The sequel to The First Samurai loses some of the charm of the original, I find. On the other hand, you have to admit it does cover up its little flaws, boasting a two-player mode in “co-op” or “competition” (the joy of smacking each other around between monsters), and above all, a password system so you don’t have to start from scratch.
The character no longer screams like a pig, which is a relief, and the gameplay offers more variety (even shoot’em up segments where our samurai straps on a jetpack).
Note: “Left Shift” to change secondary weapons.
