Summary
Black & White Bushido is a great example of a pick up and play title. Its easy to get into and the controls are simple meaning anyone can play within seconds, The only thing is the whole game is very short on content, The handful of maps are decent enough but at the end of the day it all just feels a short flash in the pan experience. Its a shame and thats not to say its not fun, It really is but you will only play it every now and then rather devote hours of play to it.
