Product Description
-------------------
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny expands on the original title with
larger environments to explore, new character interactions,
enhanced play, and over twice the volume of animated movies.
The game tells an epic story that blends magical realism with
accurate historical accounts of 16th century feudal Japan. It
begins 10 years following the events in Onimusha: Warlords, after
Nobunaga, an infamous Japanese warlord, has brutalized a village.
Players take the role of the hero, a young warrior and master of
the Yagyu Shinkage fighting style, who seeks revenge
against Nobunaga and to uncover his destiny.
.co.uk Review
-------------
The original Onimusha was usually described as Resident Evil
with ninjas, but this superior sequel is its own man, and a very
manly man with a big at that. Onimusha 2 still has the same
awkward Resident Evil-style controls--which ridiculously makes it
easier to take on four zombie ninjas in a fight than walk
through a door straight--and the same static Resi-style
backdrops, but does include some new role-playing elements, which
immediately add more depth and interest than the original.
Taking on the role of a new good guy, Jubei (notable for being
perhaps gaming's ugliest star--he makes Mario look like Brad
Pitt), you find yourself constantly crossing paths with four
other warriors who will or won't help you depending on whether
you give them loads of presents or not. A typically wacky
Japanese idea, but although the actually process of gift giving
can be a bit tiresome the enormous replay value that having such
a wide range of potential helpers at various stages brings is
excellent. The increased quantity of upgradeable magic and armour
available also adds more depth to the game and while at times it
can still descend into mindless violence and endless boss battles
this is a pleasing move away from Resident Evil and bodes well
for a future second sequel. --David Jenkins
