First off, if you find one of the three magical spheres that are hidden throughout the game, Samanosuke will automatically fuse the sphere to his gauntlet. These spheres each have an elemental type magic connected to them; blue for lightning, red for fire, and green for wind.

When these orbs are activated, Samanosuke's swords blaze with magic and obviously his attacks become much more powerful. With regard to the monsters, there are several different types of demons; the standard zombie samurai, an undead shogun, short-horned demons, giant bull-headed demons and strange energy-sapping entities that look like floating brain matter.

There are several other monsters and demons in the game including some really incredible boss monsters. This is a true rogue's gallery complete with an arch-enemy element. Other "upgrades" to this version also include the introduction of a strange marionette-type ghost and new items like the life talisman, which automatically kicks in if you happen to be on the receiving end of a fatal blow.

Others changes include the new armor and outfits you can put Samanosuke in provided you achieve certain goals. All in all, I honestly feel that I didn't need to play this game again since I had played the earlier version and realized that while the changes were numerous, they weren't enough to justify playing this second iteration of the game.

The graphics have been fine-tuned in order to take advantage of the Xbox's increased power, with incredibly bright light sourcing and shadowing effects along with accurately detailed locations. The lion's share of the game takes place in a 14th century Japanese keep and its surrounding area. Being a fan of Japanese culture, I was really impressed with the little details that the designers added to give the game weight. Samanosuke, Kaede and the other humans look remarkably lifelike and move as gracefully as you would expect proficient swordsmen to.

As I stated above, there is a real cabal of monsters and I feel they were designed and executed beautifully. Look carefully for the results of non-fatal strikes. Smacking a zombie samurai usually knocks his hat off exposing a decayed skull. Really cool looking monsters are always a bonus in my book and this game has tons. Japanese dialogue, the swoosh of a blade slicing through the air'the audio was exemplary.

There is a demon doctor that makes a couple of appearances in the game, and I couldn't help but think his voice didn't quite fit what he looked like.

Trust me, you will know what I'm talking about when you first here it. I would have rather liked a more hissing voice since he reminded me of a serpent anyway. The accompanying music was dialed in quite well and had an epic feel to it.

Xbox owners take heed: this game is tough, especially if you have not played the PS2 version. If you have, my recommendation is to take a pass, as the changes in the game aren't worth the expense.

If you have not, then the challenge is in front of you, and what a challenge it is. Resident Evil in ancient Japan: That's a pretty good primer for Onimusha, in case you missed the original PS2 version released just one year ago. OnPs lighter on the puzzles and heavier on the combat than RE, but wandering room to room, cleaving down undead evil creatures will definitely feel familiar. The story was silly then, and it's still silly now, but what I enjoyed about Onimusha was the combat: You can dart quickly in any direction and suck the souls left by fallen enemies to power up a nice array of different weapons including three blades, a bow and a gun.

So you'd think this new, improved version with added outfits, areas, enemies and a harder difficulty level would be even better, right? Genma's tougher and more numerous bad guys do lengthen the game a bit, but they also highlight the flaws in the already weak controls. With no lock-on system you attack whatever is closest and a "left or right to turn, forward to mqve" scheme like RE , things get confusing and frustrating when you are surrounded, which is now much more often.

Plus, you can't use the analog stick, and must constantly hold in the Xbox controller's very resistant L and R buttons to strafe and block --it's an ergonomic nightmare. The graphics still look sharp, and striking down ninjas and horned demons holds enough thrills to make Genma a worthy rental for rookies, but if you already had your way with the PS2 version, don't bother. It's the perfect mix of Devil May Cry and Resident Evil--not as repetitive as the former and less sluggish than the latter.

Genma is the kind of game you don't want to put down once you start playing. The constant action and comfortable pacing just make you want to block out the world and finish it in one sitting.

As in RE, however, the prerendered backgrounds force you into some cramped camera angles; an axe-wielding demon's ass in your face is a bitch. Genma's not easy but well worth the day you'll spend on it. This is my first time playing through Onimusha, so this review is for those of you who missed the PS2 version.

You'll love this game if you dig all the ingredients that make up a typical Resident Evil: static backgrounds, finding items and clues in the,environments, constantly switching camera angles, and those RC-car controls which a lot of people hate but work really well here. Genma's feudal-japan setting meshes with the genre perfectly. If the game weren't such a sadist--you're gonna have to be tough and persistent to make it through this one-and if it weren't so short about half the length of an average RE , I'd say it's a must-buy for any gamer.
