Onimusha Warlords for PlayStation 2

Pros: good plot, fun gameplay, great graphics/sound
Cons: repetitive and short

Onimusha is one of the few hack-and-slash action games on the ps2 (believe me I’ve been looking) and thank goodness it’s a good one. This game is almost perfection, featuring a well-fleshed out story, rpg-like character development and some great...

Pros: awesome
Cons: a little too awesome

Let's face it, Survival Horror games arent' exactly the most exciting thing in the game industry lately, and it's all a result of the slow evolution of the sub-genre. Since Resident Evil stormed the playground in 1996 and Alone In The Dark, Sweet Home...

Pros: Great graphics, cool game play, really unique game.
Cons: The voice acting and dubbing, and a little too short.

What's wrong with being able to take out a lighting enchanted samurai sword, and cutting up some helpless demons from hell. Heck, why don't you just smash some demon skull with a few arrows to the face, or even take out your gun and knock a few foes from ...

Pros: Unoriginal plot, shallow story line, repetitive battles, SHORT GAME!
Cons: Excellent graphics, potential to be a GREAT game.

I have always been a huge fan of the "survival horror" video game genre's: Silent Hill, Dino Crisis, and of course, the Resident Evil (RE) series. Mind-numbing puzzles, challenging battles, and numerous areas to explore (which usually scare the hell out...

Pros: Stunning graphics, great gameplay, fun combats
Cons: Linear at times, way too short

After just getting a Playstation 2, I have to say I wasn’t impressed with the first game I played on it (The Bouncer). But a friend of mine recommended Onimusha Warlords. He is a good friend, really, so I took his word for it. I’m glad I...

Pros: Beautiful Graphics and Full Motion Videos
Cons: The Length, Plot, Characters, Music, Sound, Villians

A few weeks ago my brother in law lent me a game called "Onimusha: Warlords". It looked really awesome and I was intent on playing it. I was real in to Japanese and Chinese fighting games like Kessen or to a lesser extent, Dynasty Warriors 2. Both great...

Pros: it's at a cheap price now, good graphics for the day
Cons: it's short, bad ending, bad camera angels and controls.

I got Onimusha warlords last week when I found it at game stop on sale for 4 bucks. I had heard about the series several years ago on G4 TV (you know when G4 actually had something on video games) so I decided why not give it a try. Story. Onimusha ...

Pros: Pretty graphics, nice audio
Cons: Shallow gameplay, short, repetitive, bizarre camera angles

Onimusha was Capcom's first blockbuster hit for the PS2. The game took the survival horror genre to a new location: feudal Japan. If you thought blowing away zombies with guns was cool, wait until you hack 'em up with a katana (samurai sword)....

Pros: Gameplay, music
Cons: Storyline, shortness of game

Onimusha means “demon killer” in Japanese or something like it. Trust me: this is a perfect name for this game. It’s all about killing demons and zombies and what not. It doesn’t have a really strong storyline though. And it’s sort of short. Oh, just...

Pros: Fluent gameplay and pretty graphics.
Cons: The game is too short, and is also a little confusing.

Fast and furious, full of rage, torment, and confidence: One man alone will travel right into the heart of darkness for the life of another. This man, Samanosuke: the hero will prevail. Onimusha: Warlords is the game of today, and should be one of ...

Pros: Graphics, sound, gameplay
Cons: Game saving, can't skip cutscenes

Capcom's Onimusha Warlords is a Samurai game based on the Resident Evil game engine. Rather than using a free-floating camera like you would find in some 3d games, this uses fixed camera angles that change depending on where you are in a room. Any...

Pros: Nice graphics, solid control scheme, action-oriented combat system with a good deal of depth
Cons: No camera movement, REALLY tough bosses, no innovation

Capcom has proven since the early days of PlayStation that it is the king of the survival horror sub-genre, a genre that relies heavily on cinematic presentations and action-packed gameplay to scare the living crap out of the player. The Resident Evil...

Pros: Great graphics; Lots of action; Decent fighting engine; Slightly improved control
Cons: Control still feels unnatural; Gets boring/repetitive fast; Voice acting; Same tired RE game play

After Resident Evil hit the Playstation, survival-horror was never the same again. Creepy atmosphere, haunting music, and one hell of a storyline made for an experience akin to that of seeing a horror movie. Capcom, the company that loves to remake,...

Pros: Gameplay is superb.
Cons: Bit of a copy; short gamespan.

I will say two words which will create an image in your mind, a perception that will influence you in your decision of whether or not to buy Onimusha. Like or loath the idea, this will work. Ready-
Resident Evil

What...

Pros: graphics, fun factor, extras
Cons: bad lip-syncing, kind of short

I just bought a PS2. I've heard that the first generation of PS2 games haven't quite lived up to gamers' expectations so I researched what games have received REALLY GREAT reviews. There have only been about a half dozen titles or so to get better than...
