#WAY OF THE SAMURAI 1 REVIEW PS3#

On the topic of fighting, there are eighty plus fighting styles in the game that you can learn.

Speak with the locals threaten the locals kill the locals… While you can’t kill EVERYONE like you could in the previous entry, it’s pretty close based on your skill. Shortly after the introduction to fighting, you are given free reign. From the very opening you are given the choice of siding with two factions, or not bothering with either. You’re a samurai wandering the countryside, and you are offered options of what you’d like to pursue storywise. That aside, what you’ll find is more of what the previous games offered. A game can be the most beautiful piece of art ever made, but hold it up against something addictively fun, and see which is picked by the masses and played longer. But as a long line of people will tell you: graphics don’t make a game fun.

#WAY OF THE SAMURAI 1 REVIEW PS3#

While the game was originally made for the PS3 and released in 2011, even by last generation standards, it’s not a very pretty game. Let’s just get this out there right now – the game isn’t that good looking. All I know is that I played the series by chance in 2002, and have since been happy to find a new one come out, despite such little fanfare – and get localized, no less! Perhaps it is the fact that I adore Japanese culture, or maybe the fact that it’s more open-world than most other games are despite their claims. Way of the Samurai has been a series I’ve always enjoyed, despite never really doing well on a critical level.
