Nothing revolutionary but still fun...

User Rating: 8.4 | Shin Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams PS2
this fourth Onimusha adventure treads familiar ground but adds depth and scope to the series.

Graphics-10- for a game with fully rendered rotatable environments the graphics are top notch for ps2.

Sound-9-excellent music, good voicework, good combat sounds, cool monster growls.

Game play-8- puzzle elements are entertaining, combat is deep and responsive, environments are essentially large interconnected corridors, backtracking and fighting the same bosses many times is disappointing.

Value-8- This game is long for an Onimusha title but there's not much motivation to replay it due to sections of backtracking and repeat boss battles.

Tilt-8- controlling 2 characters at once is fun,excellent weapon variety, story is pretty lame, Onimusha4 Dawn of Dreams is the next logical step in the evolution of a solid action/adventure/rpg which has always had excellent production values.
