One of the PS2's early hits proffers a sword-swinging spin-off in Onimusha: Blade Warriors. Unlike most 3D fighting games, Blade Warriors features large combat areas, with multiple paths and interactive elements that may influence strategy. In all, 24 characters from the Capcom series are available for battle, though many need to be unlocked. Characters can be customized with upgrades in the game's single-player Story mode, while up to four players can compete together (using a "multitap" device) in the Fighting mode. A Practice mode lets combatants perfect their skills, while a number of mini-games offer diversions from the head-to-head battles.

Features:
* Two dozen playable characters plus special guests
* Four player battles in expansive, interactive arenas
* Mini-games to help upgrade and customize characters
