    The third-best Onimusha game. Lacks the variety of Oni 2 and the finesse of Oni Warlords. Time is spent split between two characters in two times; Samanosuke in modern-day Paris, and Jacques in Japan's Warring States era. Does very much what previous Oni games did better, and little else. Not a bad game, but not universally recommended.

    Aside from an absolutely breathtaking intro (it was unbelievable to think that is what the PS2 was capable of) this game is really just lazy. The game uses Jean Reno's likeness in the game, and yet only the French version of the game uses the actor's real voice. We all know he can speak fantastic English, why on earth didn't he do the English one as well.

We all know he can speak fantastic English, why on earth didn't he do the English one as well. Whoever the voice actor was that they got instead of him sounds nothing like him, so it was kind of bizzar seeing Reno's face with another voice. It felt more like this was a fan made mod than anything else. As to the game itself: It really doesn't do ANYTHING new, just the same stuff from the last games in a different location. The game isn't bad, just a really big disappointment. This is what you would expect from a Hollywood movie -Game licence game. But from the Onimusha franchise, this was just a bit of a slap in the face. Overall: It is a good game, and I would only recommend to those who have not tried the previous games.… Expand

    O enredo desse jogo é muito chapado cara, não vou comentar mt sobre para que fique de surpresa para quem for jogar. A jogabilidade é simples mas mt responsiva, os puzzle são interessantes e não chega a enjoar, o game lembra bastante Resident Evil em sua formula de leva e trás de itens para abrir novas passagens, dificuldade mediada, Boss battles interessantes mas achei que poderiam terO enredo desse jogo é muito chapado cara, não vou comentar mt sobre para que fique de surpresa para quem for jogar. A jogabilidade é simples mas mt responsiva, os puzzle são interessantes e não chega a enjoar, o game lembra bastante Resident Evil em sua formula de leva e trás de itens para abrir novas passagens, dificuldade mediada, Boss battles interessantes mas achei que poderiam ter dado uma melhor diversificada mas no geral é um ótimo game para passar o tempo e se divertir principalmente por conta da sua jogabilidade simples porém divertida e seu enredo que é mt bizarro. Nota 7/10
    Demorei 9H 48M parar zerar podendo variar de 6H a 12 Hrs dependendo da sua velocidade nos quebra-cabeças

    -Você joga com um francês, um samurai e uma militar o que diversifica o gameplay
    -Foi primeiro da franquia que jogo e minha primeira impressão foi ótima, torço pelo retorno da franquia, com um remake ou continuação.    … Expand

    Good game. However, it is almost a mirror like replicate of previous Onimushas. Not sure worth the $55 Bucks if you already own Oni1/Oni2.

    I remember playing this out of boredom and getting myself to like it a bit.

    Onimusha 3 more accurately represents an action game like "Devil May Cry." Instead of the rigid control scheme used by the "Resident Evil" series, Onimusha 3 has fluid controls. Moving the analog stick around will directly move your character, instead of just turning him. [JPN Import]

    The introduction of a secondary hero, as well as a number of side characters that aid and even have their own role to play in the defeat of Nobunaga’s forces are handled very nicely, and the plot of the game is well constructed.

    Aside from the Leon bait-and-switch, there are few surprises in Onimusha 3—it’s a great game that fits like an old glove, so the old saying goes. A soul-sucking, flesh-leeching glove with one creepy, blinking, hollow eye.
