    It's a welcome change and breathes new life into the Onimusha franchise. [JPN Import]

    It's fun, lengthy, beautiful, and really, really satisfying.

    Will appeal to first timers, butthe changes made will alienate many of Onimusha's staunchest fans. A grower, but vintage 'Musha it ain't. [Apr 2006, p.97]

    How cam you give this game a 10??? This game was probably the worst out of the onmusha series. i really didnt understand that kid hangin for that rope who was in the ball. Thte capcom went to far with it i think they tryed to make it more of a family game... some of you guys might not get what i mean by that, what i mean by that is they had to many happy-go-lucky moments. Really though... they could have done a lot better.… Expand
