Lupin the 3rd in his own Video Game!

This game is kinda cool to play. Not only is it Lupin the 3rd but you can also play as him and his comrades: Jigen and Goemon at one point.

It's like watching another Lupin Anime only you're in control of it. You get to sneak around in different areas, and disguise yourself(you gotta make sure you salute or pose) and don't stand around for too long other wise people would get suspicious and see through your disguise.

You get to pick pocket people as long as you do it properly other wise you'll get caught and have to escape by hiding going into another room or put them to sleep(judging by what kind of people you're up against)

The story involves Lupin planning to steal these 2 pitchers that has a key to opening a treasure of a Sorcessor King. With a girl named Maria and a suspicious looking man named Theodore who know some secrets to the 2 pitchers. There's clues and items to help you on the mystery.

Please know this game is a little challenging and I'd advice you to look up help on the Internet to know the passwords and hints of the game.

Here's some helpful advice, when you get into trouble, run away, put the guards to sleep, or hit them with a frying pan. But NEVER use your gun, that'll equal to a game over if you kill an innocent person instead of a bad guy.

I recommend this game to all the Lupin Fans, but just know that this game might be a little hard at first, but you'll get use to how you're suppose to play it. Not recommended to those who don't know the series, other wise they'd wouldn't really enjoy the whole game much.
