Lupin Sansei: Lupin ni wa Shi o, Zenigata ni wa Koi o

Lupin the Third, along with his partners Jigen and Goemon, has just arrived in the ancient city of Canghai after receiving a message from his on-again, off-again love interest Fujiko Mine. However, when they arrive at the meeting point, a mafia boss named Kouring appears and demands Lupin’s cooperation in exchange for Fujiko’s life. Lupin, however, has none of it and attempts to rescue Fujiko, only to be cursed by an ancient black art that will kill him in three days. Fujiko discovered old documents indicating that the Cang dynasty treasure she seeks may also hold the key to breaking Lupin’s curse. Will they be able to find the treasure and save Lupin’s life in three days? Lupin Sansei: Lupin ni wa Shi o, Zenigata ni wa Koi o is the third and final PS2 game based on the popular Lupin the Third anime franchise. There is less emphasis on stealth than in previous titles, but disguises can still be used to sneak past enemies and gather information from them. At various points, the player also controls Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko, each with their distinct game style. In some chapters, the player also controls Inspector Zenigata, a first for the series. At times, Lupin and Zenigata must work together to escape or defeat enemies. Unlike previous Lupin III games, the latest PS2 features an engaging 3D action adventure filled with quick one-button-press interaction challenges and longer gaming sequences lasting a few minutes each. Cut scenes between Lupin and his crew, and 3D exploration and discovery sessions connect the games. Lupin beats up a police officer and steals his uniform early in the game. He could then skulk around the grounds, partially disguised, looking for clues and hints. However, because Lupin’s face and demeanor are so distinct, the other cops can tell him apart from one of their own if they get close enough to examine him. Lupin will have to run and wag his Dual Shock to knock cops off his limber frame once the jig is up.
