??? English uncut

Now everything is "English" (or American) automatically Uncut? In the case of the "Muramasa" you have to say that jedenalls a bathing scene for the US version probably was cut. At the very least, the messages accumulate it, but above it is supposed to go here now not.

With the games of goods Vanilla is always a bit tricky. Envy one must recognize these games that they from the appearance, the music and the atmosphere are quite regarded as artwork. However, that can not always save a gameplay, which consists of tons of reps.

For my part I've seen enough something in the Games of Vanilla. Sure, it's still nice, but exactly had the same style the. Already on the SEGA Saturn and PS2 It must of course not always be 3D and new, faster or better, but what would you say about Super Mario when this would still scurry in 8-bit on the screens? Whether there is sufficient time everything in the Japanese "ancient" to dive I let time standing in the room. Of course, the title knows by his appearance to convince, but "Do you know a title, you know all" - as the saying goes.

That's our cue, because the gameplay here is there anyway only what one already knows, for example, from Odin Sphere or Princess Crown. Some elements have been revised marginally, so there are, for example, marked out areas for the fighting and no longer all the Level section. Also you can change his weapon at any time and there are more opportunities for attack. Generally, however, everything remains the same. Even headless, great food, so the almost morbid intake of foods to enhance certain attributes will be available.

As in the previous titles you can visit the same places also very common, what really even like create a saturation of graphic splendor. Of course you can only say again that everything looks very pretty, but if you stroll the fifth or sixth time by the same forest you can see this also in a different way than at the beginning.

As a small compensation there seem to the two different story lines, which is reacted with the two figures - must see - Kisuke and Momohime. So many a scene is suddenly lit very differently and also one or the other location gets a new meaning, which does not alter the fact that the changes Deja vu remain available.

Control technology one would have something more Wii-feeling may want, because everything is based more or less just on a button and the analog stick. In general, the control but is well solved, and certainly better than headless, quite elaborated motion control. The individual movements go through the simple button assignment so quickly from his hand and is quite appropriate in the partially overloaded struggles also.

Unfortunately, the over 100 swords in the game do not differ from each other, which is why the control itself does not change in principle. One can now find good or bad, but here simply suggests once again the ubiquitous repetition. Only special attacks differ, which is why you should ask yourself whether you really want to collect all the swords. One also learns no new moves by fighting, which is also a pity.

Graphically one can, as already mentioned, nothing to complain. The sound blends seamlessly into the very good presentation with a. Japanese applicants accompany not only in the BGM, but also in the voice, because the US version has a Japanese language track.

The Japanophile Adventure may like it, but as I mentioned at the beginning for me it is not so the huge WOW factor because it is nunmal therefore like any other vanilla game also. The marginal differences in gameplay can convince, but to future gameplay should much be filed. Too many repetitions and somewhat monotonous fights really have not to this extent. Therefore, I forgive only three star, precisely because of the wow factor is missing. Otherwise, I would let me struggle through four.

Fans of Hack'n'Slay, 2D titles and also those that "Hey Japan soooooo great" still in the pre- or late pubertal phase be stuck here have their joy. Those who want something more sophisticated gameplay and more depth looks more into the tube. But you have to make it clear that the title is unique to Wii!
