first off this game isent that bad. It was just a little frustraiting at times. i would get to a certain part and defeat one of a factions dude and id have one cent of life left and get hit by a stray guy. if anyone has ever played ninja gaiden, if you've played any of those and you loved them. you might not really get hooked or enjoy this game a lot. the world is a bit small. theres only nine parts to it. and there is no in between like other games where you can do stuff before you get to the next town. now you can create your own weapons from stuff you find after killing meaby someone. if its dropped. every now and then you might get the same mission over again. if you die you keep all your weapons and stuff you had. you just have to do the scenes over again. which makes this game a bit repetative. after about five times. if you leave amana you have to redu. some eimes for people who just love none stope killing. which i do. there might be a scene where you have to kill enemys that dont stop comeing. also if you are fighting a guy and you kill him and a guy from an opposing faction sees your sword out he automatically takes his sword out to fight.

in all the game was fun but dragged on as i was doing my 5th go around on the scenes

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.

Seriously, I only lasted 5 minutes and boxed it up and sent it back.
