Bad Story, Bad Characters and Bad Game...

I expect so much more for this game, but i have to say it was terrible. The game have a bad story, and maybe is for the influence of the characters. All characters are terrible, are pathetic and boring (there clothes and the personality), they are not interesting; maybe the exception is tenkai ( because he is samanosuke), but dont fix in the story. The good thing in the game is the effects, but is like a big production of hollywood with a poor drama. Other bad thing in the game is the enemy attack, in the other onimushas some attack of the enemy have a little sequence, for example, in onimusha warlords some attack of the big skeleton is to pick up the neck of the samanosuke or kaede and throw away to the ground, or that attack for a monster with a tentacles; in onimusha 4 every effect of the enemy attack is to fall on the ground, thats so simple and boring.

Other bad thing is the weapons, cmon!!! why soki has to buy his weapon or get ones in the treasure box??, this weapons arent regular, the weapons has to be special ones and to get ones has to be for a special way (like beat a boss or decode a special monument). And the co-op style is really bad; the story of the game, force you to believe that all characters are in the game with you, but only are two characters... well, first of all is hard to control four characters in the same time (interesting but hard), for that only two guys appear (STINKS). For a better consist story, is enough one characters in the lead, only if the story make it happen, two guys in the lead is good, but dont force us to believe that four characters are in the game, when arent, because dont fix with the story.

I have to repeat the bad characters that appear in the game; i expect more because the old onimushas have great characters (except for onimusha 2).

I hope this can change, because im still a fan of onimusha series.
