7 Blades Previews

Konami's PlayStation 2 sword fighting action game appears to be heavy on FMV, light on gameplay.

7 Blades is Konami's samurai beat-em-up game that's based on a true story and features arcade-like swordplay and plenty of fighting elements. We got the chance to play around with an early build of the game.

Loosely based on a true story, Konami's 7 Blades puts you in control of a skilled samurai detective out to quell a religious uprising. You'll come face-to-face with hordes of enemy warriors, skilled martial artists, and a heap of political backstabbers.
