Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman is an action-adventure game for the PlayStation. The game is notable for its mix of both eastern and western idiosyncrasy, most notably in the protagonist Zan, who has traits of both a ninja and a cowboy.
[edit] Gameplay
The game is divided into several three-dimensional levels, including the training level in which the player can learn all of Zan's abilities. Zan fights using a revolver named Johny No More Gun in his left hand and a katana named Demon Slayer in his right hand. The other playable (unlockable) character is a female ninja Sapphire, the daughter of Master Suzuki who has trained Zan in the ninja arts (she guides him through the training level).
The player can rescue hostages scattered around the level, perform several combos combining sword and gun attacks and make "all button events" in which all buttons in the controller must be pressed quickly to fill a bar in a limited time. These actions, when completed successfully, reward extra score to the player, score which is summed at the end of each level and evalulates the player's performance by giving him/her a ranking. This varies form the lowest "chicken" to the highest "Super Ultra Sexy Hero".
Zan also has a bar that raises several levels, which allows him to execute "Hustle Mode" in which Zan's sword grows to a much longer length, his attack power increases, and his speed shoots up considerably, allowing him to run and attack at extremely high speeds. If the player completes the game with a high ranking, several extra features can be unlocked.
