While I wish I could say using one character or another helps, it doesn't. The game has poor hit detection and I found it difficult to perform any of the more damaging attacks on any of the enemies. And last the best part about this Super Famicom game is the attention to detail in the character's design and all of the levels, Sound effects, and music. At one point I enjoyed playing in the 8 layers of rain with a high detail background. The system never bogged down unlike other games commonly found on the system. Also I've never played a game with such great / unique sound effects and score. I think I challenged myself to progress more and more into the game just to see the next creature design, hear the sound effects, and the music. It's not great but diffidently not the worst. If you are a fan of the Manga, it will find a special place in your heart.Read full review
