If I can sum this game up in 3 words, they would be: beautiful breathtaking action. For those of you who don't know, Vanillaware, the creators of this game, are a Japanese developer that became famous in the US after their game Odin Sphere came out. That game was an RPG which was heavily based off of Norse mythology. Their newest game, Muramasa, is a hack-n-slash with the same beautiful graphics and mythology-based story as Odin Sphere (albeit involving Japanese mythology instead of Norse). You play as either Kisuke, a ninja, or Momohime, a princess. Each character has 3 katanas, or Japanese swords. (There are 108 in all to collect, or so I hear.) Combat in this game is flawless. The graphics are some of the best 2D graphics I've ever seen, and I've played Guilty Gear and Blazblue. Gameplay is easy, so long as you use the Gamecube controller or Classic Controller instead of the Wii-mote. This game's rated T mostly because of the suggestive references, mainly a boss character with big breasts. However, if your kid's a fan of anime, they've probably seen characters like that. Also, one way to regain health in this game is by drinking sake, amazake, and umeshu, among other Japanese spirits. Finally, the violence is about the level of an E10-rated game. Just basic hacking and slashing, nothing too serious. Overall, this is a really good game, and any Wii owner who has a taste for the offbeat should definitely give Muramasa at least a rental.
