IMMENSE GAMEPLAY!

User Rating: 9.6 | Shin Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams PS2
Set in Medieval Japan. You are "Soki", "The Oni Of The Ash", "Hideyasu", "The Blue Demon" and the "Onimusha". Genma troops have once again taken arms and attempted to gain domination of the world. The Oni have took action. Can you, The Onimusha and your companions, halt the evil forces and destroy the God Of Light?

This game has it all. The game does not only have great gameplay...But realistic and fun gameplay. This game has supreme graphics which pushes the PS2 to it's limits. The realistic environments and smooth effects do not cease to stun. The sounds make you feel the thrill of hacking and slashing your way through thousands of enemies while bracing the harmonic and ambient natural atmosphere. This game has never ending fun - Solving puzzles, inhaling orbs and improving weaponry and armour. The 5 fully playable characters add depth and variety to the game. The massive array of enemies makes you never feel bored.

The story is one to die for...So if the other aspects and features do not interest you - The epic story of struggle will certainly fill in the gaps. The depth and precision in all cut scenes and stories make you feel enlightened.

The combat system is detailed and incredibly fluid and thrilling. You can use a multitude of attacks and specials and still find more attacks and upgrades. The characters each appear fluent with their own unique weaponry.

However, unfortunately there was some annoyances. Such as: When you die you reload with the same amount of health and being unable to buy more supply's when in a stage...But as skills improve and you become more prepared - This problem fades away.

Overall - Another masterpiece. A game which will keep you joyfully mesmerized for hours on end.
