It's a pretty short game (I replayed it around a year ago) and I still like it. I realize now that it's very similar to resident evil games, but now it's samurais. More importantly, to me it has DNA in it that informs the souls games (i.e., you suck up souls from killing demons and use them to upgrade weapons/gear). It has almost an endless battle mode that gets you an awesome sword if you can beat it. It set me on a path of playing all the sequels (not including spin-offs) and loving them, I plan on replaying them in the near future.
