Onimusha is one of my favorite series games of all time. The Onimusha series is a complete masterpeice. Anyway, I thought this game was GREAT. When I got this game on the first day (which I always do when any Onimusha game comes out) I thought this was UNBELIEVEBLY good. The bosses were completly kick-ass, and the ending, (WOW WHAT AN ENDING)was one of the best, by far that I ever seen. The characters, Samanokue Aketchi, and Jene Reno are so awsome. I WANT ONIMUSHA 4 TO COME OUT SOON! I will get it the first minute it comes out!

Hahaha Ninja Gaiden

This game is a stupid, mindless beat-em-up. Ninja Gaiden (only on Xbox, no surprise there) is so much better. It is faster, smoother, has better graphics and sound, better story, better gameplay, better everything. You can run on walls and even run on water in Ninja Gaiden. And what can you do on this? Swing your sword around like an idiot, hoping to kill as many demons as possible.

BOOOOOOOOO!!

Tis all crud and lies.This makes me sick to my stomach.How come Oda is EVIL!!! He was not evil!!! And whats with this Akechi character. Thats not his real name!!! It was Mitsuhide Akechi, who was an underling of Oda until he wished to kill Oda because he thought Oda was handling things wrong. In the end he got killed for it!!! This game is terrible and is so incorrect!!!If Akechis name was right and Oda wasnt evil then this game would get 2 or maybe even 3 stars but since its not i want to BURRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!IT IS THE WORST GAME EVER!!!!!

Is it me, or does the guy on the front of the case for Onimushu 3 look a lot like Jean Reno, the actor from "The professonal" and "Mission Impossible". I've checked everywhere but apparently he is not associated with the game. It does look like him though....right?

AWESOME game to play on the SONY PLAYSTATION 2

This game wasn't as fascinating as other Onimusha games. Onimsusha:Warlords had it good times 'cause it was the first time we see Samonosuke in battle agains evil.
In Onimusha:Samurai's Destiny, a new young Samurai Jubei Yagyu rise to stop the evil Nobunaga.

In this final "chapter", players will be disappointed that only one of the classic samurai (Samonosuke) is in played, but Yubei isn't. Instead is replaced with some simple character.

I would suggest to rent this game first and find your own opinion about the game. If you're a Onimusha fan and just want to have for your private collection. I would think twice before purchasing it.

Better than its predecessors

As a sequel, "Onimusha 3: Demon Siege" works very, very well, being far more detailed and stroy-driven than either of its two somewhat shallow predecessors. As a standalone game, too, it mops the floor with those two previous games, in terms of playability and graphics.

Resuming the lead role of Oni, Samanosuke (from the first game) now finds himself unwillingly hopping across time (from 16th Century Japan to 21st Century Paris) in order to thwart yet another of Nobunaga's genbu-driven attempts to rule the world of Humans. He is aided in his quest by Jacques Blanc (a Special Forces Gendarme-type), Michelle (his fiancee) and a desperately annoying (if crucially necessary) Oni fairy named Ako.

The graphics are now all real-time, and camera pans and sweeps are far more dramatic and flexible than before, giving a much-needed sense of the Organic to the already-beautiful characters. For this game, too, the character graphics are now far more detailed and complex than before, and the insanely busy colour palette of previous games is now wisely toned down to allow that detail to show through. Visually it's definitely the best of the series, and "Onimusha 3" must be one of the best-looking adventure games on the PS 2 to date. The Paris sections are particularly impressive, blending contemporary cityscapes with Oni mythology with flair and ease.

Gameplay-wise not much has changed, the controls are immediately familiar to anyone with even the briefest of playtimes on either of its two predecessors, and the various tightenings and improvements really do come into their own later in the game. The difficulty level is somewhat easier, thanks to the inclusion of far more consumable health items than before, and a more simplified version of the combat system.

The real improvements come in the shape of a far more complex storyline. Now cut-scenes and (astounding) CGI movies interrupt the action with a story-driven regularity reminiscent of "Metal Gear Solid 2", and "Onimusha 3" is much improved because of it. Now there is a compelling and tense plot to forward the hitherto-repetitive action sequences (after all, this is just a side-scrolling beat-'em-up done in 3D realtime) and the player has a far better sense of purpose and affinity for the characters because of this.

My only complaint is that, in the wake of two beautiful-to-look-at, repetitive-to-play Prequels, the depth and innovation of "Onimusha 3" may go unnoticed. But I promise you, it's there, waiting to be uncovered.

All in all, another technically excellent offering from Capcom, and a worthy crown to the "Onimusha" series. Bigger, deeper and prettier than before, it will certainly satisfy the adventure cravings amongst us, and will almost definitely win new fans to the genre.

Highly recommended.

No jump button, No kick button

Before I purchased this, I thought that it was going to be one of the best action games ever. After playing, I was disappointed. It's a very "AVERAGE" game, that doesn't have anything special to make it stand out from other games.

I found it very weird that there is no jump function. The only way to kill air-born enemies is to shoot them with a bow n arrow. This can be tedious since you have to stop and stand still, then use the lock on target button.

And since there is no jump, you can NOT jump in the air and perform hard landing attacks.

There is also no kick button. Kicks would have added a little more variety to the attacks.

You should buy God of War instead. It's a LOT more fun and exciting than onimusha 3.
