Genji: Days of the Blade not massively damaged
We find the butt of E3's jokes gets the last laugh
Sep 25, 2006
If you're lucky enough to get a PS3 on launch day and you've got a burning hack-and-slash itch, Genji: Days of the Blade might look like a pretty good way to scratch it. It's stylish and pretty, and its Onimusha-style samurai-on-demon action is fast and visceral. But while its dazzling visuals and animation are a decent showcase for what the PS3 can do, don't be fooled - scratch the surface, and there's very little here that qualifies as next-gen. Set in ancient Japan during the legendary ...

No matter how hard it tries, Genji: Days of the Blade will never, ever shake the stigma of its giant enemy crabs. One of the beasts was revealed during the E3 expo in May, and ever since, Genji has been the stuff of thousands of internet in-jokes. But behind those humongous crustaceans lurks a fast-paced, hauntingly pretty samurai epic that's finally looking ready for prime time. While we haven't been too impressed with it in the past, Genji has rapidly shaped up since the last time we saw it. ...   » Read Full Genji: Days of the Blade preview

There's more to this samurai slash-'em-up than giant enemy crabs, but not much
Sep 5, 2006
It's no secret that the upcoming samurai epic Genji: Days of the Blade (aka Genji 2) has a tough road ahead of it. Its awkward debut at Sony's pre-E3 press conference has become the stuff of Internet legend, thanks to the phrase "actual historical battles" being followed almost immediately by "giant enemy crab." And while it's certainly beautiful, its gameplay doesn't seem all that removed from the PS2 Genji: Dawn of the Samurai. Granted, there's a lot of it we haven't yet seen. We haven't, ...   » Read Full Genji: Days of the Blade preview

• Genji 2 gameplay footage (WMV, 10.7MB) - right-click to download Tuesday 9 May 2006 One of the playable offerings at Sony's pre-E3 conference was samurai slasher sequel, Genji 2, and we took a few moments to really get to grips with it. You can take a look at the game in action at the conference by clicking the link above. Set three years after the original PS2 version and billed as a "traditional" action/adventure by Sony, this follow-up boasts the chance to switch between characters ...   » Read Full Genji: Days of the Blade preview

PS3: Slash your way through feudal Japan - beautifully
May 11, 2006
The original Genji for PS2 was a beautiful and engaging - if short - samurai action game. The PS3 title looks like more of the same. The big difference is that the visuals are amped-up considerably for the series' PS3 debut. Check out our trailer, linked from the "movies" tab above, to see for yourself. The fine level of detail really brings the world of Genji to life. The level begins with a burning castle, with fire all around and heat warping your view. Every so often when you play, the ...   » Read Full Genji: Days of the Blade preview
