What can I say? This game is outstanding! The graphics are stunning. And to top it off.....the musical score is top notch! I swear, what John Williams(orchestra conductor) did for Star Wars, it\'s the same for the musical score for Onimusha!
Now, the background maybe prerendered, but the characters are so graphically well done that they don\'t look out of place like Resident Evil\'s characters were on Playstation One!
And the control, it\'s old school RE with enhanced moves: quicker and faster with a sweet 180 degree turn. The attack moves are scarier than the monsters that pounce on our hero, Samanasuke. I swear, when he swats that sabre, he\'s a freaking blur! And that impaling move....it would give Dracula nightmares!
So far, I\'ve only had 30 minutes of play. Had to have my sleep or I\'m useless at work so....
This game is so freaking smooth. I don\'t care if it\'s only 9 hours long. RE was 6 hours long and I enjoyed the hell out of each game. Metal Gear Solid was a paltry 4 hours long and I was very very satisfied with the game.
So last night, I had a chance to play the game a bit. So far, no complaints.
Smoother than a cheerleader\'s thighs? Well...nothing is smoother than a cheerleader\'s thighs but this is close. :)

The Blue Falcon agrees with this topic 100%!!!! I kept playing it until almost 4:ooam this morning and still haven\'t gotten very far.......kinda like with that cheerleader!!!!!!
-
I\'m on my 2nd go with Kadeka (sp??) ya know the chick
She pisses me off, I have to use my medicine to keep her healthy
I want to stock pile medicine to get through the Dark Realm, I made it to ablut 8 or 9 levels but then died,
-
yea,
I\'m getting killed with the girl too. I can\'t figure out the puzzle near the garden. I guess I\'ll need whatever is in the chest to open that door outside the mirror (save point).
darryl, any help?
Thanks,

Theres a book in the door somewhere through the door to the left of the chest. The answer to the question is only 2 selections not 3 like the ones before the last choice leave blank
It took me a little while also
-
i still need this game, screw the cheerleaders... heh, i said... ah forget it, I NEED THIS GAME!
-
I only played the game for an hour today and I already think it freakin\' rocks! I love how fast he moves when you attack! I was afraid he would move too slow, which just wouldn\'t suit a warrior like him. Unfortunately, I can\'t play again till tomorrow. Can\'t wait!
-
Truly a MUST HAVE for any PS2 collection!!!!
-
damnit,
I\'m in the dark realm and I\'m out of herbs. This sucks. Playing the girl took all of my herbs.
HINT, Save your herbs when you\'re playing as the girls so that you can turn them into medicine when you\'re the guy again.

The girl does suck, almost bad enough to make me turn the game off. Fighting with her is pointless, as you don\'t get souls and you get your ass kicked until you get the other dagger. I\'m using her for the second time--right before the last boss (or so I would imagine?! ).
Ugh!
-
I used all my herbs when I was her, and at times had to run through many situations with NO health left. I HAD to save it in that condition once and that was no fun.
I too get through to like the 7th level of the underworld, but those minotaur looking things keep whippin me good! I keep forgetting that when they do their double attack, I gotta block again!!
ARRRGH!! I\'m goin to bed :D
-
I agree with everyone this games is sweet. So far it hasn\'t been as scary as some of the othere resident evil games, but i dont think thats what it is aiming for wither.
I have to comment on some of the puzzle elements of the game though. They just seem to blend right into whats going on and never seem out of place. I am not that far into it yet but I have had a couple number boxes (easy but still a good idea)
and the part where sam and kaeda have to escape by pulling levers and letting eash other through. This was col and i especially like lighting the candles in the one room and then the x + o platform you have to walk across :)

First off, may I say "I\'m hating work!" Cuz with ATV, Starfighter, Triple Play, and now Onimusha I JUST SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE FORCED TO GO TO WORK!!! It just seems inhumane! I mean the torture that is the waiting until 4:30pm is unbearable [not to mention that I\'m a great employee, so I never really seem to leave until 6pm or later :mad: . -- And lets not even get into the "quality time" that a good husband [dang, me again!] has to offer the spouse once I *do* get home! Oh, sooo many sweet games. I can remember chomping at the bit through christmas thinking "when will the GREAT games arrive for PS2"...perhaps the waiting is over. Now I just hope this continues to be my "problem" for the next few years! :p
Okay, comment first: Jeepnrocks (and numerous others) have indicated that they don\'t think it is as scary as the other RE series. But isn\'t this simply a matter of fact? I thought Capcom was outing Onimusha as "something else". In other words, yes Capcom made a number of RE games/sequels. But they also made Dino Crisis. Did I miss something? Was Dino Crisis a spin on RE or its own game with less "scare" and simply more "action"? Similarly, I had gathered that Onimusha is a game set in feudal Japan with its "own" story that does not have anything to do with RE. No zombies, per se. No terrible corporation creating biohazardous mutations, etc. Onimusha is its own story...its own game...with its bent on action more than scare, and that action being not of dinos but of demons. Am I missing something?
Now, the question: [and please SOMEBODY read and answer this -- don\'t get bogged down in the comment above and overlook answering this question please! Thanks!] Since I am a poor, ignorant, american with no purposeful skills in the japanese language... :p ... how exactly am I to decipher the challenges/riddles/Q&As that exist in those chests next to the mirrors, etc.? I mean, yeah, I got lucky ONCE so far...but its all been a frustrating bout of trial & error...simply mashing permutations. Bleh! Is there any way to decipher this japanese text short of *learning* it??? Did I miss turning off/on a certain option at the beginning of the game? How does Capcom really expect me to honestly answer their historical questions they pose? Appreciate the ear...looking forward to the "hear".

w1ngman,
To decipher those codes you\'ll need "books" that are found elsewhere in the game. After you find a few volumes then you head back to the treasure chest to answer the question.
I got through with the girl without using any herbs. The key was to run when you can and fight them one at a time. Don\'t let them gang up on you. Now I\'ve got 5 medicine. Dark Realm here I come.

I wish there was a mode that you could activate to play only as the chick.
She rocks in my opinion.
I didnt lose ANY life when I played as her, you just have to be smart about how you fight with her.
To beat the minotaurs in the Dark Realm use the matchlock with burst shot.
You should have lots of bullets so you shouldnt really need to worry about running out.
Thats how I beat most of the hard levels in the dark realm.
Those and soul absorers.
Soul Absorbers rock.
So do talismans.
-
Thanks Raysmd. Actually, about an hour or so after I posted that question I started coming across those books. Noticed their english phrases had correlating japanese characters that matched ones I\'d seen when attempting to open the chests. You\'re right,...now I just have to go back to the chests, etc. Thanks again! Enjoyable game!
-
To Faithdies,
Wait till you clear the mini-game. You\'ll get to use the B-sword and goodies, one of w/c is to have 99 Soul Absorbers at the beginning of the game

She\'s not that bad once you learn how to use her. First off, don\'t try to fight every monster with her! I do quite a bit of running with her. I can do pretty good with her now and only use maybe 2, 3 herbs tops.
Take you time and find all of the Flourites the first time through! This will unlock the mini-game, Oni Spirits where you can fight your way through to win the Bishimon sword. It\'s the equivalent of the Rocket Launcher from RE. You DO want this don\'t you? You should have 15 flourites BEFORE you open the door with that weird Blue plate. If not, go back and find them BEFORE you enter that area. You will find the other 5 in the new section of the town.
You will also come across "Talisman" Get them! If you die they will bring you back to life! The is a secret one hidden in the dock area too! Sammy will come to an area where they bridge is up and he can\'t cross. use an arrow or bullets to shoot the rope and drop the bridge. I think the is a chest there. Go to the back wall and slash the scroll on it. You will find the Talisman behind it. There are some hidden things like this throughout the game with books and other items hidden behind them so feel free to slash the wall to make sure that you aren\'t leaving anything behind.
My best time was 2:43, with the Bishimon sword of course.
When trying to get the Bishimon sword prepared to be frustrated! But it can be done.
Other extras (at least with the import version)
1. Open the Easy Mode (got it before I even completed the game?)
2. Open the Hard mode
....Infinite arrows and fire arrows
....Infinite bullets and burst bullets
....99 Soul Absorbers
3. Unlock Special suit for Samenosuke
4. Unlock special suit for Kaeda
5. Unlock Onimusha 2 trailer (really isn\'t much)
-
I just have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying the hell out of Onimusha. If that game was a smooth legged cheerleader who\'s name is Onimusha, I\'d say "I am vigorously enjoying the hell out of Onimusha."
This game is fun.
Note : I know I can get yellow spirits to refill my life bar by successfully countering the enemy\'s attack. But is there another way to get yellow spirits? I can\'t always counter when I want to since some take so long to attack me.
-
i caved and got Onimusha yesterday, my jaw is still on the living room floor.... the graphics are spectacular!

SPOILER - do not read if you haven\'t finished
