Game Informer Review
The close of a trilogy is a touchy thing. Miramax's slasher pic Scream 3 highlighted the role of each part: Chapter one sets the rules. Chapter two bends the rules. And chapter three throws them all out the window in favor of taking the story full circle.
Which brings us to the third part of the Onimusha trilogy, subtly titled Demon Siege. In the first of many switches from the franchise's usual MO, there are three playable characters – Jean Reno's Jaques, the first Onimusha's Samanosuke, and Parisian military woman Michelle. Each offers wildly different play mechanics, and this coupled with the game's time warp storyline (more on that later) offers needed variety to a survival horror franchise that was never really know for its fear factor.
Each character will upgrade their weapons and skills through the course of the game (much less so for Michelle, as she's playable for far less of the game than the other two) in the usual fashion – collecting souls. Without a combo-laden combat system, Demon Siege relies heavily on timing and strategy to master each of the three warriors. This mechanic is very reminiscent of Enter the Matrix for two reasons: minimal button presses result in onscreen action that looks very, very cool. Two, the timing of action is far more crucial than combos. The difference is that Demon Siege is just a much better game – the enemies offer more variety, the control is more precise, and the elemental weaponry is extremely varied.
While some action hardcores will likely fault the game for its simple control scheme, most will appreciate it for the satisfaction it brings to the screen. Kicking a demon away so you have better range with the Ball and Chain of Doom (my name for it, not the game's) is quite cool, after all. Just keep in mind that plot and combat play equal roles in the Onimusha universe, and each are doled out fairly.
On the story side of things, Demon Siege has that dual time period hook. How well is the idea executed? Well, Paris really looks like Paris; and without being able to experience feudal Japan firsthand, all I can say is that it looks beautiful in the game. The plot unfolds at a lightning pace and requires players to use one character (in one time period) to do something, which has an effect on the other character (in the other time period). Switching frequently, the game's pace is so well crafted that there are few places that seem to be a pause – you'll always want to do that next thing.
What I really like about this game is that I always felt like I was getting a new weapon, going to a new area, or fighting a new boss (most of which are ferociously tough, by the way). There was no drag for me. That, and kicking Genma butt made me look badass. Personally, I wouldn't want anything else for my favorite samurai/horror sendoff.
Concept:
Craft a compelling, edge-of-your seat action game to conclude the Onimusha series
Graphics:
3D backgrounds don't mean that players have camera control, but it does mean that everything looks really grea
Sound:
The score alternates between totally inspired and super cheesy – but it does fit the game
Playability:
Timing is the key to success and I rarely felt robbed, so it did what it was supposed to
Entertainment:
Demon Siege is one of the most cinematic games to date, and I soaked up every second gratefully

2nd Opinion:
The final chapter of the Onimusha trilogy radiates excitement and is the very definition of epic. The opening CG cinematic is so detailed and explosive that I wouldn't be surprised if George Lucas started handing out pink slips to the ILM crew. I know this clip is only a few minutes in length, but it is worth the price of admission alone. Further justifying that you absolutely need to add this title to your library, the gameplay is equally exquisite and is brimming with non-stop intensity. The methods with which you dispose of your assailants remain simplistic and true to the series. Plus, the battles are much larger in scope, the pacing of levels is relentless, and the visuals that you breathe in are all the more majestic. This truly is game development at its finest. While I would have liked to see more interaction in the environments, and depth in the combat, I really couldn't ask for a better conclusion to one of the PlayStation 2's finest series.

This game....BEATS THEM ALL!! (ignore what other people say)
This games story is about a Japanese soldier names Samanouske, has a war against the genma (like monsters) and their leader, Nobunaga. Nobunaga was revived as a demon. I just beat Onimusha 3 today and i loved the ending. Jacques Blanc, a French military guy, accidently goes back in time to Samanouske's time (1582) and Samanouske goes to Jacques time (2004). Play the game to find out the rest.
Educational: This is actually educational because u can learn Freanch and u learn english as well.
Play and everything else: One word. EXCELLENT!
Onimusha Rules!!!!
What a superb game..... This is the 2nd Oni series I played after having finished Onimusha 2.. And I quickly bought Onimusha 1 Warlords... Oni 3 is by far best game and I really enjoyed it so much. The fireflies in the game that let jacques reach from places to places.. Time travel with Ako being the little guardian angel from the ancient Fuedal Japan time to the modern Paris 2004 is just so exciting and so much fun to play... Sucking souls from live gemna with Ako's green vest... White vest to restore health... and so much more goodies in the game...Simply fantastic!!! Will play again and again...If the rumours are true...Hope to catch ONIMUSHA on the big SCREEN....It must be transform into a blockbuster movie!!!
The Best in the Series!!!!!
First off, I see a lot of people here at Amazon, cutting down on this game and giving it bad reviews, In response, I'd like to say that I think individuals who do not like this game and compare it to dozens of others just to show how many games they have played are simply saying that they, in fact, have no life and spend way too much time in front of the TV.
Though the Onimusha series has a reputation of being a game that is easy for any player (from Novice to Expert) to be able to pick up, play, and enjoy, this is the most challenging game in the series. The enemies are tougher and slightly more numerous than before.
The game played has evolved once again, and now instead of automatically changing into the Onimusha after collecting 5 purple souls, you have the choice of changing when you desire by pressing the R3 button after souls are collected, or if you die while having 5 purple souls, you will be revived automatically as the Onimusha. Definite bonus!
Though, the major movie is at the beginning, the game-play itself is nice. (by nice I mean, I love it) It's in the same fashion as previous Onimusha games (beat-up bad guys, solve puzzles, fight bosses).
A bunch of you are complaining that you can't get Samanosuke to run on walls like he did in the opening movie and what I'd like to say is... Come on guys, it was a movie, of course the game play will be a bit different. Also, I would be disappointed if the style and format of the game was too different from the original two games. There's a reason why this game has so much success. The gameplay works almost flawlessly.
Finally, this is a much more adventurous game than the previous two. In the first game, Samanosuke stays around the same Japanese temple the entire time. By the next game, Jubei visits the same temple, but journeys to more of the surrounding towns. This time around both Samanosuke and Jacques Blanc (from France 2004) cover more ground of both Japan and France in both the past and future, thus leading to more a journey for those who like that kinda thing.
I love this game. I think most people will who aren't so fickle and picky over anything. If you don't like the game that's cool too, but if you're going to gripe about how bad you think it is well, then...... Let's see what games YOU'VE made, and then your arguments might have some credibility and even be taken seriously.
Great Game!!!
