Post by: Jackal on February 06, 2001, 03:49:38 PM
I just pciked it up today and wanted to know if anyone else had it.  It looks great so far.  
I also picked up The Fist of the North Star.

The game looks great.  I just have to get use to the controls.  I can\'t wait to see what the Resident Evil games are going to look like!

Do not buy Fist of the North Star!  (based on initial impressions)

I\'ll try to get some screen hosts once I figure out what the save feature is saying.

The AA isn\'t bad, about the same as Shen Mue.  I think the game looks good but I really won\'t have time to get into it until this evening.  I have to figure out what the game save message is.  It looks like it\'s telling me that it\'s going to overwrite another game save but I have enough room on the mem card for it not have to do that.  Once I figure that out them I\'ll get going.  As for the box art, the import box is posted above, I don\'t know how the us box will look.

Here are 2 screenshots that I took from the game a few minutes ago.  I wish I could get some good action shots but I can\'t play and click the mouse at the same time.  So I caught an action scene from the movie that plays until you start the game.  I did my best to get a good moving scene but everything moves so fast in the fights that it was hard with my capture card.

This game does have an English option!  So you can hear the audio and read certain things in either Japanese or English.  Now I know how to save.  It\'s more import friendly than I thought.

Quite cool yes :)

I\'m going to get it as well, the Pal version ( so I\'m waiting with you ooseven ), but I\'ll just have to see some reviews of it first.

Still, it\'s on my most-waited-games list ;)

When did Onimusha come out? I think the game looks sweet and will definitely get a copy, i just didn\'t think it was out yet. I\'m in the states by the way.

My version is the import, but it does have an option to turn the audio and some of the text (menus) into English.  It helps a lot.

Can\'t play it yet. I have to wait for the US version. I\'ll definitely pick it up though. For now I\'m working my way through Dino Crisis 2(I needed a survival horror fix bad.) Can\'t wait till it gets here though.

Is Onimusha also too short?

I hate short games. And looks like every quality game to PS2 is too short.

Oh yes this includes Rayman Revolution. It\'s very cool but quite short...

I completed the game Saturday.  I have to admit that it\'s not a long game, but it is a good one to me.  I still have to get the Bishamon sword, it\'s the Rocket Launcher of the game.  Infinite power and very strong.

Yeah.  I know the one.  I killed him a few times myself. :D

It\'s a very strange and frustrating puzzle as you already know but I found some help at the Gamefaq.com Onimusha board.

Quote
- Water Trap Puzzle: You need to shift the 2 pieces of the Saito Crest
together. I think they need not meet at the middle bottom, but this is what I
usually do. The crests need to "move" on the 4 separate pieces to meet up. You
need to select the darkened spaces to indicate where the pieces will shift to
next.
- Solution: Shift the 4 pieces to the middle center level. (Shift them piece by
piece to the center middle level).
- Shift all 4 pieces to the left and swap place with the left crest. Now the
left crest is in the center middle position.
- Shift all 4 pieces down and right to occupy the bottom middle and bottom
right spaces. Shift the left crest down so that it touches bottom.
- Shift the middle 2 pieces to the top right (above the right crest).
- Now, 2 pieces should be at the top right of the crest while the other 2
pieces should be at the bottom right of the right crest.
- Shift the top right pieces down to center middle.
- Shift the bottom right pieces left to center middle.
- Shift the right crest to middle where both crests can finally be joined.


See if that helps.  It\'ll take a few tries to get it right.
