"A lot of effort has been put in to Onimusha 2 and graphically it is stunning. The style and characters all add to Onimusha brand atmosphere but unfortunately the translation can destroy the atmosphere like a wrecking ball." Includes overall score [8/10] and screenshots.

"Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is a worthy successor to the first game as it features enough new elements and excellent replay value. Here's another Onimusha that does the PlayStation 2 justice." Review by Major Mike with scores and screen shots.

"Anyone looking for a great hack-and-slash adventure will be more than satisfied with "Onimusha 2." You still have to put up with funky camera angles, but the overall control is more than sufficient to get you though this 10-hour-plus trek." Review by Miguel Concepcion with overall rating [4/5] and screen shots.

"This is a graphically stunning game with a distinctive style, some great character designs, and plenty of pretty scenery. It's also a fun action game to boot, and a faithful though somewhat uninspired sequel." Review by Greg Kasavin with screen shots and overall score [7.9]. <small>(August 27, 2002)</small>

"Nobody likes to miss out on a superb game, especially one that is as enjoyable as Onimusha 2. If I haven't convinced you to buy it then at least rent Onimusha 2. I am willing to bet that a rental will quickly turn into a purchase." Review by Louis Bedigian with overall score [9.5] and screen shots. <small>(August 26, 2002)</small>
