Way of the Samurai III turned out to be a dissappointment. The first problem was the interface was severely outdated. There wasn’t character generation to speak of. No female avatars were offered either. I’ve played other games and seen Asian martial arts films that had female samurai, it isn’t unusual so they should have included some. The menus for the inventory and map are clunky to use. Cutscenes are unremarkable. There were several times when the characters were saying “What should we do?” An early sign of how completely uninteresting this game turned out to be. Dialog boxes are a weird beige color with white writing that you can’t see. There will be many points deducted for terrible and broken controls. Much of the engine is outdated, the mechanics are rougher than a PS2 game. Nostaligia for old games like Tenchu is wasted on this mud.Feb
