North American box art Capcom Director(s) Motohide Eshiro Hirohisa Soda Shin Yoshida Kishiko Miyagi Hideki Okugawa Toshihiko Horiyama Series Release •: March 7, 2002 •: August 27, 2002 •: October 4, 2002 Mode(s) Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, released in Japan as Onimusha 2 ( 鬼武者2, Onimusha Tsū), is an game developed and released by for the. It is the second installment in the series of video games released in May 2002. Set in medieval Japan, the plot revolves around a new protagonist, Jubei Yagyu, who is on a quest of revenge as he battles a demon army led by Nobunaga Oda, a sinister warlord who eliminated the Yagyu clan. Across his quest, Jubei learns of his heritage which grants him powers to slay the demons and meets new allies who also wish to defeat Nobunaga. The game retains the action elements from its predecessor such as the use of multiple special weapons that can be upgraded by defeating enemies. Apart from the main character, the game features four playable sub-characters, each of whom shares a part in the story. The player's actions determine which characters will decide to help Jubei in his quest.

These characters were added by the Capcom staff to give a bigger depth to the game and expand the game's feeling of adventure. Publications for video games generally praised Onimusha 2 for keeping the action elements from its prequel and adding new gameplay elements. The game also sold a total of 1.9 million units as of 2008. Contents • • • • • • • Gameplay [ ] Samurai's Destiny features a control scheme found in many games published by, most notably.

[ Home –>Games –>Dynasty Warriors 5 –>Rare and Special Items ]. Dynasty Warriors 5 features special items which you can only get by meeting special conditions on certain stages (on any difficulty), saddles and harnesses used to start stages with a special mount, and elemental orbs, which add special capabilities to.

Other similarities include open-ended gameplay, the use of herbs and medicine to restore, and the inclusion of which must be solved in order to progress. Hostile demons known as Genma inhabit most areas, and will attack and chase Jubei. Jubei collects an assortment of short and long-range weapons throughout the game, including a and a rifle.

Jubei is able to use magic by wielding element-based weapons. When wielding these weapons, Jubei can perform a stronger elemental attack at any time. In order to discourage, the player is rewarded for performing 'Issen' hits on Genma. Issen occur when the player initiates an attack the moment an enemy is about to lunge forward. A bright flash will appear if the move was successful, and the target enemy will die instantly. If a group of Genma surround Jubei, he will be able to several Issen hits together, mowing down the entire group. Jubei attacks Ginghamphatts in his Onimusha state.

When the purple bar disappears, Jubei will return to his human form. Shortly into the game, Jubei gains the ability to absorb the souls of defeated Genma. Jubei can attract any orbs in the vicinity and draw them into his hand, provided that he is standing close enough. Demons Souls are differentiated by the color of the orb: the most common type, red orbs, act as which can be spent to improve Jubei's weapons and armor. Yellow orbs will restore a character's. Blue orbs recharge. The rarest variety is the purple orb temporarily Jubei into an 'Onimusha', increasing his attack damage and becoming invincible.

Samurai's Destiny features a gold mining town called Imasho which is free of enemy encounters. Onimusha 2 introduces several elements into the series. In the areas surrounding Imasho, defeated Genma often leave behind piles of which can be spent on gifts for other characters (Ekei, Magoichi, Kotaro and Oyu).

Reactions to a present will depend on that person's temperament; giving Oyu a bouquet of flowers will make her happy, whereas giving it to a male recipient will simply irritate them. Jubei's gift-giving will determine which warrior will assist him as the game progresses, and will in turn influence the story. In some cases, if the player fails to win a character over, that person will opt to shun or betray Jubei later on. At certain points in the story, control may be passed to another character for a short period. These often begin with Jubei finding himself ambushed, trapped, or incapacitated, requiring one of his allies to help him. During these events, the sub-character can equip a bracelet which imbues them with the same soul-absorbing power which Jubei wields.

Plot [ ] Since the death of Fortinbras, has taken command of the Genma as he continues his campaign to unite Japan while wiping out any threat to his power. Among the villages he targeted is the village. The clan's only survivor,, finds the destroyed village and goes to search for the culprit. He encounters a female named Takajo ( 高女) who explains Nobunaga's actions. Revealing herself as Jubei's mother, Takajo unleashes Jubei's Oni powers and tells him to search for five orbs that were created to protect humans from demons. Jubei then embarks on a quest to find the orbs in order to defeat Nobunaga.

Across his journey, Jubei meets several warriors who become his allies, including, a master spearfighter in the Houzouin style who wishes to become a feudal lord; Fūma Kotarō, a ninja who distrusts women after his mother abandoned him;, the leader of the ' gun troop in; and Oyu of Odani, a female warrior who is secretly Nobunaga's sister,, and wishes to stop her brother. Jubei also encounters several Gemna serving Nobunaga including the arrogant yet noble swordsman Gogandantess; Ginghamphatts, a giant, semi- genma; and Jujudormah, a female genma who kills Takajo and is obsessed with Nobunaga. With help from his friends, Jubei defeats his enemies, including the forces that were going to attack. He goes to Nobunaga's base in after stealing a ship from Nobunaga's servant,. Having already obtained all Five Orbs, Jubei bids farewell to his comrades as he decides to face Nobunaga alone. During his final battle with Nobunaga, Jubei unleashes the might of the Five Orbs to enhance his oni powers, and defeats Nobunaga.

However, unable to be destroyed, Nobunaga's disembodied spirit vows to return and Jubei escapes from the collapsing castle. Development [ ] The first sequel to Onimusha: Warlords was confirmed by Capcom in April 2001 when it was released in America.

This quick announcement was made because Onmiusha 2 was developed alongside Warlords. The game's story and characters were revealed in June of that same year. The hero Jubei Yagyu was modelled after the late Japanese actor. While the game is graphically similar to its prequel, the backgrounds were given more animations.

One of these scenes which includes down-pouring of rain was made as a homage to the staff's favorite film,. Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny was made by different team from the one that made the first game. The team implemented a bigger focus in adventure rather than action for this game in order to give more depth. Like the original Onimusha, this game also was originally planned to be released for the but the release of the made the team change it to the new console.

Producer saw this game as a way to include many things he wanted in the first game but in the end could not. The music in the game was composed by Hideki Okugawa. Japanese musician contributed to the game with the theme 'Russian Roulette' which is used as the game's alternate intro theme. Release [ ] Onimusha 2 was originally released in Japan on March 7, 2002, followed by the releases in North America on August 27 and Europe on October 4. The game was also re-released with its Warlords and Demon Siege into the 2008 compilation Onimusha Essentials for North America. The same day the game was released in Japan, Capcom also published a fan DVD containing a guide and movies featuring the development staff. A 44-track CD original soundtrack was released by Capcom on March 20, 2002, while published it in North America next year on June 3.

The soundtrack Onimusha 2 Orchestra Album ~ Taro Iwashiro Selection was also released in 2003. Reception [ ] Reception Aggregate scores Aggregator Score 84.44% 84/100 Review scores Publication Score 36/40 B+ 7.9/10 4/5 8.9/10 8/10 Onimusha 2 was a commercial success in Japan. In April 2002, Capcom announced they shipped over a million copies in Japan having faster sales than its predecessor. During that year, it was also the third best selling game in the country. As of May 2008, it has sold over 1.9 million copies worldwide. Capcom VP of Strategic Planning and Business Development Christian Svensson referred to Onimusha 2 and its predecessor as one of their most successful titles.

However, the staff noted it had poor sales in Europe. As a result, they tried appealing to the European fans by adding more Western tones to their next work,.

Before its release, awarded it as the 'Best Adventure Game' from E3 2002 for the PlayStation 2. Onimusha 2 received praise for its gameplay and presentation.

On release, magazine scored the game a 36 of 40. It has been praised for retaining the action elements from its predecessor and adding replay value.

However, the use of the dpad rather than the joystick's left analogue to control Jubei has been the subject of criticism as players would have difficulties getting used. While Jeremy Jastrab from praised the new Gift system for motivating the player to explore more, Chandronait from was disappointed by the characters' relationships being affected by gifts rather than decisions. However, it has also been criticized for its camera which sometimes makes combat difficult. Although IGN's Jeremy Dunhan acknowledged this issue, he noted that there were several improvements over the original game.

Dunhan summed it up as 'Bigger, bloodier, and deeper than its predecessor, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is on many levels the perfect sequel.' Reviewers also acknowledged the game had a short length despite the new gameplay elements but still found the replay value to favor it. In regards to the presentation, response has been mixed. The graphics have been well received for its appealing CGI scenes as well as character models.

Despite finding the plot too similar to Warlords, from praised the game's presentation for balancing action and cutscenes. However, he criticized the lack of its original Japanese audio leaving the players to listen to an English dub that was deemed as 'mediocre.'

Agreeing with Kasavin, Chandronait found that the plot was also affected by a poor script localization. While Chandronait found Oyu's character and her relationship with Jubei stereotypical, she found the other characters more enjoyable. IGN's Jeremy Dunhan saw Jubei as a more interesting character than Samanosuke Akechi from Warlords based on his personality and actions. IGN later listed it as the 45th best PlayStation 2 game.

GameSpot also listed as a nominee in the category 'Best Action Adventure Game' during 2002. Listed Onimusha 2 as one of the titles they want to be rereleased in a HD collection. In the from 2001 and 2002, Onimusha 2 received the 'Award for Excellence.' References [ ]. • ^ Greg Kasavin.

Obviously MGS 3 Subsistence LE is going to be up there, but I also think that MGS 2 Substance is rare as well (at least, a sealed copy was getting upwards of $80 when I got mine last year. For $20 sealed.) Digital Devil Saga 1 and Nocturne are also pretty rare and I'm obligated to mention Marvel Vs. I happen to have all those games so I'm hopefully going to avoid getting raped on Ebay this gen. In the future, I think Zone of the Enders 2 and Suikoden III will skyrocket. The last sealed MGS2 substance I saw on ebay went for like $170. ZoE2 also goes pretty high sealed as well. There isnt a good list of rare ps2 games anywhere so ive taken the liberty of making a great one.

Some PS2 games are rare because of limited print runs, availability, collectability, or because collectors dont sell their copies and the demand out weighs the supply even though hundreds of thousands of copies were sold. I feel this list is accurate though some games may be missing. Please note just because you can find these games at youre local game store doenst mean that it isnt rare.

Ive been to a gamestop that had 13 copies of Marvel vs. That game is rare but yeah they had a ton of them. That doesnt mean it isnt rare.

So please dont respond with 'I see that game everywhere' or 'I can get that at Gamestop'. Good for you. Maybe you should pick it up if youre a collector because it might not be there a month from now. No game is unattainable so you will find copies for sale at flea markets, corporate stores and game stores. I own over 1500 games with no doubles with 350 of those for the PS2. This is the real list. I will also post a list of honorable mentions after this one.

Aero Elite Combat Academy Atelier Iris:Eternal Mana Atelier Iris:The Azoth of Destiny Atelier Iris:Grand Phantasm Ar Tonelico:Melody of Elemia Limited Edition Ar Tonelico:Melody of Metafalica Limited Edition Blood Will Tell Bloody Roar 4 Capcom vs. That's a good list there, I might dispute some of them but I think it's pretty much on target. I think alot has probably changed since this thread was started in 2006, alot of the more discussed games have gotten reprints(it seems weird that only like a year ago Fatal Frame was still fetching $50+) and it seems that games in general have decreased a bit in price(gamestop has taken alot of the rarer games down in price). As far as games that had regular releases go, it seems that Tales from the Abyss is the rarest one out there right now. Heres a list of semi-rare PS2 games. Again some games may be missing and this list is an opinion of what I think are rare PS2 games. I am a huge collector and research games everyday.

I like to know print runs, limited editions, developers, fluxuating prices, different editions and so on and so on. I feel I am very educated in this but may be wrong on some of the games.

Also please note that reprints of rare games have caused the game to become more uncommon than rare such as Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 and the Fatal Frame series. However, games like the original Fatal Frame has differences in the original version and the reprinted version that are noticable. I would consider the original version of Fatal Frame as rare than a Honorable mention or uncommon. The difference is placement of the screen shots on the back, the size lettering on the back, and even some wording.

You will notice that the reprints of rare games do have small differences or are missing stuff completely like Shin Megami Tensei's Nocturne had a Limited Edition Sountrack in some of the original printed game case. Some of the reprinted Nocturnes case stated is have 2 discs but is missing the soundtrack, making that soundtrack extremely rare since none of the reprints have the soundtrack and Atlus is noterious for low print runs anyway. Well back to business, heres a list of Honorable Mentions of Rare PS2 Games. The list is pretty good actually. A few things though. 1) the time crisis games have lost ALOT of value due to the fact that the guns are useless for non-crt tvs. 2) the atlus games, mainly the SMT games are good collectibles but not really worth a great deal.

3) while the guy game can be considered a collectible, its pretty hard to determine its real value because you cant sell that game on alot of the major marketplaces like amazon and ebay. The only place you can probably find those are at gamestops and indie stores. Maybe chasethechuckwagon. This is my top picks from your list: - ar tonelico 1 limited edition with the artbook - marvel vs.

Capcom 2 - final fantasy vana diel collection - everblue 2 - wizardry - blood will tell. Rare doesnt mean expensive. A lot of people get that confused.

PS2 games are falling in price right now because everyone is trying to get rid of them. PS3 has hit its stride on the gaming market and is actually producing a lot of fantastic games. In turn the interests in PS2 games has nose dived.

99% of the PS2 games at Game Stop has gone down in value with Tales of the Abyss the only game Ive seen increase in value at GameStop. Going from $30 to $35. Eventually PS2 games will totally faze out of stores and will be impossible to pick up. Thats when the prices will go back up on some of the games.

Plus the horrible economy hasnt helped the value on PS2 games either. You gotta remember the Playstation 2 is the longest running console and is still producing brand new games.

I think the time to go out and find rare PS2 games is now! While there cheaper and available. Everyone is trading there old PS2 games in for the newest PS3 games. Hell I saw some of the rarest PS2 games in 1 Gamestop a week ago.

Guy said 1 guy traded it all in for a PS3 and some games. The guy who traded it in was a collector but really wanted a PS3. Will these games go back up?

Some of them will and some of them wont but remember. Look at the most expensive and rarest games for every console. RPG's, obscure games, and games that came out much later in the consoles life time are the games that people are paying and looking for. So pick up those late produced games like Persona 4 and Mana Khemia 2 for PS2. Chances are that they will be a good investment like Dragon Warrior 4 for the NES, Harvest Moon for the SNES, Ogre Battle 64 for the Nintendo 64, Project Justice for Dreamcast, Panzer Dragoon Saga for Saturn, and a butt load of PS1 games which retail used for $30+ bucks on auction sites. Just a suggestion but I see a theme here.

Well, several games on your rare list are still available on Amazon. You've also got regular editions of Growlanser Heritage of War and Magna Carta on your semi rare list, neither of those had regular editions. I think the LE Digital Devil Saga with the box and soundtrack should be on one of the lists though. EDIT: As to your above post, definitely would want to pick up Sakura Wars for the PS2, probably the last worthwhile PS2 game to be released in the US, and already sold out at several places. Well, several games on your rare list are still available on Amazon.

You've also got regular editions of Growlanser Heritage of War and Magna Carta on your semi rare list, neither of those had regular editions. I think the LE Digital Devil Saga with the box and soundtrack should be on one of the lists though. Agreed on the DDS Deluxe Set w/soundtrack with the caveat that it must have the soundtrack to rate high on the rarity scale. The problem is that it's very easy to pick up the authentic boxes via eBay for less than 15 bucks shipped. I'd also suggest that the Shadow Hearts GameStop full game promo (received for pre-ordering Shadow Hearts: Covenant) needs to be added to the first list. That's one of the most difficult PS2 finds; particularly sealed..hack//G.U.

1 Rebirth Special Edition w/figure if also a nearly impossible get and one of the rarest distinct PS2 offerings. PS2 games are falling in price right now because everyone is trying to get rid of them.its not just that. The lack of support lately and no unique and original games coming out for the system. It also doesnt help that the ps3 doesnt support ps2 games except for the earlier units.

Right now sony just wants to keep it alive for just cause they want it to break records of some sort. The ps3 on the other hand does have a strong lineup of games but in its 4 years in the market theres really not much.

The wii actually beat it when it comes to any sort of value or rarity on some games. Bladestorm for the ps3 was actually becoming sought after but they reprinted it right away. Agreed on the DDS Deluxe Set w/soundtrack with the caveat that it must have the soundtrack to rate high on the rarity scale. The problem is that it's very easy to pick up the authentic boxes via eBay for less than 15 bucks shipped. I'd also suggest that the Shadow Hearts GameStop full game promo (received for pre-ordering Shadow Hearts: Covenant) needs to be added to the first list. That's one of the most difficult PS2 finds; particularly sealed..hack//G.U.

1 Rebirth Special Edition w/figure if also a nearly impossible get and one of the rarest distinct PS2 offerings. I would say the non promo version of Shadow Hearts is more sought after. I would say the non promo version of Shadow Hearts is more sought after Well, we're talking about rarity rather than popularity. For example, any black label version of Final Fantasy VII is more sought after than the double-Sephiroth Greatest Hits version, but the latter is undoubtedly far more rare. That being said, I've seen sealed promo versions of Shadow Hearts top the $100 mark on eBay when the seller is smart enough to advertise its rarity.

I own a sealed copy myself. I consider that and my unused FFXI Vana Diel Collection as the two keys of my PS2 collection. MGS Subsistence LE will join them on the podium as soon as I can find one (it's the only US-issued PS2 game I've never seen in the wild). While I don't own a PS2 I remember buying quite a few of the games on that list at Circuit city for a friend at clearance prices, some I bought from Target on clearance too a few years ago, games like Shadow Hearts, Grandia and Growlanser I think I have purchased before for $15-20 each. I have to agree on the value of PS2 games though, they aren't even worth buying for me unless they are 1$ each at yard sales because even at Xmas time I can't even flip them for decent money. I can flip older games for better money than PS2 games. I would say the non promo version of Shadow Hearts is more sought after Which pisses me off as I had that when I preordered Covenant and got the promo copy.

I had bought the original used though (it was in pretty good shape) so I figured I would keep the new one in my usual mint condition and sell my other copy since it was the used one and it was still worth some money. Also I saw Tales of the Abyss at my local Gamestop for $35 used on Wednesday, by Saturday someone had bought it so I guess all the Tales games end up being rare. Only ones I've played are Symphonia and Vesperia (only played Symphonia once or twice but beat Vesperia.).
