The Bouncer Hints (PS2)

The Bouncer is a video game developed by Dream Factory Co. Ltd and published by Square Co. It was released in 2000 on just one platform, the PlayStation 2 gaming console from Sony. This is a title which mixes action and role playing game elements and is played from a third person perspective. There are elements of martial arts games and from sci-fi titles.

The release is built around the experiences of the employees of a bar. Dominique, a young girl who also served as the mascot of the bar and the best friend of one of the bouncers, Sion, has been kidnapped by the Mikado Special Forces, one of the worst secret organizations in the game world. The three bouncers of the bar, Fate, Sion and Kou, are angry because of the kidnapping and will go up against the Mikado Special Forces to set the young girl free.

The game is billed as an "interactive action film" and the narrative is delivered to the player by way of a wide array of cut scenes. The three bouncers of the bar are always together as the story progresses and they fight in all the battles, so the player gets to choose whom he wants to control at the beginning of each encounter. As the game unfolds, the three advance in rank and get new moves and power ups which can help in the fight against the Mikado.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Defeating Dauragon

Using Sion: Use Sion's last attack, the Hurricane Blitz. Let Dauragon hit another party member. Use Hurricane Blitz. When he gets up, do it again. Keep repeating this until you defeat him.
Using Sion: Fight Dauragon, and knock him down in some way. Every time he gets up, repeatedly use Sion's Floating Mine attack until he is defeated.

Using Sion: Get Sion's Double-Knuckle attack. Back away from the party and block (R1). Get behind Dauragon. You should be able to get off three hits with the move, taking away a significant amount of health. It is possible to fight through all three Dauragon modes and defeat him overall with over half your health remaining.

Using Volt: Use Volt's Lift Up Slam attack. Let your party distract Dauragon, then use the Lift Up Slam attack. When he is getting up, use it again and again until he is defeated. Do not use against a wall or it will not work -- give him some space if he is against the wall.

Using Kou: Use Kou's Tiger Frenzy attack. Use this attack non-stop, so that Dauragon has no chance of attacking or covering.
