Now in an earlier cut scene, Samanosuke is given a magical gauntlet by the last group of mystic ogres.

In reference to the "upgrades" this game has over the PS2 version: during the game as you defeat enemies, various magical orbs float away from the recently deceased. This is a time tested and effective way of dealing with the numerous times your character will be surrounded by monsters. The controls can seem a bit clunky to those who aren't familiar with the Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark series' and the fact that it appears that Samanosuke turns too slowly will find that if you get into the habit of pressing the attack button vigorously, Samanosuke or Kaede will quickly turn and attack whatever monster is nearest to them. The same is said for the turning and other movements the characters can perform. Pushing up on the d-pad will always move the character forward regardless of what direction he is facing. Each time you enter a new room the view is changed to some sort of wacky camera angle with the only consistency being the controls. Samanosuke and his ninja partner Kaede (the character you'll play during various parts of the game) are viewed in a fixed 3/4 view camera view. I liken the game to Resident Evil but only in presence, as the whole game clearly has a more styled approach in its locations and visuals. Being an action game, Genma Onimusha also has clever puzzles and traps to figure out. Part of this plot involves the human General Nobunaga Oda who has apparently entered into a truce with the demons. In Genma Onimusha, the whole point of the game is to not only rescue Princess Yuki, but to defeat the insidious plot that is currently being hatched by the demon horde.
The game does open up an easier mode if you die too many times in a short amount of time, but the level of difficulty only appears to barely scale down. Now, I'm sure with enough patience and practice you would eventually become proficient enough with the games fighting that you could beat the game, but expect a whole lot of dying on your part to occur. So that in itself makes the game a double edged sword. So here is my point, in order to experience some sort of initial success, you must have some experience playing the game. Not to put down Rob for his obvious inability to do battle with the undead, but again, I have played and beaten this game when it was on the PS2. So what happened when I first tried fighting the first bad guys? I turned them both into bloody giblets with out hardly breaking a sweat. I mean, if you get whipped quite handily by the very first enemy you encounter one of two things has occurred: 1) you are either very bad at videogames, (which is not the case with Rob), or 2) the games difficulty has been jacked up through the roof, which is exactly what has happened. Now, fellow reviewer Rob Madison (who never played the PS2 version) had this very thing happen to him and was fairly surprised. I mean tough as in the first time you even draw your sword to fight the very first bad guys you encounter, you will probably get your ass kicked. And I don't mean tough in the sense that the puzzles are too complicated or the bosses are impossible to beat. So let me start off by saying that this game is tough. So, while the old adage "If it isn't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind, gamers who purchased the Xbox were promised a version of the game that had increased gameplay, new features, and all sorts of other goodies, including a game that was dramatically more difficult then it's PS2 cousin. I beat the original PS2 game Onimusha: Warlords, and while the game itself wasn't terribly long or difficult, the game was done exceptionally well on all fronts. Genma Onimusha is not much more then a port from the very impressive PS2 game Onimusha: Warlords.
