What?
I played it in a shop yesterday and, er. Muh? It seemed like a hyperactive video of Devil May Cry. I heard people ranting about it and wondered what all the fuss was about.
All I did was hammer the two attack buttons and jump.

Where's the variation then?
• Loads of weapons to use (including double Kantana swords!)
• Loads of magic to take advantage of
• Smash buildings into pieces.
• Smash chunks of wall into pieces
• Create crators into the ground
• Smash enemies into rocks/walls and they crumble on impact
• Jump into the air and totally batter your enemies (matrix style)
• Varied enemies to fight
• Huge boss battles
• Amazing graphics (I emphasize the word 'amazing')
Granted - There is just 3 buttons to use for attack - But its definatly not repetitve. I love it and i'm definatly buying it.
Famitsu gave it 31/40 - Which is pretty high for an Xbox game.

Otogi is without doubt one of the most repetitive games I've played in a while, it's just Hach 'n Slash with some magic moves thrown in. No matter how many variations of swords you get you still do the same thing with them.
But I'm not saying Otogi is a bad game, I actually did enjoy the demo because of the sheer speed, and carnage you can cause. It's a really good arcadey game and I enjoy it so I'll still probably get it, and yes, the graphics are quite special too.
Look at Panzer Dragoon Orta, just fly in a linear line shooting things all the time, but that's stil fun ain't it?.

I got round to playing playing the Otogi demo today and thoroughly enjoyed it, and intend on getting the full game sometime soon.
I'm up to the 2nd boss. So far it's mighty fine - a bit like Gun Valkyrie except better in all departments.It has a similar 'desolate' atmosphere to Panzer Dragoon, which is good. And the graphics - whoosh.
Yup, still sounds incredibly repetitive.
Have you played it maverick? Its really good to play- going by the demo.
