Ninjas
just get way too much attention when it comes to sword wielding Japanese
fighters from times of yore. Hacking
people up with katanas, tossing shuriken, dressing up in tight black
clothing, you can’t walk two steps without bumping into the stuff.
It’s a good thing a few publishers out there realizes that,
shucks howdy, there were samurai back then too.
Heavy armor, big swords, and a strangely subtle bad-assed nature
to them, it’s hard not to like samurai. |

Now
samurai lovers have a third installment in the Onimusha series to look
forward to. This time
following up with our hero from the original Onimusha, Takeshi Kaneshiro,
players have to fight their way through four centuries of Japanese
history, follow the story of two individuals instead of one.

Capcom strives to realize the title real and dramatic camerawork. Players will exalt the battle scenes, as they are full of depth, and even more sword slashing action. -
The
opening movies have been pushed to a new level.
Capcom has enlisted the talents of Hong Kong action star and
director Donnie Yen as the CG action director.
Returning to the Onimusha project is Robot, the company
responsible for making all of the Onimusha opening movies and
Yamazaki Takeshi, the CG movie director. Onimusha 3 is a
collaboration of several talented staff members as they focus on
bringing a masterpiece that rivals even the biggest blockbuster
movies.
- Flagship, the company responsible for scripting the stories for Onimusha: Warlords and Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny increase the level and depth of the story for Onimusha 3. With more drama and thrills than before, Onimusha 3 will weave an epic tale bringing the series to a whole new level. - Onimusha 3 introduces a ‘dual hero system’, bringing not only a deeper story, but also a game chock full of content and detail! The design of the ‘dual hero system’ offers two very different kinds of action, giving the player unique ways to enjoy the game as they experience very different styles of excitement!
