Genji: Dawn of the Samurai (PlayStation 2, 2005)

The tittle says it all. This game is a combination of Nano Breaker and Onimusha. It's a good game and depending on your playing style will keep you playing for a couple of weeks. I think its possible to beat it if you rent it, but the only thing is that not very many places carry this game for rent. I bought it and was very satisfied with the story and the graphics. It's very original and the moment they make a new Genji I'll definetelly go and get it.

This game did have a good story and the graphics were great but I thought I beat it a little too fast. Their are things to do after you beat it but I don't play a game for the afterward part, I like a challenging game that keeps me going at it for weeks. I just found it too easy to beat.

Pros
+ Lots of fighting with plenty of boss battles mixed in.
+ Fast moving, athletic character.
+ Lots of style & a compelling story.

Cons
- Too much button mashing & searching for upgrades is a chore.
- Without the powers & unique bosses the game is pretty much cookie cutter.
- Too much dialogue & lots of useless cutscenes that break up the gameplay.
- Limited save points.

Comments
This game is some fun to play around with. Camera angles are often frustrating & searching for upgrades is not much fun. But the fast paced action should keep any fan of the action genre playing for at least a few hours. There are two characters playable and their styles are quite different. Hordes of bad guys attack at a time and you will slice your way through them like a champ. Just remember to use block against bosses or you'll be replaying through a lot of game.

Verdict
Worth playing if you are a fan of action games or samurai games. Probably no more than a rental for most though. 3.5/5

I used to have this game before and some how misplaced it. the best part about the game is that you get to play again after beating it and you still have the exp. items.

This game has fast game play, blood but not too much. The sword techniques and sword cuts are very accurate. This game is enjoyable to play.

The only downside to the game is the lack of vital health needs in certain sections of the game, preferrably before the main bosses. If they include a few more points to receive health in the game it would be much better.

Great game, good story, and great graphics of feudal Japan.

ACTION AND GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Excellent game! Beautifully designed with graphics and plot that match. It may be short, but I love to play it over and over and discover things that I might have overlooked...

To be honest, I thought I was buying a different game at first. And tried to retract my order. But the payment had already been recieved, so I decided to check the game out myself. Boy, am I glad I did.

This is an incredible game with rich artistry and historic flavor. I think I bought a japanese version, because the game is subtitled. This actually adds to the enjoyment of the game. The story is very engaging, and keeps you on your toes. You play one of two fighters in old fuedal Japan, avenging the overthrow of their family. Each has their own individual strengths and weaknesses on how to procede throught each chapter of the story.The combat system is based on a timing criterium. Meaning you get better points for attacking at the right time, rather than standard button mashing. Fortunately, your character(s) are given a little 'help' to tell you just when is the right time to strike.
Altogether, I would definitely recommend this game.

I love the gameplay! It is very original. The graphics are good, and the plot is O.K., It is very fun to play on a saturday afternoon... But most of the time i end up finishing it on that afternoon!

Great game. Great plot. I like the game mode. It is easy. I just hope the game should be a a little bit longer.

Absolutely love the graphics of this game. A beautiful world for sure. If you're not into complicated moves but into the fighting stuff, this is the game for you. If you like needing "special moves" and being able to further the character with special "moves" that are remembered (ie: A+B+up+left or stuff like that) it's not so great. You're pretty limited to basic programmed moves and attacks. Other than that, it's alright, pretty good but not the best out there. If you excel at games like mortal combat, where combos are key - you're likely to find this game too easy.
