It's truly a testament to how bad the Wii 3rd party lineup was if this piece of (very pretty) trash is the eighth-best Wii 3rd party game in your eyes. I tried to love Muramasa, just as I tried (and similarly failed) to love Vanillaware's previous Odin Sphere. But after 8 or so hours I had just had enough of the boring pacing, the copy & pasted level design, and the lackluster combat. It's a gorgeous game, to be sure. But if there was ever a game that showed that visuals aren't enough to carry a game, it's Muramasa.
