    The multi-tiered levels and layered fighting system helps create a game that, while harder to master, is certainly more rewarding to play.

    Many will tire of the repetitive game play involved in the single player modes long before unlocking all the secrets. And without friends to play with, there's a lot of content missing.

    A decent slash-'em-up but it'll disappoint Onimusha diehards thanks to a lack of the puzzles, plot and shopping for presents that made Onimusha 2 so brilliant. [JPN Import; PSM2]

    Repetitive combat only provides gamers with a taste of the original Onimusha flavor and the absence of any real story or unique features leave this samurai wandering the battlefield without much fight left in him.

    My Dad bought me this PS2 game Onimusha Buraiden from Japan. I just recently found out that it will be released internationally as Onimusha Blade Warriors. I would love to play it but the game manual is entirely written in Japanese. How can I understand it? I tried e-mailing some Capcom websites, but they are quite very snobbish on these matters. I will try to e-mail Capcom Japan if I only knew how. Can anybody here share how to play the game? If only someone could share a way on how to recognize those japanese game menu buttons.... … Expand
