Due to disappointing sales, it has become hard to find and is no longer being stocked by EBGames or Gamestop*. If you can find Otogi 2, you need to snatch it up and bask in its beauty.*As of publishing this I know Huebner Oaks and a few other stores still have new and used copies of this game.

Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors review:
Otogi: Myth of Demons was released fairly early in the Xbox's prosperous life, demonstrating the console's power through the utilisation of dazzling displays of colourful, powerful magic and frantic, fluent action. Now, nigh on two years later, Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors has hit shelves with the intent of improving upon its predecessor, retaining the same Japanese and Samurai influence and hacking and slashing action. Gameplay In typical action game style, the storyline in Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors is not well told. While you will be presented with a few short cut scenes here and there, dialogue is limited and the general gist of what's going on is never really established; I was often left with the personal objective of simply slashing and bouncing my way through areas and levels rather than attempting to bring the characters to their goal. This leaves the game with an often empty and arcadey feel and you'll wish developer From Software made use of the game's potential to tell a story in more detail and depth. By allowing you to purchase and sell upgrades, spells and weapons and develop and switch between characters, the game successfully integrates a hint of strategy and management into what would've otherwise been a generally repetitive affair. The characters at hand - Raikoh, Kintoki, Tsuna, Sadamitsu, Suetake and Seimei - each feature slightly different abilities, attributes, fighting styles and moves without alienating themselves; taking up control of another doesn't bear too steep a learning curve. The strategy comes into play when selecting a character to use throughout a level; you'll need to choose them according to which house they belong to and which house the enemies in that particular level belong to so that you can match them up to give yourself a powerful advantage. The fact that the houses are an assortment of Japanese words, however, often require you to inconveniently keep at hand and flick through the game's manual in order to determine your plan of attack. As you fight through the game's largely open levels against the hordes of monsters impeding your progress you'll find your characters gaining experience, going up levels and accumulating gold that, as mentioned above, can be used to purchase upgrades and other helpful items. This encourages you to take part in fights - even against the more pesky of monsters - as you'll always know there's a reward and goal worth fighting for. As in the game's predecessor, each character features a set of moves similar to those in one-on-one fighting games - you're able to take down the often large groups of enemies in a variety of ways, either with a few inhumanly fast slashes with your blade, dashing in order to hop from one enemy to another, or with an assortment of devastating spells that'll see your enemies explode in a shower of blinding light and other magical elements. While the game provides a lock-on system to help you target singular monsters, the fact that there are often so many surrounding you and that you can usually take down more than one at once will see you leaving it on the shelf for the most part; it becomes too cumbersome in frantic situations. Aside from the generally satisfying main game, Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors features a few bonuses to extend its lifespan. Unfortunately, though, replaying levels and taking part in superficial mini-games that require you to perform such tasks as fighting off hordes of monsters before the timer runs out or destroying arches simply isn't compelling; only fans of the game will be motivated to move beyond the meat of it. Graphics The back of the game's case establishes the prequel to Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors as a visual masterpiece. This may have been true back when it was at its peak, but the sequel hasn't made much improvement upon the original and, with the likes of Doom 3 around, the series will not likely continue its journey with this tag attached. The game's levels are varied and often open, featuring both indoor as well as lush outdoor environments bearing decent texture work. Just as decent are the character models and their animation. Where the game really shines graphically, however, is in its visually-pleasing explosions of colour and intense effects as the result of magic during battle; as a consequence, however, expect the occasional drop in frame-rate. Sound The music in Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors carries across the game's Japanese influence, making use of oriental instruments and arrangements, suiting the style of the game and its gameplay perfectly. The sound effects are all great and nothing to complain about either, though the voice acting often lacks emotion and intensity and sounds, generally, amateur. Overall Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors is a plausible improvement over its predecessor, offering a wide assortment of playable characters along with a satisfying arsenal of moves, combos and magical attacks. Though the game features many replayability features the casual gamer won't be compelled to do so considering the fact that the game gets repetitive and difficult early on what with the constant fighting and all. Fans of the original would benefit from a purchase; the rest of you had better rent before you buy.Thumbs Up Nice magic effects Variety of characters Strategy and management melded inThumbs Down Average storyline Repetitive gameplay No incentive to replay full size >>
