Saiyuki: Journey West
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saiyuki: Journey West is a tactical role-playing video game based loosely on the popular Chinese novel Journey to the West. The game's Japanese title is simply Saiyūki (西遊記), which is the Japanese name Journey to the West. It follows the basic outline of the plot of the novel, in which the main character, a Buddhist practitioner named Sanzo, travels from China to India on a religious mission and has a variety of adventures along the way. The game also features several other characters from the novel, including Goku, the monkey king. In contrast to other renditions of the story, the game allows Sanzo to be played as either a male or a female character at the player's choice.
Saiyuki: Journey West was produced by Koei and was released in Japan in 1999 and in the United States in 2001.
