Wow. What is there to say about this game without resulting in sweeping praise? This game has great graphics, a wonderful storyline, and great replay value too.

Take on the role of Samonosuke and his Ninja friend Kaede, who have set ot to retrieve Princess Yuki from the Demons who have overtaken the province.

Samonosuke has been given powers by the subverted Ogre Clan, in the form of a Gauntlet that grants him the use of magic orbs and the ability to steal the souls of fallen demons, using their power to enhance his own, thus using it against them.

Cool fragments of history are interspered into a wonderful storyline. The FMV sequences are great, and the graphics in the actual game are almost of the same level.

I was a bit weary at first; not being a big fan of the controls on the Resident Evil series, I thought the comparisons would be a major turn off. But the problems I have with the controls are minor compared to the plusses of this game.

Combining hack and slach with adventure with strategy, and minor elements of a RPG, this game is hard to compare to other games. It's an experience in and of itself.

This game had me going right up until the end, and I'm on my third replay. Onimusha is clearly one of the best games on the PS2, and with a sequel on it's way, it promises to be one of the best series to boot.

PS2's first survival horror game was put out by Capcom, maker of the Resident Evil series. So, not surpisingly, this game is very much like the Resident Evil games, but with some good and bad changes. The controls are better, particularly during battle. Instead of being limited to rotating back and forth while attacking, the characters can jump back quickly and dodge from side to side. Also, you can and must learn to block enemy attacks, which is not possible against the Resident Evil zombies. This makes the battles more fun and interesting. The problem is that the stonger enemies are very slow and fairly easy to beat once you've mastered the controls. There's also not a lot of required backtracking for items, which can get very annoying in the Resident Evil games. On the other hand, it makes this game a bit too straightforward and easy in some ways. The number of items needed is not very high, and puzzles are less frequent and very easy, with the exception of two that are little more than guessing games. Finally, don't expect the length of the typical Resident Evil game. This is a pretty short game. The story and dialogue don't have much to offer either. The game is great graphically and a lot of fun to play. Camera angles are much improved and the game flows very well. Good first effort, with hopes for an improved sequel (a trailer is available after the game is completed). A must have for any survival horror fan.

ONIMUSHA RULES!

This game is perfect! I saw the ads for it on TV and decided to buy it without renting first. I very rarely do that, but this time it was worth every penny of it and then some. The graphics are amazing in this game, the gameplay is great, and the story's pretty good too. It seems like the basic "Save the princess" game, but there are other characters and stuff, so it's really good. Playing the game is mad fun. I like this better than the Resident Evil games, because you don't have to worry about ammo. In RE, you have to duck around enemies without killing them to save ammo, but here you can kill anything that moves. You should, too, because you can collect their souls and use them to level up your items. That is a great addition to the game, and I find it very satisfying to save up enough souls to pump up the weapons to the max and then hack through more demons to get more souls. Although there's only 3 main weapons, they're varied enough to make them enough, and each has its own magic spell. The boss fights are each different and fun. On my memory card I have about 5 or 6 different save files, one before each boss, so I can fight each one whenever I want. My favorite boss is that Wasp-Lady, she takes awhile but it's fun. The CG movies in this game are simply astonishing. The intro movie (and it does seem more like a movie than an intro) is great, and the scatterings of CGs throughout the rest of the game are mad good too. I haven't finished the game yet, but I'm looking forward to the movie at the end, I know it's gonna be good. A little tip: at the main menu when you first turn it on, let it sit for a minute or so to see an ad for the game. It has CG clips and gameplay clips, and it's mad cool. I recommend this game to anyone and everyone. Rent it if you want, but you should just buy it, you won't regret it.

GREAT GAME

I bought the import version of this game, basically you will have to have a basic knowledge of Japanese to fully enjoy. That aside a great addition to survival horror genre.

Oh My GOD!! Its Brendan Fraser!

The other reviews pretty much cover everything about the game except the sometimes scary resemblence that Samonasuke has to Brendan Fraser. The Game is great but the horrible dubbing almost hurt it until I noticed that. Now its very humurous to watch the out of sync actors. I'm not trying to put the game down, I'm just sharing what I noticed so that others may enjoy the game more.

Befor I played this game I heard it got average reviews. Many people were telling me to buy Zone of the Enders. But I decided to purchase Onimusha. To my suprise, I found the game to be captivating, and the opening intro was astounding. My favorite part of the game is stabbing the demons in the back with the Shippuu. At first one might think this is a boring game but truth is once you beat the water prison puzzle it gets a whole lot better!

This game is just fun. Even though it can be beat in about 2 hours it is still fun. The story line keeps you into the game and coming back for more. The graphics are maybe the best of any PS2 game (with the exception of GT3). A friend of mine who is not even a gamer sat there and played for hours. Just trust me, if you have $.. and like this type of game you will not be unhappy.
