Muramasa is an odd little game- since release it has gained a huge amount of critical praise, but will this old-school side-scroller for the Wii impress the reviewers at PlayDevil?
Here is a snippet from the review:
'The danger of games in the style of this, is that they soon become very repetitive so I approached the game with an open mind and hoped that it would offer enough variety in it's gameplay.
Instantly I found that the tutorial offered a nice taster and gave me belief that the game would provide a nice tactical aspect in it's variety of moves and strategic use of the huge amount of swords which can be used however when I got into the main game this never quite panned out as well as I had hoped.
Admittedly the player has a large amount of moves at their disposal although once into the story you may find that only a few moves are needed in order to progress'
Nintenderos: "We kick off our interviews this year with a very special one with George Kamitani, president of Vanillaware. In case you didn't know this study, it is the one behind games of the stature of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Odin Sphere or Dragon's Crown. In addition to, of course, unforgettable titles like the wonderful 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim published by Atlus a few months ago."

How do you introduce people to folklore and fairy tales? Introducing people to mythology can be easy when they are young or in school, as such stories can sometimes be used to teach morals, introduce concepts that might be difficult for people to otherwise understand, act as warnings and get imaginations working. Once folks get older, it can be more difficult to get them engaged and interested in legends. Fortunately, some Japanese video games can step in to bridge the gap.
