Gameplay

The game is divided in two narrative lines leading to four potential endings. The player controls either Lupin III or Inspector Zenigata; when controlling the former, the game offers a stealth gameplay, where the player must inspect surrounding areas looking for clues and escape from the police in order to progress with the story. While when controlling Zenigata, the gameplay becomes more action, with fighting and shooting sequences against hordes of enemies. Jigen, Goemon and Fujiko are also playable characters during several of the available mini-games throughout the story.
