Onimusha 3: Demon Siege for PlayStation 2

Strengths: + beautiful graphics and highly detailed environments + action is fun

Weakness: - too many "fetch" quests - ridiculous story - bosses are somewhat difficult

Onimusha 3 is a gorgeous looking game and the controls are easy to learn and responsive, but provided with a weak story and this being the third game in the series, it's starting to wear thin. For the third installment in the Onimusha series, Capcom changed a few things. They've added analog support so now players have the option to use the sticks or the D-pad to control the characters. The...

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege for PlayStation 2

Strengths: Top notch graphics, Good combination of action & puzzle

Weakness: Nothing comes to mind

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege is the third game in the Onimusha series on the Playstation 2 and is a can't miss action adventure game. Onimusha to me is a combination of Devil May Cry & Resident Evil as it consist of a good amount of action with it's swordplay yet with the tank style controls & puzzles it's very reminiscent of the Resident Evil games. Onimusha 3: Demon Siege focuses more on the action...

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege for PlayStation 2

Strengths: Graphics, gameplay

Weakness: Brevity of the game.

Onimusha 3 finally brings us to the conclusion of the series -- and what a conclusion it is. Simply put, this game will blow away fans of the first couple of games. The graphics are astounding here. The prerendered backgrounds are ditched for more realistic real-time backgrounds which bring the environments to life. The sound effects and music are all very fitting and add to the immersion factor...

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege for PlayStation 2

Strengths: Hack and slash fun. Beautiful game. Challenging.

Weakness: Difficulty can get in the way of fun at first.

I remember when I first played Genma Onimusha, the first game in the series, and thought, "This is hard." Once I finally mastered it I found the game challenging and satisfying. This game has more of the same. It may take a little time to get use to it, but once you master combat you'll be quite satisfied in the gameplay. You play Sanuske from feudal Japan of Jacques from France and fight hordes...

best in the series

Strengths: analog controls (finally), usual good story

Weakness: a little short

I never actually made it through the first couple of onimusha's because the controls were so horrible and the gameplay very difficult. This game improves in both those categories by finally putting in analog controls. They work great and make the game much easier for me. It has a very good story as all these games seem to have, and is fun to play along with, but it is a little short. This is a...

Resident Evil + Samurai = fun

Strengths: Great gameplay, cool characters and weapons

Weakness: a little short, but fun while it lasts

I really like this series. As I said above, it is like Resident Evil, but with a TON of action and really cool weapons and magic. Every game in this series has been good fun, and this one is no exception. If you like Devil May Cry 1 or 3 (2 doesn't count as a video game imho) you'll like this. Can't wait for a sequal.

Best Onimusha Ever!

Strengths: The best intro movie ever made. All around great game.

Weakness: very difficult.

Onimusha 3: Demon Seige is is the latest installment in the Onimusha series. The third time's a charm and Demon Seige delivers the greatest Onimusha game yet. From the incredible, mind-blowing CG intro, to the awesome action packed gameplay, everything is high quality. The French actor Jean Reno was brought in to play one of the characters. Everything about the game is big budget and Capcom has...

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege for PlayStation 2

Strengths: Visually satisfying, with excellent story and action sequences. Awesome weapons and upgrades.

Weakness: Action slows down when multiple enemies are on screen

Capcom comes through again, with probably the best title in the series. Fast-paced and visually stunning, Onimusha 3 follows 2 characters who are trying to find their way back to their respective time periods after they become trapped in a plot using time-travel to slaughter every human on the planet. Much like the Resident Evil titles, your character must solve puzzles and collect certain items...

Onimusha 3

Strengths: Great Graphics and Story

Weakness: Same old Onimusha game

Onimusha has been through 3 action games, 1 stategy on the GBA, and a fighting game, with another chapter to be released soon. Onimusha 3 continues the basic hack and slash adventure found in the previous 2 games. As usual, the story is top notch. Capcom produces these games as if they were cinematic movies. Basically the same game, but with a different story, purchase this game if you want to...

Onimusha 3 Demon Siege

Attention all gamers out there! Attention! The opening sequence of Onimusha 3: Demon Siege is quite obviously one of the finest feats of CG animation ever to grace a video game, any system. This opening sequence serves to not only ready the gamer for what is a quality adventure game, but it almost seems to inspire the player to want to dole out some bladed justice. You see, this game marks the...

Onimusha 3 Demon Siege

Or, maybe it's just the licensed features of Japanese star Takeshi Kaneshiro, last seen as textures on the model of Samanosuke from the first Onimusha. Apparently, though, the folks at Capcom didn't

Onimusha 3 Demon Siege

Trilogies are all the rage in the movie biz these days and audiences just can't seem to get enough of them. From The Matrix to Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings to American Pie, the sheer amount of stories out there with three chapters is overwhelming. As of late, the videogame industry appears to be headed in a similar direction too, with games like Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank leading...
