Onimusha: Warlords is a first-generation PS2 game, one of the best. It takes RE's forumla, sort of, but mixes it heavily in eastern-themes. The RE comparisons can stop right there because this game is pretty far from it. Aside from the pre-rendered backgrounds and control scheme, but we're talking about Capcom, afterall. It's more of an action/adventure game, you use mostly blades, and there's another character you play with at a few parts. What I really liked were the graphics... The opening FMV alone gets you psyched. Nice graphics with a kind of typical plot, though. There are a few suprises here and there, and I think Capcom did a good job. For it's price, it's a good buy. It's not a long game by any means, but it does have it's challenging parts that you'll either love or hate.
