Shameless Onimusha Ripoff

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!! This game is a shameless, pointless, ineffectual ripoff of the Onimusha series! I bought this game after reading the rave customer reviews, only to be gravely disappionted. I'll give it full points for beautiful graphics, but the combat is only barely better than button-mashing, you only get ONE magic ability -which is almost impossible to use unless you have the reflexes of an ACTUAL NINJA- and the boss-battles in the later stages of the game go beyond challenging to just frustratingly hard! If this genre appeals to you, play the Onimusha games -they're FAR BETTER. If you've already played the whole Onimusha series, either RENT this game out of mindless boredom or spend your money on something less boring. I just don't understand why everyone raves about this game... it's a shameless ripoff of the Onimusha series, but it's not even remotely as much fun!!

so sorry i missed it earlier

i recently bougth genji right here off of amazon. i was mostly just looking for a cheap game to pass a few hours. i had remembered seeing genji months before at gamestop or eb games as a new release but it didnt catch my eye at the time. before i got genji i read a few reviews, and checked up on the ratings it got, on average it got a soso score. however w/ players it seemed to be highly rated so i chanced it. and wow.... the storyline presentation was like a fresh kick to the eyeballs, the gameplay graphics r a bit better than ps2 average. the controlls were seamless and slick i felt like i had utter control over any situation. kamui was perfect. if i didnt feel like hacking thru 7 guys i could just get things moving thru kamui, it slows down time slightly and issues a challenge to all enemies ur fighting then they either take turns going after u or they all try to get u at once while u deliver killing blows. ive played thru 6 or 7 times now n still going. in fact i have only one complaint about it, i just wish there was a bit more to do, as far as sidequesting that is, if u can even consider that a real complaint. definitly one of my top favs now. dont miss it

3 times through.

I played this game 3 times through it is I must say the best game I have ever played. It has good camera angels, it has beautiful landscapes, you get attached to the character's, it has a great plot, it does not set you back too far if you lose, and only reason it is rated mature is because it has some blood in it that is the only reason. I love this game. This is the best game I have ever played and I HAVE 26 GAMES!

Genji

A fast paced game that has a lot of play time, plus I love these types of games. They are still putting our awesome PS games.

Great slashing game with a bit more to offer

Genji takes the standard slashing game formula and adds to it with special "Kumai" attacks. In these special attacks, the player can slow time to unleash devistating counter attacks against enemies.

The game is fun, with intuitive play control and wonderful graphics. Some of the bosses are inordinately difficult in comparison to the standard enemies.

The game is also short though, and left me wanting a longer scenario. After beating the game, some extra challenges are unlocked. The extra challenges are not spectacular enough to keep replay value high.

This game is worth picking up for the low cost. It should keep a gamer entertained for several days if not a few weeks.
