    Nice graphics...but i still like the story of the old BFM better just cuz of the cool scrolls and the powerful sword of luminesence, Lumina!

    I like this because musashi can duplicate his oponents' abilities and use it against them.

    The game is nice... but I expected a better sequel than this. The graphics is nice.. the camera view is horrible.. I don't like it. The I agree w/ James P.; the first BFM was the best! Besides that... the game is nice.

    Personally I loved both.It was not in the least bad in my opinion.So many people are whining about voice acting is annoying.

    I love the first BFM, Im glad it was simular to the first game. But it should have been longer.

    While it does have its weaknesses (the levels are a bit generic and there was a bit too much backtracking for my taste), Musashi succeeds with great visual style, excellent humor, and rock-solid gameplay. [March 2005, p.128]

    An enticing blend of action and RPG adventure. The game mixes the best elements of both genres, resulting in a title that is just a hair away from greatness. Musashi may not be Zelda's equal, but it sure is close. [Apr 2005, p.84]

    With impeccable world and character design, quirky cool real-time cinemas that pay homage to an era of gaming gone by, an outstanding opening movie and score, and compelling action-role playing for the duration, Musashi: Samurai Legend is a beacon of hope for a homoginized world. [March 2005, p.56]
