There's some argument that\n            games should be this sort of length anyway, but marketing alone for\n            Onimusha hit $10 million in the States.\n            \n             An ambitious romp through feudal Japan with very few pit stops,\n            and definitely the prettiest game on the PlayStation 2, but it ends\n            sharply.
