"Onimusha is one of the games that you just can't pass up for the PS2 this year. Even thought it hasn't redefined a genre or discovered a profound meaning to life, you still get to save the Princess and wave a shiny pointy stick around in the air. That makes it just plain fun." Review by The Slipperyone with overall score [8/10]. Includes screen shots.

"Its amazing graphics and fun gameplay make this one of those games that you need to experience. Just watch out for those damn zombies." Review by Brian Gee.

Review by Brad Gallaway and Chi Kong Lui. "Fans of survival horror could do much worse. I know that's not exactly a ringing endorsement, but that's the best I can say about a title that plays pretty good, clearly underachieves in scope and sticks to what works as if innovation were a crime." With score. Includes screen shots, art gallery and message board.

"The extensive character techniques and engrossing story line will keep gamers glued to their controllers for hours." Reviewed by Major Mike.

"Onimusha's focus on action and its lack of tedious backtracking allow it to break away from the Resident Evil mold. While die-hard Resident Evil fans will be turned off by the game's length, others will find it to be the survival-horror game for people who don't like survival-horror games." Review by Joe Fielder. Includes screen shots, FAQs, GameShark codes and walkthrough.

"In my opinion this game ranks along side of "Metal Gear Solid" and "Deus Ex." This is a must buy for the avid gamer and even if you dont care for adventure games it should be rented just to see how well the PS2 can pipe out graphics." Reviewed by Mike David with screen shots and score.

"One amazing game. If you love hack and slash action or resident evil type games, you should definitely get this masterpiece, especially with the replay value." Review by Drew Ressler with screen shots and score.

"I especially liked the upgrade-able weapons systems, and the way in which different swords worked on varying monsters with stronger or weaker degrees. These things you figure out as you play along, but every time you fight a new monster, the thrill of hacking it to mincemeat is every bit real." Review by Doug Perry.

"If you can overlook minor perspective problems, Onimusha's intense combat, stunning graphics, and involving story make this a masterpiece hotter than a mouthful of wasabi." Reviewed by Scott Steinberg.

"Fans of the "Resident Evil" series will love Onimusha, as the player has long overcome the small "nit-picky" problems inherent in the genre." Review by Russell Garbutt.

"Short and easy, but also polished and action-packed violent fun for the adult PS2 owners who haven't yet played 'Code Veronica'". Review by J.M. Vargas with screen shots.
