Alright, the CSM Sengoku Driver is now out. So... major differences from the DX release:-
- The driver is done in a cleaner matte finish
- Like a billion voice clips activated by the upper left button
- The belt itself is of course longer, and there's an optional gray one to replicate the Kurokage Troopers
- The lower right button replicates Suika Arms' mode noises
- A bonus easter egg 'nutrition replenishment' mode, which does a single minor sound with the Lockseeds
The more significant upgrades are with the Lockseeds themselves:-
- More accurate to the props, having opaque parts rather than transparent with the same matte finish as the Driver
- A much much clearer speaker
- The activation noise now includes a zipper sound clip to replicate the Arms appearing in the show
- The Kiwami Lockseed is now much more comprehensive, including sounds for every movie and V-cinema weapon such as the Saver Arrow and Ringo Reflector
Overall... there’s some neat stuff here, and the difference on the Lockseeds is
very
notable where you might wanna get a Lockseed set or two for your favourite Riders; but I would genuinely just buy an original DX or 20th re-release with a belt extension. The thing is that since at least Wizard the DX belts have been made to be a LOT more accurate to the show that there's not much a CSM could really do; and unlike Decade, W or OOO where a big draw was a far more comprehensive set of gimmick items and sounds... the Lockseeds have always been electronic with the Driver doing little on its own, so that was never a worry for Gaim and they tended to release every new Lockseed anyway. There’s just very very little new on the Driver itself to justify spending so much on it unless you’re completely obsessed with Gaim.
There's actually a ton more stuff that hasn't been detailed in most reviews! By pressing a combination of buttons on the Driver, you can customize pretty much everything about the henshin. You can:
- Shorten the start of the henshin.
- Turn the henshin into an Arms change.
- Turn on the "Lock Off" sound after removing a Lockseed.
- Turn off the "Lock On" sound and standby music after inserting a Lockseed.
That last one solves my one major, major gripe with the Sengoku Driver. Combined with the fact that the Lockseeds remember that you're henshined if you don't close the lid (
HOLY CRAP!
), you can actually replace a Lockseed onto the Driver (after inserting into a weapon, etc...) WITHOUT HAVING TO HENSHIN AGAIN!!!
I absolutely cannot believe how crazy the attention to detail is on this thing. You can even CUSTOMIZE THE CUTTING SOUND!
