First Look: Genma Onimusha
Genma Onimusha for the X-box will avoid the pitfalls of a "straight port," with additional features over those of the PlayStation 2 incarnation.
With Onimusha already a huge hit on the PlayStation 2, Capcom is enhancing the adventures of Samanosuke for the Xbox. Genma Onimusha will tell the tale of a lone samurai who is out to rescue a kidnapped princess from supernatural forces that have run amok in 1560 feudal Japan. Yet, Genma will avoid the pitfalls of a ?straight port,? with additional features over those of the PlayStation 2 incarnation. Although the game?s narrative will remain unchanged, Genma will be awash in new play elements, such as extra hidden costumes and new areas. In particular, a tall tower challenge, similar to the Dark Realms, will have you battling several consecutive waves of monsters in order to net rare and valuable treasures. Other new tweaks will include a Soul Rope-Pulling System, where you?ll ?compete? with monsters for freed souls, and a new Burst Attack, which will transform stored soul energy into a deadly one-shot attack. The honorable quest will begin in late January.
