If you are a fan of the first Onimusha you will no doubt like the sequel. However, instead of improving on the game it just seems like an extension to the first Onimusha. You have a few new weapons but you will find them quite hard to use unless you are fighting an extremely slow foe. The puzzles are much more difficult this time around and some toward the end will have you stuck for hours. Overall, I would recommend playing this game if you loved the first Onimusha.
Great Game!

If you liked the first Onimusha game,then you will most certainly like Onimusha 2. The controls and gameplay are identical to the first so veterans should have no problems navigating around. The only negative about the controls is you still can't use the analog stick to move around. The graphics are noiceably better than the first game. The story is brand new and the heroes have no ties to the original at all. I was hoping for a cameo from heroes from the first game but it didn't come to pass.There are some ties to the original game in documents found on your quest, and the castle from the first game is also revisited frequently. The story does go on a few weird tangents but it makes for an interesting second chapter. There are all new enemies which are much more challenging to defeat, new weapons and armor to master, and a trading system that allows you to trade items with allies in order to convince them to help you on your quest. This leads to a few different paths in the game so you will have to play the game more than once to see all the endings and to unlock all the secrets. All in all it was a great game. I gave it four stars because the graphics were better than the first and because it was a challenging game to play for a change. I didn't give Onimusha 2 five stars because it's still the same as Onimusha 1 gameplaywise. If you never heard of the game gefore get Onimusha 1 first and play it before getting Onimusha 2. If you don't like hack and slash or didn't like the first Onimusha then this game isn't for you.
