Genji: Dawn of the Samurai is a game that when first looked at seems all to familiar. With games like Onimusha out on shelves Samurai games have much to live up to. Genji however delivers in a way that Onimusha does not. Genji has a typical story ....There is a race of people who are gaining power and you are special and have special stones that give you special powers....we heard the story. The story is not bad however but the true fun lies within the gameplay. Genji has a certain sort of depth that Onimusha seemed to have lacked. The ability to level up your character and purchase new weapons and armor with money gives the game a role playing feel and the characters seem more your own. The hack n slash gameplay couldn't be more satisfying. Genji runs at a whole different pace than Onimusha and offers something Onimusha never did....Jumping. Deathblows can be delivered at astonishing rates and with a matrix sort of slow mo twist the games battles can be fun and intense, something that seems to be lacking in some games nowadays. -Bert
