DEMONS ARE NO MATCH FOR ME

Onimusha is a blend between Resident Evil & Way of the Samurai. You are a samurai who has to kill legions of demons & creatures. The action is smooth & gritty. Cutting open a demon is somewhat satisfying. The graphics are dark & gloomy, but don't look ugly. The series was a big hit, & it all started with this bad boy. Capcom, you've made me proud!

The first.

The first, The greatest. Five starts across the board. No doubt a legend in our time, up in the ranks of games like Resident Evil, and Viewtifull Joe.

uh.....

in the very beginning of this game, i liked it. than a short time later, i didn't. i mean, the fighting is cool. the bosses are bad mofos. the soryline is decent and the graphics are very good. but that's it. this game just doesn't spark my interest. i most likely will never finish this game, or even play part 2 (Samauri Destiny) or 3 (Demon Siege). there may be a slight chance where i will pick up the all out fighting game, Blade Warriors. a slight chance.

resident evil, samurai style

from the second i picked up the controller, and started to play the game, the first thing that went throughmy mind was resident evil.your inventory is similar, and the way the controls are set up are uncannyly alike.altogether, the game was awesome, and it kept me on the edge of my seat.

Part I of a great trilogy.

Onimusha: Warlords is a first-generation PS2 game, one of the best. It takes RE's forumla, sort of, but mixes it heavily in eastern-themes. The RE comparisons can stop right there because this game is pretty far from it. Aside from the pre-rendered backgrounds and control scheme, but we're talking about Capcom, afterall. It's more of an action/adventure game, you use mostly blades, and there's another character you play with at a few parts. What I really liked were the graphics... The opening FMV alone gets you psyched. Nice graphics with a kind of typical plot, though. There are a few suprises here and there, and I think Capcom did a good job. For it's price, it's a good buy. It's not a long game by any means, but it does have it's challenging parts that you'll either love or hate.

Fun, but very tough!

Onimusia is a good game but hard and it can be boring. It's not a bad game Onimushia. This game could have done better.

One of the best Games I've ever Played

Onimusha is an awesome story about one by the name of Samanoske[sp?] a samuri and his quest to defeate the demons that are reaking terror and destruction through old fuedal Japan. The story is catchy, graphics are fairly nice,controls well put together, audio is to the key although english lip-sink is off in some areas big time. One thing that may bog down the rating or enjoyment of this game is "pre-rendered" backgrounds. I'm not a big fan of them, but they are barerable and what is lacks is made up in gameplay. If you are a fan of "Horror" or "Old style Japan stories with a New Gen feel" then this might be the game for you. Also the game contains alot of puzzels which are sure to wet your intelectual pallet just enough to keep the game moving. The wepons couldn't be any better, the visual affects from magic blast are some of the best I've seen.

Great Game

This is a great game,it's a great challenge and it also has nice graphics.The only thing that sucks about this game is that it's too short and it doesn't have that much replay value.Anybody looking for a game that's worth your money,this is it.
