Onimusha 2 is the second of three games in Capcom's Onimusha Trilogy. The new game follows the story of a new charater, Jubei Yagyu, who's village has been attacked by Nobunaga, and he thirst for revenge.
The Graphics are phenominal, absolutly gorgeous. A true masterpeice with all do respects. The CG cut scenes are fantastic, and there are twice as much then in the origonal. This game can be very dramatic.
The gameplay has the same hack-n-slash gameplay of the origonal with some new twist. The main charater is now open to use Swords, A Spear, A Hammer, A Gun, and you can now upgrade your Armor. This game is definatly bigger than the first. However, the game also has a trading system with NPCs. It is essential that any gifts you find, you must trade in with someone or else you will so find yourself stuck im the game (And late in the Game) and you will have to start the game all over again (I'm not joking). But you also have friends that will aid you in battle and they are really a big help. Plus the magic has been improved from the origonal.
Onimusha 2 seems to be more of a spin-off from the origonal, I was hoping for the return of Samanoske rather than someone new who doesn't seem all that interesting. But its a solid title overall. If you liek the first one, You will enjoy the second.
