The Bouncer combines heart-pounding action with Square’s trademark storytelling skills and role-playing game (RPG) elements. The story begins at a bar as a bouncer named Sion is beginning his shift for the day. A quiet morning is abruptly interrupted when a break-in occurs and the intruders manage to kidnap Sion’s friend Dominque. This begins a dangerous rescue mission, as Sion and his fellow bouncers travel far and wide in search of Dominique’s kidnappers. In addition to the game’s bilingual (English/Japanese) voiceover dialogue and fluid gameplay-to-full-motion-video transitions, The Bouncer offers a complete 3D environment that allows battle to take place anywhere and high resolution graphics that capture fine details like realistic facial expressions and real life tatoos on the characters. All features are made possible by the PlayStation 2 system’s enhanced processing power and new DVD format. The Bouncer features three different game modes including Story, Versus, Survival and allows for up to four simultaneous players in the multiplayer Versus mode.
