Blood, gore, hack and slash; and puzzle mania. These are the words that I would use to describe the best samurai game on the "PS2" (Playstation 2). "Onimusha" was one of the 1st titles released when the PS2 arrived at the market. One reason for it being the best Samurai game on the PS2 was that it was the 1st ever PS2 game to have great graphics and beautiful cut scenes. In this game you’re a samurai warrior who kills Oni's. Oni's are demons, devils, ogre, and trolls. The title Onimusha literally means Oni Warrior. In the beginning of the game you find out that a princess is missing and you go looking for, but you encounter a large demon that knocks you unconscious. While unconscious a bunch of good Oni spirits wake you up and give you a gauntlet on your right hand to suck in the souls of the demons. A great thing about the game is that the timeline is not made up, but rather based on real times with real historical figures. Unlike many games at that time, Onimusha had great details in its blood and gore effects. With details in the blood and gore came the variety of ways to dispatch your enemy.
In Onimusha you have many weapons at your disposal. These weapons have magical properties to them or well majority of them. When you start the game you get a normal katana, but nearly in the beginning of the game you get your 1st magical weapon called Raizan. It’s a sword that has the power of lightning and thunder. There is also draw back to the magical weapons. When you get the weapons they are weak so you have to feed them demon souls to make them stronger; example of this is: when you first get Raizan, it is not the actual sword it is a de-evolved version of it. Other then the Raizan you have: Enryuu a fire broadsword, Shippuu a wind naginata (pole weapon with 2 blades on either side), Bishamon sword which is the ultimate sword, a Bow, and an Arquebus which is a hook gun. Even though the game had great graphics and game play for being one of the 1st games on the PS2, many people did criticize the game. 1 of the arguments was that it a short-game not worth the time. It is true that this game is a bit short but it is way worth anybodies time. You will never get tried for the hacking and the slashing all the way till the end of the game. Let us look at what we have so far to prove it is the best samurai game on the ps2; in the next paragraph.
Onimusha: Warlords has and extensive about of blood and violence, which many gamers love in there games. It includes many great weapons and special powers that come out of the weapons. It has endless monsters to kill. It also has best cut scenes in it's time. The timeline of the game is based accurately with real historic figures. Which majority of samurai games don’t have; so while you’re playing the game you’re also learning a bit. Which is why I consider Onimusha: Warlords the best samurai game on the PS2. It deserves a bloody, gory, hacking and slashing 10 out of 10.
