Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Genji is a beautifully cinematic, sword-wielding Samurai adventure based on the popular Japanese legend of the same name. Acting as the historic hero Genkuro Yoshitsune or his trusted companion Benkei, the warrior monk, you set out on a mission to release the oppressed from the evil forces of the warlord Kiyomori and restore the Genji dynasty to power.

Taking its visual cue from movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and House of Flying Daggers, Genji has a beautifully crafted aesthetic. Battle commences in lush Autumnal forests, grand, eastern palaces and blood soaked feudal battlegrounds, with an incredible attention to detail that really brings the legend to life.

As you would expect from the grand-daddy of Street Fighter, Genji plays as good as it looks. Execute slick and deadly manoeuvres, motion captured from a Samurai Swordmaster. Rain down combos, super-moves, parries and more onto your opponents; special features such as the 'Mind's Eye' slow time around you, allowing you to anticipate the enemies' movements with lightning precision and unleash balletic finishing moves.

A unique artificial intelligence, developed in conjunction with top Japanese fight director, Mitsuhiko Seike, constantly controls the action transforming each battle sequence into carefully choreographed kung-fu combat

4.0 out of 5 stars Innovative & Original Sony Production, 7 May 2006
By Mr. B. Pollard "shadowcrab" (Durham, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
Set in the golden age of feudal Japan, and actually retaining the original Japanese dialects used in the games creation (instead of cheesy American voice-overs for instance) this game, whilst short lived, marks high on the gameplay stakes; especially in mass battle scenes which are beautifully choreographed if you can combine the right combos.

The real time rendering of the game, the attention to graphical detail in the background, is quite breathtaking for a PS2 game.

The best feature of course is the Matrix-esque time manipulation feature. Where you can slow down time to anticipate an enemies movement and perform combos.

Finally, if you're into surround sound, the Dolby 5.1 / Pro Logic sound options will more than satisfy your needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, historical and best game this year in my view, 1 Jan 2006
By praying_mantis (United kingdom) - See all my reviews
Genji is the best ‘RPG’ flashy cut-'em-up action adventure game out this year. Genji is a historic samurai adventure set in feudal Japan which makes the game even better. The gameplay is similar to Devil may cry and special to Onimusha. If you are a fan of DMC and Onimusha you defiantly will like Genji. The graphics, art design and sound in Genji are excellent. The characters and environments have a specifically Japanese feel to them, with elaborately dressed characters, ornate environments, and mystical otherworlds. The world is filled with great-looking scenery, including shimmering koi ponds, crumbling ruins, misty waterfalls, and forest paths lined with all kinds of vividly colored vegetation, when I play the game at least for an hour I just observe the scenery because it’s brilliant. The characters are fairly detailed, as well. In all the game is worthy to buy and to be kept forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Amazing game you will ever buy, 24 Dec 2005
By Phantom "game and anime fan" (Rhyl, Denbighshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is by far the best game I have bought in a long time and saying a lot because I onlt just bought NBA Live06 and Battlefield 2:Modern Combat both good games in there own right.
When I put this game in to my PS2 for the first time. I was thinkin will it just be another Onimusha game. But as I was thinkin about it the intro came on and it was a beautiful site the intro had graphics just like a movie would of had. At first I was thrown back at the amount of time and effort that must of been put in too make such a game intro. Now we get to the game itself, the controls are easy to play with but take a long time to master. You can just run in and keep hitting the square button and hack and slash or learn the diffrent moves that will make some of the other enemies run and hide in fear. The game play graphics are nothing to laugh at either. When you pick up that controller and begin to play the game you begin to feel like you are part of it and because of this I have not been able to put it down but only to write this review. So I say if you want to buy a game that you could play over and over again then buy this or you will be sorry. And if there are some of you who want to be diffrent and say that this is a rubbish game then you do not know what you are playing and should have a think about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome hack and slash swordsman adventure
This is an excellent production, probably the best of the hack and slash games and the equal of the Onimushi games with which it shares some common themes and style... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Great game so why only three stars.
