This game is much like Onimusha, fun, and hard at times. So let's start off with the negative parts: Oyu is basicly a rip off of Keade(The readers know who I'm talking about.) Juebi's attacks are much like that of Samanoskue's(Again, the readers know who I'm talking about.), not to mention that Jubei basicly gets the same 3 swords that Sam' has. Also, when fighting the final boss, why would they make you use a cannon after all the sword skills you've devolped? I understand why they would allow you to acsess(spelling?) Gifu castle, but you have to average to get a special item to go further in the game, who would want that in this game? I mean, you would want to play, not think. I also noticed that the exact same door you used to get to the Dark Realm/Demon Realm door is yet again, covered by another lock, tad bit anoying I must say, but they put something behind the giant doors, and it's not the Demon/Dark Realm, 'tis a new room, where you fight Gogandantess. Positive points: The multiple branches in the story-line, say you are a good friend with Kotaro, he will help you most of the time, and you will get a diffrent ending for when Jubei defeats Gingamphatts for the last time. And although Hard mode is very tough, you get a great reward for beating it.(Ultimate Mode.) This game has great graphics also. Critical mode(for experts only), which I am yet to beat, only allows you hurt enemies with a Issen(Critical) attack, I belive it also unlocks something special. There are a number of special necklaces in this game, like the balck necklace, it alows you to do an Issen (critical) attack each time you swipe your sword. This is an overall great game, has a descent story-line, fun mini- quests, and different reactions from sub-characters. Controls: This game's controls are quite good, easy to remember, and easy to do a combo. Overall: 8/10.
