It's fitting that Muramasa was released on the Nintendo Wii. It's a "style over substance" game that is not likely to hold your attention for more than a few days. In other words, it'll fit right in with the rest of the system's library. To be fair, it's a few notches above your typical Wii Lumberjack-style game. The action is fast and amusing, the artistic design is fantastic, and there are occasional difficulties that may even exhilarate (there are challenge battles scattered around the game world. Try them ten clicks below the recommended level and you're in for a treat). The game mechanics, however, have "casual" written all over them. Muramasa is ultimately the sort of fleetingly enjoyable title that entertains for a few hours every six months before going back on the shelf.

Verdict: A pretty sweet rental.

That's very surprising, since RPGFan is not exactly a tough website, I was expecting more than 80% for this game. What do you think?

... WHAT?! Say it aint so, say it aint so. This was one of the big games I've been looking forward to for a long time. Didn't the Odin Sphere team make this? Where did it go wrong?

They did the same thing to WKC. They totally massacred that game.

yea i really dont no why they bashed WKC b/c from wat ive seen from the gameplay footage, so far it looks impressive

They massacred (it wasn't a massacre, the score was a bit higher than this, don't remember the exact score) it for the (according to them) atrocious story and the not-so-good multiplayer. The latter is seemingly getting fixed, the former, though....

According to them, the story was generic, the gameplay was flawed, and the sound was nothing special.  I'm still holding my breath for that game though.

The reviewer clearly doesn't like Wii games. It's a completely biased review. However, even he admitted the game is good for a short time - which means rental.

The reviewer said Wii games are style over substance. I just ignored everything after that.

This about works.

Incidentally RPGFan is about the worst resource on the internet for RPG reviews. Go figure.

That review was completely and unabashedly biased--"Oh, yeah, it's better than most lumberjack casual crap Wii games... oh, and I forgot to mention that Wii games have no substance!!"
