You'll also be able to switch between four warriors on the fly, each with their own upgradeable combos and special abilities. Acrobatic swordsman Yoshitsune returns from the first game with a new complement of Prince of Persia-style moves, and he's got his hulking, giant-pillar-swinging retainer Benkei in tow.
Mikel Reparaz · Jun 24, 2012 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewGenji: Days of the Blade is a solid hack 'n' slash adventure let down by poor level design and a bad camera system. Fans of the previous game will no doubt find some enjoyment in the often stunning presentation, but action game fans on the whole will find the whole experience far too frustrating. There are far better PlayStation 3 games to spend your money on.

Game Trailers · Nov 22, 2006 Reviewed on PS3Genji: Days of the Blade is an example of this effect because this really is an average, forgettable game that's only interesting because there aren't many other PS3 games to choose from yet. It's worth checking out if only as evidence of what Sony's new system can do from a graphical perspective; however, its 10-or-so hours of repetitive combat shouldn't be the tipping point for anyone who wants to justify getting a PS3.
Greg Kasavin · Nov 08, 2006 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewWhile gorgeous, Days of the Blade hardly lets gamers play beyond, as it were. The additional characters and weapons certainly help, as does the flexible combat system. The game also offers amazing vistas and epic boss fights. Regardless of how someone dresses a corpse, though, it's still a corpse.
Juan Castro · Nov 07, 2006 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewThe saddest thing, though, isn't that. It's not even the camera. It's that, as a game, Genji on PS3 is going to be remembered for a long time, by people who will never play it, because it features a historically accurate giant enemy crab, while those who do play it will soon forget that it's a competent, beautiful-looking, but terribly flawed action game.
Rob Fahey · Nov 30, 2006 Reviewed on PS3Read full reviewAyant tâté de la version preview, j'attendais peu de Days Of Blade mais force et de constater que plus on joue et plus on se rend compte à quel point la jouabilité du titre est désespérante de maladresses. On a beau nous vendre un second épisode bénéficiant de davantage de personnages jouables et de formes plus généreuses, ceci ne masque en rien un gameplay perclus de tares qui nous fait dire que les problèmes de caméra ont encore de beaux jours devant eux.

About the game
Expanding on the gorgeous PS2 action title, this next-gen follow-up continues the mystical tales of ancient Japan by game designer Yoshiki Okamoto's Game Republic studio. Set three years after the last chapter of Genkuro Yoshitsune's life, the game continues to expand on the historical accounts of feudal Japan. The game delived more than double the amount of gameplay, more diverse levels of fighting, and more playable characters -- all underlying an epic tale of a warrior's honor.
