But that doesn't mean the 2D backgrounds don't look downright impressive-Tons of detail and lighting effects-Much like looking at a photograph. But it's still somewhat of a disappointment that Capcom decided to use the same old style of 2D backdrops they used in their other games-With PS2's capabilities, using a 3D environment would've looked almost as detailed, and would've given the game a much more immersive and realistic look and feel. Now, characters look almost as good as early FMV sequences for PS1. Onimusha has the same visual style as most other ''survival horror'' games on PS1, but rather than having those somewhat block, pixelated polygons PS1 was barely able to handle, Onimusha manages to boost the polygon count well above the standard. If eye-candy is what you're looking for, look no further. There will be no more Resident Evil games on PS2, however, there is Onimusha, and it will probably have a sequel or two. It also has many other aspects which are reminiscent of a variety of genres. The simplest way to think of it is Resident Evil, in ancient China, with a few RPG elements. If you're familiar with Capcom's own Resident Evil series, you'll probably have a good idea of how Onimusha plays.
