    quality framerates, but honestly this is the best (not to mention most elaborate) use of motion controls I've personally seen thus far, particularly the mudman combo which is one of the most rewarding maneuvers I've ever experienced in any game. If only there is an entire game based around controls like that but I only hear of games using the A button instead as if it's quality framerates, but honestly this is the best (not to mention most elaborate) use of motion controls I've personally seen thus far, particularly the mudman combo which is one of the most rewarding maneuvers I've ever experienced in any game.

    Now... the reason that this is a 10 is because of the price. It is SO cheap and you get a guilty pleasure that is actually fun. 4 different characters all with special abilities that you can upgrade makes this game playable for HOURS.

    Onechanbara is a straight forward one motion wii mote game. With a poor story, simple gameplay mechanics and decent graphics, only those who really want to mindlessly use the same slashing moves to kill the same zombies over and over will want this. Game could have used a better story, more intricate controls, less being trapped in a box of zombies, and maybe some decent AI, you can walk Onechanbara is a straight forward one motion wii mote game.

    From the bad story to the all Japanese language track, this is a game that is destined for a well-deserved dedicated cult-following.

    I have been playing this game from the moment i bought it. I can't lie, i was very skeptical about purchasing this game. It was only $30 so i decided to get it and i like it a lot. The sound effects are great, it's very gory, and the controls work great. The sound compliments the action greatly, and all the gore or shall i say blood that spews out is satisfying. Yes the story I have been playing this game from the moment i bought it. I can't lie, i was very skeptical about purchasing this game. It was only $30 so i decided to get it and i like it a lot. The sound effects are great, it's very gory, and the controls work great. The sound compliments the action greatly, and all the gore or shall i say blood that spews out is satisfying. Yes the story doesn't make much sense, and the stages are the same for each character but in different orders and or in reverse, but just cutting into zombies with the ladies and seeing the blood makes you forget all about the poorly orchestrated story. Also there is co op and other items to earn and also level ups. There is really a lot of depth to this game. If you get past the poorly told story mode, you will truely like this game. Especially seeing that this is another addition for those gamers looking for a more adult feel to the Wii.… Expand

    Don't listen to these n00b reviewers. For what it's worth, this game delivers more than any other wannabe Wii games. It would have been better with some cutscenes but its fluid action more than makes it up for its shortcomings.

    If you are looking for silly gory fun this is awesome. It plays well and is just crazy as a game. And who doesn't like bikinis and zombies? This could have been a worse game and I probably would have enjoyed it just for the visuals and the zombie shredding, but it turns out to be a good game overall, with good controls and addicting game play.

    If you are looking for a full 30 hour adventure experience, hold your horses because Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers is not an adventure game per se.

    If you're looking for some cheap thrills, you could certainly do worse than this mindless hack-and-slash affair. If a little more work had been put into the game's presentation, this would actually be a highly recommended game.
