  • Very underrated game. It has a lot of RPG elements to it. Great gameplay. and you get to throw a baby if you so choose.

  • Whoever clicked "dislike" on this should commit seppuku. :)

  • @RedBannerOfThePeople don't honor them with the word seppuku, they're only worthy of Hara-kiri and I'll be their "assistance"

  • @Shogunelite Ah, I always get seppuku and harakiri mixed up. My mistake, lol.

  • @RedBannerOfThePeople they both mean the same it's just harakiri is alot more vulgar

  • @Shogunelite harakiri is a more formal version of seppuku. seppuku is done on the battlefield to avoid the dishonour of being captured, whereas harakiri is very ceremonial involving dressing in a white robe, and having someone to assist you in the beheading. this is the reason why samurai have a katana and a smaller blade when wearing their swords. the smaller blade makes it easier to commit suicide.

  • I LOVE this opening. :D Gives me goosebumps. Heh.

  • Highly under appreciated game

  • ah memories, i only wished during the game u get accepted into a clan more, instead of just being used in every scenario almost

  • Awesome..... just pure awesome

  • the first and second Way of the samurai games are among my most favorite games :3 This series did alot more for saming then most realize and its a massive shame that the third game (not counting Samurai western) drop the ball and probaby killed the series for good.

  • @Gojiro7 I agree with you,first two were amazing,but third was just terrible :(

  • @Xzyification @Gojiro7 I wonder, why people are saying the third Way of Samurai is terrible? I've just got the game...

  • @XaliberDeathlock It's not terrible at all, but I guess in a month you've probably already made a decision. The first one was completely amazing, two was alright, three was actually really good. NOT as good as the original, but not bad. I REALLY want to play 4 thought, but there's no American release date yet. It goes back to the first one in terms of setting, taking place towards the end of the samurai.

  • i've played this game thousands of times, took 2 years to get tired of it, was almost always my first choice, its a shame they dont have a 2 player duel option in the 3rd :/ thats one of the things this game has that made it so epic!

  • KENJI FTW

  • wow this is the most epic game opening EVER.

  • Its Based on Akria Kurasowa's "Yojimbo" I Believe

  • BEST FUCKING GAME IN THE PS2 YEARS IN MY OPINION ....

    I THINK THEY SHOULD BRING THESE GAMES BACK!

  • i remember playin dis when i wuz only 5 years old

  • Tenchu wasnt so bad yet on #1 or #3, Number 2 Had its good moments but was a bit broken, Number 4 and 5 were shot in the mouth

  • such an awesome game, liked the character design in this especially the head that looked like himura kenshin :D

  • Oh man..nostalgia! I can't even remember how many hours I spent on this game going down all the different routes.

  • what happened to beautiful games like this?

  • Ayame strolled through the outbacks of Japan, the moon shrowded in a light mist. It was a sad time in Japan. Those with honor had long ago died, and those left wasted thier lives in endless and pitiful battles for no true worth or were hunted by the government. And so, she left for the wilds, where she could lead the rest of her life in peace with what shreds of honor she had left... not knowing her honor would be put to a test no one's had ever been before... as she came to the Rokkostu Pass...

  • If anyone can upload a high quality of this I'll be forever grateful

  • i REALLY love this game but the makers really could have touched in a few things and made this game much more epic and actually make it...highly rated then underrated, why couldn't they add more people to the town/station!? It's only Suzu, Dona Dona, and that Old Guy who owns the Ramen shop!

    I Mean look at all those houses! Why couldn't they have put people :/ it would make sense too..Still love the game.

  • @RichardTran0 well, in the story, everyone else left except for those 3. The kurou family are trying to get them out of there, but they keep resisting. (geeze, I can't believing I'm remembering the Aoto gang, Kurou family, and even Ouka clan names. Shows how much of a fanboy I am XD )

  • @RichardTran0 *everyone else except those 3 evacuated from town.

    to correct my statement.

  • BAD ASS INTRO

  • The characters in this game were nicely developed. This game was really really sweet.

  • WHO IS THAT BALD GUY AT 1:19 AGAIN????

  • That would be Kitcho... the big dude at the 2:08 to 2:10's son. In the game your options are to side with either or random third parties but to get the ultimate ending you have to side with Kitcho's father and act like a dick to everybody until the end and take Kitcho's side and get the true ending.

  • This song is pretty catchy. I like how everything melts in at 1:30. LOL! I wonder if I'll be humming this to school everyday...

  • hey can anyone explain to me

    why is there only 2 days in the game

    i have this game love it and in the turorial the misstress says u only have to days and she says

    ull understand soon i

    and i stiil dont anyone able to help ???????????????

    sorry for long comment

  • um i had this game, and its because a big battle is supposed to happen 2 days from then. either way the games great cause there are a crapload of endings. and alot of other things you can do. so the days in it didn't really bother me. i went sad after a while went missing in my house years back *sighs*. I plan on getting 3 though. U should too.

  • Yo dralavant guy wat up I agree whith you I got part 1 and 2 I'm gettin part 3 soon how come people won't appreciate Japanese culture

  • Way of the Samurai 3 got such a horrible rating because all the graphic whores wanted to compare it to Uncharted. That's such bullshit. In order to appreciate it, you have to compare it to the previous installments as to how much its progressed. And I think they did a damn good job with Way of the Samurai 3. But for you to properly understand this series, you have to understand the culture of Japan in the Feudal era, and the lives of those who followed the ways of Bushido.

  • i agree with flogeta i love this game

    and this intro is great

    i love all the diffeent endings

  • Best game ever. The music, the charakters...just great...

  • under appreciated game

  • It breaks my heart. Because Way of the Samurai 1,2 and 3 are such amazing successes. I've had way of the samurai 1 for over 6 years. I bought Way of the Samurai 3 last month at EB games and I haven't put it down since. MY GOD I LOVE THIS GAME! And the best part about it is that you can play as the main character from the very first Way of the Samurai!

    It's better than Onimusha in every way. It's under-appreciated just like Tenchu Z. And in my view, it's far better than Ninja Gaiden!

  • i heard in this game you can join a clan and then double cross them, but other people say you can't

    .x. guess i'll find out soon

    looks spiffy~

  • I found it used at gamestop for $5.99.

  • lucky !!!!!

    im hoping to find it in my gamestop

    but i dnt think it will be there now =[

  • scrotos101 if you live in the u.s. you can find the game in national city it's by a walmart and you can see a game crazy, but it's not at game crazy,but if you pass a chuckeecheeses keep walking straight and you'll see a gamestop.you can also find it at lunagames where they sell old games.

  • I love this game. I wish I can find the second one.

  • order it off Amazon

  • if you know "Way of the Samurai", you got to play "Samurai - Western"! i guess one of the hero you can play is the leader of the Kuro-family -- master Tesshin, because if you defeat the end-boss in "Samurai Western" you'll get Tesshin's katana the "Dai-Kuronama"

    "Dona Telius" the affro samurai which appears in way of the samurai was a fat cow-boy that decidet at the end to go to japan to be a samurai ---I HAVE TO GET SAMURAI WESTERN!!

  • joroi tsuki anochishimo reto akoro muro arosihitrereo!!

  • i miss playing this game......its a shame i cant find it at any gamestore, i might have to resort to Ebay, and i loved every story to it, i always tried getting the perfect ending.

  • Man this game was great..... i remember staying at my grand parents home with my ps2 and picked this game up,.. it was very cheap but worth it

  • I found this game for 5 dollars yesterday after renting it years ago. It has aged well.

  • one of my favorite games. i love it cause its so simple.

  • what orchestra is playing in this?

  • Comment removed

  • This is just one of many reasons why I still play my PS2 instead of my PS3, games that are underrated....it's an awesome game.

    Just think of a remake...but nothing as drastic as Ninja Gaiden or Tenchu

  • Dude, you should get Way of the Samurai 3. I've had it for over 4 weeks. It's amazing, I love the plot and the game play is simply phenomenal!!! Also the graphics have sharply improved from what they were in the first game 10 fold. Go ahead and pic it up at game stop or online. Because it's well worth it if you love the Way of the Samurai series.

    *sigh* it's a shame not that many people can appreciate it like I can.

  • What system is it for?

    If it's a great game I'm going on Ebay right now to buy it :)

    Thanks for the advice bro :)

  • "If it's a great game" he says. Here's to sum it up for you, I HAVE NOT STOPPED PLAYING THIS GAME AFTER 5 WEEKS STRAIGHT!!!

    Unlike Way of the Samurai 2, they took Way of the Samurai 3 back to how great it was in the first game. It's for the PS3!

    You won't be disappointed with WOTS3. If you love the first game, than be prepared, because Way of the Samurai 3 will be your new crack!

  • @Batou2006 Well 3 is pretty good.

  • @Batou2006 I'm acctually playing Tenchu to this music... makes it so fun and makes me play better. A remake would be epic... this game is just epic the way it is, though

  • i love this game!

  • what year does this take place?

    (the boshin war?)

  • The story of the game takes place in 1878.

    It's not the same story as in the last samurai.

  • 1878 huh? Then if I remember my history correctly, then that is time is during the "meiji restorarion" period right?

  • "1878 huh? Then if I remember my history correctly, then that is time is during the "meiji restorarion" period

    right?"

    That's right

  • Wasn't the boshin war of that time period between the whats left of the tokugawa shogunate and the imperial forces?

    (looked up on wikipedia)

  • Well the "Boshin War" was fought from 1868 to 1869 between forces of the ruling Tokugawa shogunate and those seeking to return political power to the imperial court.

    From what I''ve read this game takes place during the "Satsuma Rebellion" which was a revolt of Satsuma ex-samurai against the Meiji government from January 29, 1877 to September 24,1877, 11 years into the Meiji Era.

    I think this game is off by one year.

  • thanks.... I guess I got the years all mixed up

  • Wow, this is quite the history lesson! :)

  • same story as "the last samurai"

  • I loved this game! I would always play as the yellow guy and name him "Honda."

  • i have this game & sword of the samurai & i like them both but sword of the samurai is abit better althaugh i haven't tried all swords in this one. but its fun too lol that dona dona Jimmy hendrix guy i really like beating the shit out of him & the Akadama clan :)

  • $500 in youtube money to the one who tells me the exact name of the song in this vid!

  • what is this song i own the game, but whats the song!??

  • Ironically I just purchased this and number two. I loved this game (only rented it six times lol) but never actually bought it, so now I bought it and number two. Can't wait for WOS 3 to come to america (if it ever does.)

  • I AGREE!! i need a ps3 i dont give damn if its japinese i love samurais and ninjas!!!!

    way of the samurai is as good as samurai western and tenchu!!!!

  • watching this makes me regret selling it...

  • This game rocks. I'm glad to see more people agree me.

  • The 2nd WOTS was good but I prefer the 1st. The surroundings felt more alive such that you didn't have to be around for the story to progress.

  • Dude I liked the 1st better than the 2nd one. 2nd takes to freakin long to load, and having to put your sword in a safe after ur inventory is full which so inconvenient. I heard they gonna make this game on psp also; hope it will be in stores soon.

  • I strongly agree. This game is so underrated!

  • yeah it seems like the first one has more meaning too it then the second one

  • way of the samurai 3 is in the works for the ps3...i think, maybe it's done already. wots1 & 2 are both good and rare games, be happy you have atleast any.

  • is this game as good as tenchu?

  • There used to be GameShark hacks that would let you play as in-game characters like Kitcho, that was truly badass.

  • i like the black dude.when he takes out his sword,hes like dancing back and fourth XD

  • man the characters in the second game sux compared to the ones in the first game

  • Nice video! I remember back when I played this game... I got all endings xD

  • I cant even buy this game in english version anymore =__= DAM!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • my favs song n also the game kick ass! 2thumbs up!

  • *whistles theme*

  • i liked the game, but i kept getting bad endings. in all the endings i got,the goverment took over in the end...

  • you have to unite the Akadama and the Korou so that they can overpower the government

  • ohh plzz sombody who can find this stuff look up if there is a 3rd coming out

  • i heard that iy got canceled due to something with the guy who designed it or something

  • one of the developer moved to capcom so the game was cancel but what i know they try to make the 3rd one possible from what i know.i hope it come true.

  • btw does anyone know what this song is called?

  • This shore, I believe...

  • DAAAMN i just searched what you guys said about the third and its cancelled can someone look it up to see if i was wrong??? God i hope they come out with the third!

  • I agree a third one, that was online, would be awesome

  • i love this game and opening also the 2nd but i didnt know there was a third out

  • I don't know why but I catch myself humming this at school a lot... And I love how they mix techno with the lady's beautiful voice!

    Great game... I rented it, but I want to buy it and the third!!!

  • I agree, it was a completely underrated game, and something that had never been done before. With the superior engines in the newer consoles, it would be a shame to let this series go without a third. Let's just hope it doesn't go down the same way as the kengo series....the 360 game is awful.

  • is there a soundtrack of this game? i like the music there, and also on way of the samurai 2

  • Google Galbadia Hotel, search W. Be sure to dl WoTS2's version, too, it's even better.

  • I found in that website, so awesome :D

  • Glad there's a youtube vid on this... My game always freeze right when the guy was seen in the distance...at 00:21. I tought it was some slooooow loading bar, when the guy slowly made his way to the front ;>.>

  • love this song, could never find it on limewire

  • I agree that the game was underrated. I like the swordplay and branching storyline. There were some glaring flaws like limited exploration and an unforgiving save system, but not enough to ruin the experience.

  • Honestly There are parts of Kengo I like and parts of Way of the Samurai I like. The various blades and special moves always are nice in Way of the Samurai but I like how you can switch stances in Kengo. Also I love the storyline in the Way of the Samurai series. It was very poetic unlike Kengo.

    I sincerely hope there is a third in the series.

  • i cant lie i hate and love this game at the same time and the opening its just so raw

  • tmpbitu shut ur mouth this is one of the

    best game created u say that because ur a noob

    u suck

    this game provide free roaming and alot of special

    weopons, sword fighting skills and all

    way better then way of samurai 2

  • i definitely agree with u man n u rock n i love both of this game

  • i wish this was the second game with more improvements

  • This is still one of my favorite games. The sequel is, as well. And I love the opening song. Glad I finally found a site with the song file on it.

  • Which site was this may I ask? =D

  • downloads (Dot) khinsider (Dot) com Songs are split into alphabetical order by game, so just go to the W section for Way of the Samurai. This song is called "The Shore" and should be the first one on the list.

  • Thanks a lot :D

  • I have to say i'm still hooked on this game, i love developing every sword i own, the game is so indepth. And if i could as a fav. if anyone knoews how i can get my hands on this song i would be forever greatful

  • i wish they made an online vertion for PS2 T_T

  • my most favorite thing was that you could double-cross the 2 main samurai clans in the game.

  • I miss this game. Great memories for me, definitely. And the intro still holds its own!

  • no cuz you fight the aoto gangs first boss in this one you fight honzaemon takanuma in the second game (second gang leader)

  • I think that second part sends a big message.

    way of the samurai 2 is actually the earlier period then this ones

  • kenji is WAY cooler than mifume

  • this game is for ps2 right? can't find it anywere. damnit. played number2 for quite a wile no.

  • This game is so fucking fun, I loved standing on those towers in that zone by the river and doing that baseball bat swing move to all the dumbasses that climb up after me. And this is deff one of the few games ive played that has a soul, it does a great job at conveying its message. All other WotS games after this are crap by commparison.

  • lol the singing is like the exact same just sped up in number 2

  • does anyone know the name of the song in the into to this game and to number two? I like it a lot and this game is amazing as well.

  • The song title is "This Shore" by Noriyuki Asakura.

  • Ah, yes. I remember I loved that game very much because

    it has SPIRIT and a lot of ATMOSPHERE.

  • I didn't buy Way of the Samurai cos that guy with the afro looks like jimmy hendrix and doesn't fit in the game

  • The first way of the samurai was well done. The 2nd wasn't all that great because it just seemed to corny from the first and plus the endings didn't seem as epic and interesting as the 1st ones were. I really hope they don't put voices in the the 3rd.

  • This game is fxxxing hillarious.. It's GTA in ancient Japan, you can get a blacksmith to fix your stuff, then kill him instead of paying him, then you can steal his weapon and use it to beat down an innocent girl and her paralyzed grandpa in her house.

  • i prefer the second one more. still a good game though

  • Second isn't as good, wheres the sickle or Naganita?

  • Good God I loved this game.

  • I love this game! I used to play this and two all the time. Samurai Western was alright, I didn't get into it like the first two.

  • I agree. This game is one of the best I have ever played. Two is as good as well, it just takes longer to get into.

  • This game is <3. x3

  • I loved Way of the Samurai, enjoyed the vid thanks.  I agree, this is completely underrated.

  • Ya,you can.

  • i have Way Of The Samurai 2 and you will choose your own story how about this one?

  • Just bought this online.
