Way of the Samurai 3 sits on a shelf next to games like MGS4 and Uncharted 2, but won't for long. Some of us would love to see the sort of immense and passionate effort of MGS4 or Uncharted 2 put into a game with a samurai or ninja protagonist. Forums for Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed 2 often suggest this point, and the stealth in MGS4, Uncharted 2, and the Splinter Cell games makes me and others wish someone could manage something similar to reinvent Tenchu. I fondly recall the wicked swordplay in Bushido Blade 2, and look forward to an open-world game on modern systems that allowed such decisive consequence. Of course, GTA4 also shows us what radical possibilities exist for open-world environments on current-gen systems.
Reviews from trusted sites ignored, I jumped on a goldbox copy of Way of the Samurai 3, hoping that the samurai protagonist and the "sandbox" setting would be enough. Short, inane, ugly - Way of the Samurai 3 doesn't capitalize on either its popular protagonist or its popular setting. If you want a game that puts you in samurai shoes and that allows you to choose your development and reputation as a professional, you can craft it in your mind while playing other games, you can wait for a thoughtful and modern game that does just that, or buy this game that is a truly pathetic attempt.
Essentially a waste of money. I'm considering the pizzas and beer I missed in buying this mess.Get more detail about Way of the Samurai 3.
