I had high hopes for this game. I liked Shogun and I always wanted a cool Samurai video game to come out. This one ain't it. Don't get me wrong. This game does have its charm in running around slashing people, collecting or forging swords, and making choices that affect the outcome of the game. There are a bunch of problems with it though. First of all, the graphics are mediocre at best. The map is too limited and small for a supposed "free-roam" style of game. Also, there's way too many areas where it looks like you should be able to walk or jump to, but an invisible forcefield blocks your path. The sound is kind of fake, and the story is weak. I can only hope that Bethesda(the makers of Oblivion and Fallout3) take it upon themselves to make an action/RPG epic set in feudal Japan, cause they know how to do it right.
