The downsides: he's slower to move and attack, plus his window to pull off perfect parries is shorter. The comparison to Raiden, obvious as it is to make, obscures things a little because Sam's moveset and new abilities demand a total change in style.
So what does our smiling assassin have going for him? Well, good looks for a start, along with a sweet HF Muramasa blade. Sam's take? 'Nothing like a sword fight under the cherry blossoms!' Sam's story is a neat parallel to Raiden's own journey in Revengeance, and along the way has a funny cut-scene with two bosses discussing whether they like cherry blossom. Anyone who buys this will have finished the main game and so be in possession of a powered-up cyborg ninja with multiple weapons and a moveset that enables constant aggression to play as Raiden is to always be on the attack, dashing from foe to foe in a flurry of deadly blows and perfect parries. The focus of Jetstream Sam is in giving Revengeance players a new toy, a playable character who bears little relation to Raiden. You can, if you're really trying, run through this in significantly less than an hour, but to talk about it in these terms would miss the point completely. It's one long chapter that takes Sam from sewers to the top of a skyscraper, with three boss battles and five VR missions interspersed, and as in the main campaign each difficulty setting changes up the enemy numbers, placements and types along the way. Jetstream Sam is a prequel explaining how and why he ended up working for the bad guys. The boss battle against him is classic, a desert duel for the ages. Sam Rodrigues is Revengeance's most fabulous enemy, a cocky Brazilian with a fighting style halfway between jiu-jitsu and samurai - backed up by a smile that could slice a tank in half. There is a big addition, of course: Sam himself. A few new cut-scenes seems like one hell of a way to use a 2.5GB download. Every environment and enemy features in the main game and the songs are familiar. But for the first hour or two of Jetstream Sam, Platinum's campaign prequel for the superlative Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, that new content feels hard to find. You expect downloadable content to add to the main game.
