way of the samurai is a great game. when i started i thought who the group of idiots are gonna kill me, but i killed them with the standard weapon, thinking well the other ones must be alot stronger.
You go through the game some of it's hard some of it's not. you just have to see the game and beat it.
Great

I was a little catious towards this game at first when I found out that Acquire had opted to create this game instead of another sequel to Tenchu. But after playing the game, there is no doubt, this game is awesome. A multi-faceted story that made unique and ever changing by your actions, words and timing. A great story about the fall of the Samurai empire brought out by vivid landscapes and a great event structure. Not to mention and involving fighting system that utilizes swords that carry with them a variety of fighting moves. Now there is some speculation as to the length of this game. If you are one to just run straight thru a game just to get to the end, then you may find this game very short indeed. But playing through to get the different endings, trying out various ways of behaviour and actions to see where the story takes you and to try and get the various swords in the game will bring the length of this game up greatly. The replay value is through the roof. This game is a majestic masterpiece and well worth checking out.
Kicking game!

This is a combination of almost 5 different games. It is sort of billed as a dramatic RPG for serious gamers. Not quite. It is more a lighthearted game for action fans/casual RPG gamers. It has a fight style similar to Dynasty Warriors. A do-what-you-feel-like storyline like Grand Theft Auto. Swords that give you different moves and power similar to an RPG. And it has a HUGE tone to it that reminds me of those books where you could choose the storyline at the end of each chapter. Great game, but not for everyone. The only drawback is that its somewhat short, but it has so many paths to the end (as well as different endings) that is stays fresh and fun. No one game plays out the same.
Great Game

This game has a very high fun factor, backed up by good graphics, and a nice soundtrack. Although the game is quite gory, it has many little features all woven together to make a truely great game, such as being able to kill whom ever you want, and all the customizable features for your character.
Cheesier than an order of Nachos, and twice as tasty

BAM! indeed. This is a a very highquality game. Parents, ignore the mature rating because it has no exual themes at all, and you can turn off the blood. This game has spectacular graphics the vividly depict your sourroundings. The music is nothing compared to games Final Fantasy and Devil May Cry because it is just little tinkles in the background, and sometimes hard to hear over the awesome sound effects of swooching and clanging swords, or the ripping of flesh. You can bust out a total of thirty nine swords and a magic wand.
The story line is entirely up to you, and the path you choose will lead you to one of five endings. The first ending and fifth endings are impossible to get if they're even real, or maybe are just really hard to find, but the three I did find were very well done. The two downsides of the story line is that it is very short and it's stream deep.
Proabably the nicest feature in this game that makes up for it being short is that for the number of people you kill gives you a rating which gives you a certain amount of points. The points unlock tutrials, characters, clothing, battle modes, and battle maps. The ratings range from ordinary and inexperienced to random slasher and heretic.
The two player battle mode is stellar, there's no other way to describe it, especially when you can be Chelsea(my favorite) or Suzu fighting on the moon.
Could be cool if wasn't so short

I was happy playing this game when all of a sudden I realized I had finished it. This was after 3 hours with some of that time spent in the training mode to learn to fight. Story was nice, just way too short.

This is a great game. The storylines are pretty realistic. There seem to be so many different outcomes that can happen. It is very fun to say different things to the people in the towns. The fighting is awesome. Be sure to buy this game.
