A great game based on the Bushido Culture, all of your actions are part of a domino-effect, great game for fans.
Definitely harder than its predecessors, and without a guide for the endings, its kind of a big puzzle to solve, you will spend some time figuring things out for yourself, like which actions lead to where, the official critics make no justice for this tittle, the game could obviously be brought for the play station two, don't expect high end game graphics, but after all the game fans from this saga, of "The Way of Samurai" know that to expect, and this fulfills this goal, to fully embrace the Bushido Culture and the feudal years of Japan, in an amusing pack for the Play Station 3.
The good:
Like I said, the game delivers the bushido experience once more, and now this time with a larger pack of content and stories, making the game have an increased replaying value.
More bushido techniques, and giving you the option to make your attacks non-lethal, and even be some sort of monk just using hand to hand combat.
The Character customization is way better than the games before, giving you different options to create the character of your imagination.
The bad:
Game is more strict and harder, which is not totally wrong, but you will need to sit and adapt to its curve, even if you have played the games before.
Graphics could be better, the sound rack of the game could have been better, these two aspects would had brought more immersion to the players.
Lack of acting voices make the character to feel less real.
The quest system could have been better.
The Ugly:
This game is hard to find on stores, I was lucky to find one in all the game stop stores that I visited, the game it was never planned to be brought to US. Which can make you to over-pay the game's value if you go for a new copy. I got mine for 49.99 same as if I would had bought another prime blockbuster game.
Thanks for reading my review, I hope it gives you a clear idea whether to buy or dismiss this game from your list.
