This game looks and plays exactly like an arcade title, except your score isn't up in the corner. Choose from a group of elite warriors, some of them based on real figures from Japanese history. There was a game a few years back called Ninja Assault, or something like that, and I had despaired of ever finding anything like that exciting game again. This title happily steps in to fill the mold. Learn the talents and blind spots of each warrior through the brutal fire of combat. The only major drawback for me was the fact that your range of moves actually seems to be limited. However, you can make up for this with speed and power. The AI is amazing, as your enemies have a ton of endurance and will not hesitate to sneak up behind you, lock hilts, push you back and do anything they have to do to tire you out. Don't let the simple setting fool you. It's actually a difficult game.
The graphics are fluid and gorgeous, too. I had great fun with the Missions mode. The best thing is that you can pick any one to start with--you don't have to go from # 1 all the way to the end; you can skip around at will. Thank you Genki!
All in all, this is a step above your usual samurai game. Have fun, and watch your step.
