ONIMUSHA DAWN OF DREAMS (PLAYSTATION 2 PS2)

The Onimusha series continues two decades after Samanosuke's downfall of Nobunaga. Hideyoshi Toyotomi is now the head of a united Japan. He resurrects the Genma and a new hero named Soki rises to the challenge. The game is told through various CGI cutscenes and has seventeen stages. Besides Soki, several characters can be played (five in total), all with their different fighting style. Soki uses swords, Jubei uses blades, and Ohatsu uses projectiles. The gameplay is faster than its predecessors. It is now possible to lock on enemies instead of mashing buttons like in the original games. Cooperative puzzles have also been added. In addition, a 360 degree camera is now available.
