THE GOOD:Just about all of it
THE BAD:
Can't think of anything specific.
SUMMARY:
I loved this game. I played Onimusha 1 when I first got my PS2. It was the first or second game I ever played on a console since I'd last played a game on my Sega Genesis. The cartridge unit.
Naturally, I was blown away. By the time the second Onimusha came out, I had played a zillion other PS2 games, and was less impressed with it than with 1.
Now, I have played about TWO zillion console games on the PS2, XBOX AND NGC, and I was VERY impressed with 3 and LOVED it.
I was pleased with the fully polygonal backgrounds versus the pre renderred ones from one and two. Controlling Sam with the analog stick versus the D pad was a MAJOR plus this time out.
The story was fantastically paced, with no filler, and was all substance.
Playing 3 characters was awesome.
And the game play was fabulous. I especially loved the inovation brought to the puzzle solving aspect of the game by the Ako character and the voluntary time switching. No doubt, other games will copy this element in some fashion in the future.
I loved this title. 10/10
