Full review
I long awaited for this game, main reason is because I am a samurai maniac and love seeing the blood spraying out of your foes wound or neck. This game is the 4th from the genki Kengo series.
The game is based upon the famous Japanese samurai through out iets history, from Miyamoto Musahshi, to Okita Souji. The game is not simple and cam be hard to complete. with the lack of save points.
The game play is good and decent, controls aren't compicated though some moves for the characters can be hard to perform even though tis just button sequence, there are also the hard parts where you are required to deflect orparry an enemies attack, which means alot of perfect timing.
Character design in this game is very good, the quality is that worthy of a game for the Xbox 360.the sceneray in the game is beautiful, and shows a japanese feel to it with cherry blossoms snowing down when you walk past.
The game comes with two language audios english and Japnese so you don't have to listen to crap american dub. also a number of european language options that change the text.
there is a really beautiful intro cinematic, and some decent ingame cinematics.
the A.I can vary in toughness and strength and you will meet other japanese samurai on the way.
The A.i unforutuately all look the same, wiht minor changes and differences such as aht or a mask.
The game is beautiful and adds a bit of realism in it, as if your recieve a critcal hit, you will bleed non stop which will drain your health this is the same for your opponents, you can slo lock swords and run side to side, like teh samraui do in the movies.
Over all this game is good though it can be repetitve.
