  • Summary: In Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers, Aya is out to find the meaning of her IMICHI ancestors, even if it leads to the answer she does not wish for. Players can master the sword to take full advantage of the Wii Remote motion controls by slashing, swinging and thrusting into zombie enemy hordes. Play as either sister Aya or Saki in single player or with a friend in Co-Op Mode and utilize each of their unique fighting styles and set of moves. Get too much blood on either sister and be driven into Rage Mode and gain more power and agility to destroy enemies faster and deadlier. Every person met and enemy battled gets the sisters closer to understanding who or what is behind the zombie outbreak and putting an end to it. [D3Publisher of America]… Expand

    Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers was a total surprise for me. Before even playing the game, my arm was sore just thinking about the notion of gesture-based combat. However, I came away amused and delighted.

    Conceptually speaking, Onechanbara entreats a dangerous dance of kitsch and low-brow entertainment. But poor design philosophy, a general disregard for story, and gameplay that will literally leave you sore land it in a special category of games barely worth the plastic they're burned on. Sexy just isn't enough, and contrary to its buxom beauties, Onechanbara is an ugly game from most angles.

    quality framerates, but honestly this is the best (not to mention most elaborate) use of motion controls I've personally seen thus far, particularly the mudman combo which is one of the most rewarding maneuvers I've ever experienced in any game. If only there is an entire game based around controls like that but I only hear of games using the A button instead as if it's somehow a good thing. Well until such a game exists there is Onechanbara.… Expand

    Now... the reason that this is a 10 is because of the price. It is SO cheap and you get a guilty pleasure that is actually fun. 4 different characters all with special abilities that you can upgrade makes this game playable for HOURS. Swords, throwing stars, SHOTGUNS, UZI'S, and powerups makes this game SIMPLY FUN! Since there are SO FEW games on the wii, if you need a break, this worked for me! Really, you wont be sorry. Such good fun.… Expand

    Onechanbara is a straight forward one motion wii mote game. With a poor story, simple gameplay mechanics and decent graphics, only those who really want to mindlessly use the same slashing moves to kill the same zombies over and over will want this. Game could have used a better story, more intricate controls, less being trapped in a box of zombies, and maybe some decent AI, you can walk around the AI zombies and they barley make attacks on you.… Expand
