Last weekend I started a Let's Play as well as a Walkthrough w/o commentary of the cult classic Rent-A-Hero on YouTube. Reason I did that was because the game is a total mystery for many, including me, as far as I'm concerned. I've been searching YouTube high and low for any complete walkthroughs or Let's Plays of this game without luck. Seems like everybody who have tried in the past have given up after mission 1. I found a guide on Gamefaqs, posted in 2003, by J. T Kauffman and Ben Judd. Thanks to this I've been able to get past the barrier of mission 1 and am now on a steady way to actually complete the game on camera. I was pretty curious about this game myself before finally deciding to give this a shot, and searched like crazy for a translation patch without luck. Of course, if you can get your hands on the unreleased Xbox version, which is in English, then more power to you. For those of you who don't I can offer you a Let's Play where I try my best to translate menus and explain what's going on.

Here are two parts of each playthrough method I'm using. Gonna showcase part 2 of my Let's Play due to that one being the most informative and where I go from mainstream footage of Rent-A-Hero to rare. The plot in the game doesn't start-ish before mission 5 is completed so I urge you to give it a shot past that at least.
