lol thats what I spend money on these days, food.

Muramasa was awesome! You will enjoy it very much so. earning all 108 blades and getting all 6 endings will run you 30-35 hours or so.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade can be summed up by the word "beautiful". Everything in the game just exudes beauty, from the visuals (my little sister was watching me play Super Mario Galaxy 2 and said to me, "this is the second best game I've ever seen, behind that Japanese sword game." ) to the combat (I lust love the elegance that Momhime and Kisuke fight with.)

Also, those fox women are... foxy.

Sadly I agree with this. I wanted to love the game but gameplay is just not up to snuff. It does look beautiful, especially in 3D vision..heh heh

If it's anything like Odin Sphere, I want it.

I heard the game had too much backtracking, and the combat got repetitive.
However, its aesthetic may cause many people to forgive those flaws. Hmm, I might have to get this one day, but $25 is a lot to pass up in my situation.

Well Faxanadu, 300,000 other people enjoyed a little bit too.

I found Muramasa was hyped a little too much in some quarters, but it is simply beautiful and I found it to be a very nice change of pace. I will have to go back and play it some more one of these days.

I agree that the fighting is repetitive. However, it is really enjoyabl and I rather see it in terms of a beat em up, where gighting often is repetitive as well. Actually, going with JRPGs I would say that fighting is no more repetitive and much more enjoyable.

Backtracking I did not have to do too much as of now, but then I am only 5 hours in. I enjoy the environments and the fun bosses. And meeting the guy in the wells sometimes.

I approuve this thread. And the soundtrack is just a dream.

Its a fun game.
