Genji is a beautifully cinematic, sword-wielding Samurai adventure based on the popular Japanese legend of the same name. Acting as the historic hero Genkuro Yoshitsune or his trusted companion Benkei, the warrior monk, you set out on a mission to release the oppressed from the evil forces of the warlord Kiyomori and restore the Genji dynasty to power. WorthPlaying (http://www.worthplaying.com) recently had a chance to get some hands on time with an demo version, here is a snip :
Enemies charge in relentless waves, surrounding the player often in strategic positions that best allow for heavy damage. During the three preview missions, none of the battles were intensely difficult, but great showings were made in terms of AI quality. Enemies will make desperate jumps to especially devious vantage points and attempt to attack during your weakest moments. Of course, any attentive gamer who has spent any amount of time with a shockingly difficult title like Ninja Gaiden could easily learn which situations to avoid in order to keep enemies at bay, but for the average gamer, or even a distracted hardcore action freak, making it through every single wave of enemies unscathed will prove to be a bit of a task.Check the complete Genji: Dawn of the Samurai preview (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=27824) over at WorthPlaying.
