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.
