First of all I must congradulate Capcom for making the best games of all time (Resident Evil, Onimusha, Devil May Cry, Street Fighter.) Onimusha 2 is a great game. It had great weapons and all of the swords were comletly awsome. What I loved about this game is the characters and gift exchange. Ekei was a funny alcohalic with a kind heart. Magawichi was awsome and completly skilled with the guns. Kotaro was a brat, but he is still a good friend, and Oyu is HOT. The gift exchange was a GREAT feature put in this game. Also Imasho Town was fun to walk around in and talk to the people. I think if Capcom makes a 4th Onimusha, they should DEFINETLY include some of these features, and make it a little simular to Omimusha 2. Anyway, every time I beat this game I nearly cry beacause of its greatness. Thank you Capcom for making a great sequal!

A Worthy Follow-Up To Onimusha

Fans of Onimusha Warlords and survival horror in general won't be disappointed. Onimusha 2 builds on the premises of the first game and adds enough new wrinkles to keep the gaming experience fresh. Samurai horror is alive and well in this installment.First, here the few negatives I found with the game (and they are few and minor). The opening CG movie, while well rendered, doesn't compete with the original Onimusha's lyrical majesty. The game music is solid but once again can't touch the sweeping score of part one. The rock song behind the "attract mode", Russian Roulette, is quite good but does not fit the mood of the game. And finally, no Japanese voice overs! Not a problem for most Americans but this very Japanese game is best served by being heard with its native language. Everything else about the game is great! Play control is much improved over Warlords, with easy to do "special combos" and easier Critical Hits. There are charge up attacks, special attacks, and nice magic attacks. Any style of player can get well into the game whether they are mad slashers or patient one strike swordsmen. Be warned, however, that the patient player who uses blocking, charged attacks and critical hits will be better rewarded than the slasher. You can play as many as 5 different characters during the game (Hero Jubei, Swordmistress Oyu, Gunner Magoichi, Ninja Kotaro, or Warrior Monk Ekei). There is a unique (sometimes annoying) gift giving system that allows Jubei to cultivate friendships with different characters, and each play through of the game and the storyline will change depending on who allies with you. Some playable characters die, some turn traitor, others are just cute n' cuddly-Oyu looks great taking a shower in a waterfall. Each character has different weapons, strengths, weaknesses, and magic attacks. The creatures encountered are a nice mixture of new and old, although I miss not seeing Ashigaru Zombies. Likewise the terrain covered is a mixture of new and old-the best parts of the game for me were reentering the hellish, partially destroyed Gifu castle (scene of most of part 1's action). Many historical Japanese figures are here again (Oda Nobunaga, Tokichiro (Toyotomi Hideyoshi), Fuma Kotaro (leader of the clan of ninja serving the Hojo daimyos-in real life it was Tokichiro who brought down the Hojos), and even Jubei. Gifu castle was actually Nobunaga's power base (until building his fortress (Azechi?) in Kyoto). Once the game is over and Nobunaga is dust (until part 3), there's lots of replay value. Many more cut scenes and plot developments can be discovered. Lots of secrets and modes to be unlocked-Kickass Mode (all the items you need to blow through the game), Critical Mode (enemies only killed through a critical hit), Hard Mode, Phantom Puzzle Realm (solve puzzle boxes and win artwork of Japanese maidens), costume changes for Oyu and Jubei, scenario paths (shows you where you were and where you're missing cutscenes), Onimusha 3 trailer, The Man In Black minigame (a race against time to pick up film strips, armed only with a sponge stick), and the Team Oni minigame (play as whatever characters you've unlocked to destroy 20 levels of enemies) are some of the extras waiting to be discovered. All fun and not too difficult (unlike the Oni Spirits game in part one).All in all, tight gameplay, loads of options, great graphics, exceptional relpay value, and a nice storyine make Onimusha 2 a hit!

Good game, but rent it instead!

Actually I beat the game shortly after the game was released, so this is a late review. Anyway, overall this game is fun and quite challenging. It has awesome weapons, awesome fighting style, awesome graphics and sound. However, the gameplay is very very short. it only took me a week to beat this game w/o spending hours on it every day. I was really disappointed when I realized I was about to fight Nobunaga that soon. Also, some parts of the story are somewhat laughable/ridiculous, especially the part shows how Jubei's dad and mom met. Trading items with other characters are also very tedious and boring that you'll have to do so very often. Finally, the major problem is lacking of bosses. You'll eventually fight the same bosses 2 to 3 times. I hope the Omnimusha 3 (the final chapter) will have a lot of improvement over this. Actually the story behind Omnimusha series remind me final fantasy X. That is, every time after Nobunaga is defeated, he will reborn after certain time. That's why the peace after defeating Nobunaga wouldn't last long, and this cycle will continue. I guess the final chapter will wrap this up. Since the game is so short, I suggest to rent it instead.

The second reign is great

A lot improved from the first one. If you've played the first one , no doubt the second one is better with the extended stages. Graphics and everything are still the best. Only the movement is still [bad] but that's not a big deal. Especially when there's a CAPCOM embroyed on the cover surely this game won't let you down ... and for me ... it's ... (^_^)

Onimusha 2 is very fun....The gameplay is very good and has a few add-ons unlike its predocessor,like the mode called Onimusha where one has to get 5 white orbs to become an onimush for way too short of a time.The garaphics are insane and I only saw one flaw in the graphics..The controls are very easy and don't take that long to get used to..The story is cool and is mostly the same as Onimusha...The new weapons I think are better and funner and stronger than the ones from the first Onimusha.The game is a little longer than the first and can take up to 14 hours if your an ameteour(no offense).I reccomend buying this game if you liked the first and if you like adventure or RPG games.

This Onimusha has a very good graphics but....

If you played Onimusha 1 this is a game that you must play, but one of the things that i dont like is the camera movement, sometimes you dont know whos attacking you...
Although the cinematics are very cool, and the graphics improvement was notable in some parts of the game you feel lost.

I recomend that bought this game used or rent it! Lets Wait Onimusha 3 to see what happens

Onimusha 2 is worth every dollars!!

If you're fan of the original, then you must buy the sequel. The sequel offers more techniques, new weapons, secrets to unlock, and hidden characters with their own story lines. This game will keep you wanting to play it over several times to unlock many of the secrets, therefore making your money well spent. Highly recomended!!

I own a PS2 and am an avid gamer. I own the prequel to this game Onimusha: Warlords, I loved it the graphics a superb, in the sequel Onimusha 2 Samurai's Destiny the game is 5 times better than the first one, the storyline took hold only minutes after starting playing it. You begin the game as Jubei Yagyu and are set of to avenge the death of the entire Yagyu Clan who was destroyed by Oda Nobunaga's Demon army. The Variety of the characters in this one is better and are more of them. All in all if you like Resident Evil or Devil May Cry, even Silent Hill style games, you'll like this one too.

Much better than the first one

This game really rocks. If you enjoyed the first one then you will like this one better. The game takes a lot longer to compete compared to the first one. You have to choose your allies and you get choose who will be your closest ally. Mosters are a lot harder than the first one as well as the bosses. The need to trade gifts was an excellent idea. Last but not least the mini games are a lot better than in the first one.

The only thing Capcom must improve to make Onimusha3 even better is to put the Japanese language back like on the first one; change the camera angle like like any FPS games and still being able to look around you, kind of like Zelda or Mario64 o that way you have a completely 3D enviroment. Capcom should get rid off the intro song when you are not playing the game because this is not Japan.

Anyways please do not hesitate and buy the game, it will keep you busy.
