- Armchair Empire - "Onimusha is one of the games that you just cant pass up for the PS2 this year. Even thought it hasnt redefined a genre or discovered a profound meaning to life, you still get to save the Princess and wave a shiny pointy stick around in the air. That makes it just plain fun." Review by The Slipperyone with overall score [8/10]. Includes screen shots.

- GameCritics.com - Review by Brad Gallaway and Chi Kong Lui. "Fans of survival horror could do much worse. I know that's not exactly a ringing endorsement, but that's the best I can say about a title that plays pretty good, clearly underachieves in scope and sticks to what works as if innovation were a crime." With score. Includes screen shots, art gallery and message board.

- GamesDomain - "Truly a gem of a game...The only problem I have with Onimusha is that it's a little too short. You can complete the adventure with a game time of five to six hours." Reviewed by Paul Bistoff.

- GameSpot - "Onimusha's focus on action and its lack of tedious backtracking allow it to break away from the Resident Evil mold. While die-hard Resident Evil fans will be turned off by the game's length, others will find it to be the survival-horror game for people who don't like survival-horror games." Review by Joe Fielder. Includes screen shots, FAQs, GameShark codes and walkthrough.

- Gamezilla - "In my opinion this game ranks along side of "Metal Gear Solid" and "Deus Ex." This is a must buy for the avid gamer and even if you dont care for adventure games it should be rented just to see how well the PS2 can pipe out graphics." Reviewed by Mike David with screen shots and score.

- Happy Puppy - "The fact that you get sent back to the original load screen every time our friend Samanoske meets his untimely death is unforgivable, but it's not something that should keep you away from an otherwise first-class game." Reviewed by Derek Collins with screen shots.

- Hotgames - "Steeped in style, sleight in substance, and superior in overall satisfaction." Review by Lawrence Neves with screen shots and score.

- ign - "I especially liked the upgrade-able weapons systems, and the way in which different swords worked on varying monsters with stronger or weaker degrees. These things you figure out as you play along, but every time you fight a new monster, the thrill of hacking it to mincemeat is every bit real." Review by Doug Perry.

- Maxim Online - "If you can overlook minor perspective problems, Onimushas intense combat, stunning graphics, and involving story make this a masterpiece hotter than a mouthful of wasabi." Reviewed by Scott Steinberg.

- PlanetPS2 - "Fans of the "Resident Evil" series will love Onimusha, as the player has long overcome the small "nit-picky" problems inherent in the genre." Review by Russell Garbutt.

- PSX Nation - "Short and easy, but also polished and action-packed violent fun for the adult PS2 owners who haven't yet played 'Code Veronica'". Review by J.M. Vargas with screen shots.

- XenGamers - "It may not be totally original-the blueprint for this game seems to have been lifted directly out of the 'Resident Evil' file-but intuitive controls, outstanding graphics and a wonderfully unsettling soundtrack help this title rise to the top of the PS2 heap."
