    Onimusha 2 avoids the mistake made by the previous title in placing difficult puzzles, often under a time limit, at awkward points in the game.

    This time around there is more character interaction, more action, more techniques, and THANKFULLY the game is much longer.

    Anyone coming to Onimusha 2 cold will find brilliant beauty, but baffling execution.

    A fine game, above average. Cool graphics, very interesting atmosphere, nice mechanics, boring story.

    The overall score is based on how much fun I personally had with every component of the game
    and the overall experience.

    Played this when I was younger, and couldn't stop thinking about the camera panning that the series had always had.
