Genji: Days of the Blade (PS3)

While not being overly good in any respect, Genji is simultaneously not overly bad in any area either, but the whole thing is still a little unsatisfying.It plays just like it's predecessor, but with the 'Kamui' mode changed and, in my opinion, made a lot worse. It's a straightforward fighting game with minor exploration elements to it and some decent ideas such as instant switching between characters and weapons on the fly, something all games of this type should offer in future I believe. It's fun, but not overly so, and one of the characters(Shizuka) is actually rather annoying to play as.The visuals betray this game's origins as a PS2 game upscaled to PS3 standard, with a fixed camera you can't change(Did Onimusha Dawn of Dreams teach us nothing?) and some rather uninspired visual detail mixed in with some very pleasing visual effects in places. It looks okay, but not great by any means. Though I will give it that it runs incredibly quickly and smoothly, even with huge numbers of enemies on screen.A very average game that plays way too much like it's predecessor but somehow isn't as much fun. It's worth a look of you can get it on the cheap, but at full price? Avoid.

Most people who gave negative reviews for this game is due to not understanding, giving up on the game for being too hard or never accomplished to finish.This game will make you fall a lot of times and loose, but the game is excellent, the characters each have their own potential and it's all customizable.It's not a hard game but reaching the finish line is near to hard.Finally, the cut-scenes are beautiful and probably the best thing that the game has to offer.The graphics are also excellent, the background and trees/leafs/grass these are some things other producers of games could not do while this was released in 2007 and used PS3's graphic at best.I didn't find the opponents too repetitive like others said, because they changed in every new part of the chapters.G:DoftB is an excellent game, please try to finish before reviewing.

Uch its a nice classic starter game. For the launch of the PS3 you could do worse and the gameplay is a lot of fun.Great visual style too very unique.

Just to make things clear, I don't have any problem with Sony or the PS3. I absolutely love my PS3. What i'm trying to say is that I don't have any grudge against this game or Sony! And you know what? I'm not even a very demanding gamer. I mean I enjoyed Haze, how about that? So here goes. Genji: Days of the Blade is truly the worst game I have ever played. After giving it yet another chance I have come to the conclusion that this truly is the worst game I have in my whole gaming collection! I always try to finish every game I buy, no matter how awful it may be but this game has finally beaten me. There is not one redeeming factor in the whole thing. Sure it has pretty graphics but in 2010, with Uncharted and Metal Gear Solid 4 they don't even impress that much anymore. Other than the graphics every single thing in the game game fails in a way you really ask yourself: How is this even possible?The camera is, again, the worst I have ever seen in a video game. Its so bad you don't even see the enemies most of the time! I mean how can you fight a boss when the camera doesn't even let you see it? You have to use a mini-map to find the enemies! I swear to God i'm not joking! And then, wait for it... you actually have platforming sections where you cant even see where to jump to! Seriously! You fight only five or six types of enemies the whole game! Its waves after waves of fighting the same enemies, using the same methods, over and over again! You have four characters but other than one that is ok and which you'll use for most of the time, the other three are useless! They're either too slow, too weak or too bland to even care! In fact the whole game is bland! The music is sickening, the story is almost non existent and most of the missions you don't even know what to do or where to go, because its all hallways that look the same! You'll be stuck, trying to find where to go, after you defeated all the enemies, going around feeling stupid, until you give up and find an online guide! There is not one redeemable thing about this mess! The checkpoints are long, you cant save the game sometimes for 45 minutes or more, if you die you go back to the beginning of the level! I truly hate this game and I beg you, even if you see it cheap and think, as I did: Well it cant be that bad, right?Oh yeah, it really is that bad! Stay away!EDIT: I did finish the game! It did not beat me! But oh God!!! Really, stay away, far, far away!

Camera camera camera... After loving the original PS2 GENJI, I was enthused when I saw and bought this, it's sequel. The beautiful locations of the original (though without Skyworld :-( ), the music, and the combat system is largely carried over and even let's you play as some cooler characters from the prequel however, this game is much, much less fun to play. The CAMERA RUINS the gameplay experience. Combat is hugely frustrating, having to rely on the mini-map to see where enemies are off-screen and I found myself just using rush/dash attacks in their general area to take enemies I couldn't see down. I had high hopes for this since Onimusha never made it to 3rd Gen. I was disappointed.

I bought this game thinking it to be similar to the dynasty warriors series, it is just not in terms of camera angles meaning you can only see attacking npcs when they're practically on top of you.Overall this game had alot of potential still does if they make a follow up just change the camera setup Coz its annoying.

Compared to the PS2 game - brillant action packed story line and game play with quirky controls. Awesome cut scenes!

Game is good and graphics are superb.Haven't finished playing it yet but so far so good.
