Onimusha - Warlords (PS2) Reviews

Onimusha has now spawned numerous sequels, and whilst I do enjoy the series, developed by Resident Evil masters Capcom, it's not without its little flaws and holes. Still, it's entertaining and certainly quite challenging, so overall I would praise it. Visually, it's a very impressive title that has excellent fluidity in terms of ...  Read the complete review

As one of the earlier releases for the PS2 you might expect 'Onimusha: Warlords' to be a little rough around the edges. Often the first crop of titles for a new console look great but, play like a ... well, hardly play at all. Onimusha bucks the trend, it offers a fine alternative to the slew of survival-horror games currently available ...  Read the complete review

After being bored to death with the Resident Evil series, I wasn't going to be easily impressed with a game nearly the same formula of puzzle, kill, puzzle repeat ad nauseaum was i?

Having seen screen shots for its preview, I could only compare the awe-inspiring graphics to the latest arcade games that so put a burning hole in my school trousers. For so long did we have the standard that computer and console games could not equal the power of a coin operated arcade machine. Yet when I played Onimusha Warlords all these ...  Read the complete review
