User Rating: 7 | Onimusha Blade Warriors PS2
Onimusha Blade Warriors, is a decent game. It has all the characters from past and present Onimusha games excluding Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams. The Story mode is pretty decent, there's also a Vs and a Vs Custom mode where you get to play as a customized version of any character. Fighting is very similar to the first two games so you'll still have your Issen hits (Critical Attacks) and all of that. But a new feature that was much needed in other Onimusha games is introduced and its called "jumping".

All of the levels that you fight on are reminiscent from places you've been in past games and the music is decent. Graphic wise it is not that bad, even though its not as smooth as Onimusha Warlords or Onimusha 2. Because capcom chose to go with the Smash Bros. type of fighting style they should have pushed development a little harder, its like they kind of gave up. The voice acting is horrible beware of Ekei!!, the cut scenes get repetitive and be ready for some frame rate issues.

Otherwise, give it a shot because its real fun to play with friends who are familiar with the Onimusha and Smash Bros. games.
