Good:
You get a free case for the CD?

Bad.
No jump button.
Linear game play (You use a button to access doors and stairs, what is this 1985?)
Clunky controls. Its like driving an RC car where you have to mentally reverse your thinking when the car is coming toward you versus going away. This is totally lame and makes the game practically unplayable.
Did I mention no jump button?

I paid $5 and would have had more fun had I kept the money and A) made a paper airplane with it or B) set it on fire and watched the delightful glow.

Buy Devil May Cry 3 and have a blast. Avoid this one

total garbage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to recommend this game, but I can't-at least not at its current price. The game has a lot of great aspects to it. It has the potential to be a great game in the tradition of the Zelda's of the gaming world. Unfortunately, this game has a fatal flaw-its length. Honest to God, when I finished the game I thought that I was only through the first part. I thought okay, now onto the next stage. Instead, the game informed me that the next installment was coming soon. I felt so gypped. I even played it twice thinking I may have missed something that caused me to choose the shortest version of the game-but no. Honestly, I would rent this game on a weekend with no plans. You simply cannot afford to spend good money on a game that if it lasts you a weekend, I would be shocked. Don't buy this game. It has no replay or length value.

Don't buy this ...!!

This is not really a game at all! Basically, all you do is kill a demon or two with a sword and then watch a fifteen minute movie in between about five minute segments of gameplay. The controls are horrible too.

beautiful but boring

Beautiful graphics and color, but pure boredom in gameplay. Control of the character is chunky and extrememly limited. I loved the change of weaponry, but absolutely hated the animated sequences. Onimusha was trying to be more of a cgi movie, than an actual game. Unless you like to sit back and watch poor movies with dubbed dialogue, stay away from this one.

Graphics good, game bad

Listen, I will admit that this game's graphics are just about second to none, but that's about all this game has going for it. This Samurai-type guy is on a quest to save a woman, which doesn't really take to long. Along the way you kill the same demons over and over, you have only one attack and one block. After you kill all the demons at one location, you're interrupted by more slow plot lines that actually take away from the rest of the game. The game is slow and transitions are sketchy, the controls leave MUCH to be desired, the plot is boring and rudely interrupts you. If not for the story pieces, an average gamer could easily beat this game in about an hour. ...[Save] your moolah for ANYTHING else.

Feels familiar

i L O V E video games, and really wish that more of them got me as excited as the ads for the games seem too. This game had its moments, and it was the first game I played on PS2 (came with the system where I got mine). I was blown away initially- especially with the opening movie etc... but very soon thereafter had a real de-ja-vue feeling about the game. The still camera and akward pauses as you move from one screen to the next, and the VERY annoying enemy just off the screen where you can't see or attack has gotten way to old. Ultimately I think the game just isn't "dynamic" enough to keep my interest. BTW to give you perspective, my all time favorite video game is Tomb Raider- the original. It was unique, exciting, I actually jumped outta my seat when that first Tyrannosaurus came at me (you remember don't you!) and the puzzles were hard enough to keep my interest but not so crazy hard you needed a $20.00 strategy guide to finish it. Onimusha lacks that innovation. Rent it if you love the Res Evil thing, otherwise... save your dough and wait.

Rent, Don't Buy

The game itself is alright but it has too many flaws to make it anygood. First of all the controls are just plain bad and the graphics aren't great either. You also can't skip automated scenes you've already seen and the storyline is nothing special. The battle system I have to admit was alright but as the for the rest of the game... Anyway, if you're interested in the game go out and rent it before you think of buying it.

The Xbox version is way better
