More Of The Same

There is a very familiar feel to The sequel to Onimusha Warlords. I found myself able to pick this right up and run with it. Just as if it were just another chapter in a book.
Graphically the igame is a step up from the first game, but not by much. The cinematics are just beautiful however.
The controls are easy to use and very responsive. You will have no problem figuring how things work, or even learning to master what needs to be done.
Some of the voice work could definitely be better. This isn't a huge issue to me since I have gotten used to a certain low quality in game acting.
While the gameplay is basically, hack, slash, repeat. It nevver seemed to get boring. Allthough, there were times when I found myself doing a lot of backtracking, because I did not know what to do.
I can recommend this game to fans and non fans alike. It is exciting, and fun. It does have it's flaws but they are not prominant enough to ruin the experience.
