Muramasa Rebirth Review (Gamerhub)

Muramasa Rebirth is a must-own for the Vita.

Vita has some kick-ass games out and coming soon from the E3 line-up.

Loved the wii game so will be on this from day one. A real overlooked gem. A little repetitive maybe but so so beautiful.

I've been keeping an eye on this gem and plan to pick it up when I have a chance. I purchased Odin's Sphere and if it is by the same dev (Vanillaware) like I'm assuming, well their style is AMAZING. This will look great on the Vita's oLED screen along with Dragon's Crown!!!!

Yeah, all the reviews, and in fact most people that love it, just talk about the visuals and music. Yes, they are nice.

For me though, the gameplay is lacking. Run from left to right, or right to left, for what seems like forever, then if you are lucky stumble across a boss. On top of that, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of skill required during combat.

Maybe I just haven't played it enough, but I lost interest after the second (?) boss. Still have it in my Vita, but haven't played it for months.

Just my opinion..

Vita is AWESOME

id like to get this game... IF ANY OF THE STORES AROUND ME HAD IT!!! :'(

[MadMax]

No kidding! No one has even received it yet!!! Just got off the phone with gamestop, theyre saying friday. Target and Best Buy dont even have it in their system, same with Frys! Walmart says check back tonight, maybe. Hole in the wall game store out here is the only place saying, within the next couple hours.

makes me really hate stores now a days, they only buy main stream games and any other niche game, they could care less...

[MadMax]

Yea, always best to have the physical copy! I like to keep somewhat of a collection. Still have some rare dreamcast games that are mint and worth some cash! Games like this can become collectors items after awhile if not many are produced like this.

Gamestop and my local game store will get them, and more than likely by the end of this week. Ive played this on the Wii when it was first released, but i want the HD port on that nice OLED screen! Always dug on the art design of this game. Will be a nice game to add to the collection!

[MadMax]

Yea, its too bad. Ive gone through this before with another game some years back. Couldnt find it anywhere for quite sometime.Target and Best Buy didnt even receive the game. I gave up on Muramasa for today, nobody got it and Gamestop said they will only be getting limited stock! Amazon says it will be available in 2 to 4 weeks? What the heck is going on with this game?

Really frustrating. I usually grab my games from Frys Electronics as they usually sell new releases at $10 cheaper. They tell me Muramasa isnt even in their system and when they did do more of a thorough search they found a listing under Muramase! They cant even spell the game, haha. Still nothing!

[jon1234]

i feel your pain man... i want the physical copy, i like lending my games to friends when im done with them... but if this continues... i guess ill just get it on the psn :/

[MadMax]

Heres the latest with Muramasa. Its just been released in some stores today, mainly gamestop! No one else is carrying it. They are receiving them in very low stock, if you didnt preorder it, they will more than likely have 1 extra on hand.

I just picked up the last one at my local gamestop. I never buy from them, but really wanted a physical copy of this. They even said a game like this will be in very short supply. Your best bet is to call gamestop today and tell them to hold you one. Good luck!

Got mine too, I went through the same phone calls as well haha, thanks for The heads up though
