It's no Bushido Blade, but it does a couple things well.
But it's no Bushido Blade, thats for sure.
The game feels kind of clunky and hard to control, you'll get used to it if you have the persistence, however.
Developing your character in the single player mode is fun for awhile, but quickly it'll come repetitive. You'll just wish for more to do.
If you can find a second person tp play with, it'll be slightly more fun.
Though not by much. Graphically the game is decent, and the sounds not all bad either.
But theres not much in the way of a music track, so it can be pretty silent.
I don't mind this TOO much, but it may be a deterrent for some folk. Theres better Samurai games out there now, so unless your a collector theres really no need to pick this up.
