way of the samurai 3
at first, i wasn't so sure about the game. but as you play it more and more, the better it gets. it has a certain charm about it that makes you want to play it multiple times, especially when there is like twenty endings. graphic wise, it looks dated but if you can get over this then there is plenty of fun to be had in this game.

Great title
Order and received it a while ago and I can easily say it the best samurai orientated game I've played. Buy it if your even a mild enthusiast of decent sword play and world-sim mechanics.

A worthy third installment
Having been a fan of way of the samurai and played the first two games in this series, I have to say they have done an excellent job of this one.The game is very open ended and allows you to either fight or grovel your way through the game and generally mould your character into a hero or a villain.Combat feels slick but can be quite spontaneous and sudden, for example, if you accidentally bump into a thug or some other proud warrior on the street you will barely have time to draw your sword before it all kicks off. Depending on how you act will alter the games townsfolk and clans perception of you and you may be attacked out of the blue if you rub a certain faction up the wrong way.A welcome returning feature is the push/pull system that was in the first game which allows you, with skill, to put your opponent off balance and maybe give you the 'glimpse of death' action which allows you to instantly kill your opponent.With lots of areas to explore, lots of new weapons and stances to find and even creation of your own weapons, I think this game will keep me going for a long time especially with the replayability factor of the game.My only gripe is that the text size is ridiculously small and difficult to read at times, but then again I need to get a bigger and better TV, Also Sony don't seem keen to promote this on the Playstation Network (edit, there is now free downloadable content available for this including a cardboard suit of armour and a paper sword amongst other things).Many thanks to GAMEBRIDGE for bringing this game to Europe, and Aquire/Spike for making an excellent game.

A great game that not many will get to play
I'm a little shocked there's not that many reviews for this game, then again it don't seem to be very popular I hardly ever see this game in game stores.- The game -Way of the samurai 3 is a great game if you like sword fighting and using different swords and fighting styles, for example there's Ninja weapons you can use and dual swords, you can even make your own swords by buying the parts or finding them.There's not a real story to this game you make your own up as you play, then based on the choices you made in the game will result in that ending, there's something like 22 different endings I think.You can have partners that can be funny and help you out,customising your character can be hilarious with all the strange clothes and accessories you buy or unlock, or even download.-The best bits -Entering instant kill mode and trying to get 100 kills without messing up is really fun.I found getting the platinum trophy for this game easy really, if you're after them.Doing the mini games, making new weapons and choosing the fighting moves.-Bad stuff-The graphics are not the best but it makes up for this with the fighting.After completing all the story's and getting weapons and messing about, your left with wanting more but there's nothing more, there's no online play which would have been new and interesting, just imagine a samurai team death match it would be over in like 60 seconds lol.When you talk to people outside of the story mode, you have to read all the dialogue there's no talking.1 person said in a review that this game is bad because they don't have a tutorial, the truth is they don't they just throw you right into the action, it helps if you've played the other 2 games to get an idea of how it all works but it has changed a lot even from the old versions.
