Onimusha 2 or Mark of Kri?

I am about to purchase a playstation 2 and want to buy one of these games to go with it. Which one should I get?

I have yet to play either, but a contributing factor may be that Mark of Kri is $39.99 (some mark it up to $49.99 which is wrong) and Onimusha 2 is the regular price.

I haven't played Onimusha 2, but I like Mark of Kri way better than the first Onimusha.

This is a bit confusing. I take it to be only if you get the strategy guide ($10 off). That is how I take it anyway.

Nope. It's $39.99 and if you buy the strategy guide you get another $10 off both according to the Ad.

I've played both and they're both about the same. it's really interesting and cool in the beginning and then it gets kind of repetitive then at the end it gets interesting again. With the Mark of Kri you get to sneak up people like Thief. With Onimusha 2 the movies are killer and the graphics as well. The Mark of kri has nice graphics as well. I think both game took me about 12 hours to beat.

not enough yet!!!

For Onimusha you don't need a Guide!! This Game is self guiding. I needed a guide for Halo because of the maps and stuff but this game is not like that.

Onimusha 2 is probably better. I think Devil May Cry is better than Onimusha, unless you really get off on the samurai thing. However, I wouldn't suggest you get any of these if you only have the scratch for one game.

The best game to get, if you're only getting one, is, of course, GTA3. You'll get an easy 50 hours of gameplay out of that, at the least, and it's all quality, all fun.

There are also some great $19.99 Greatest Hits titles you should get. Gran Turismo 3 and Twisted Metal Black spring immediately to mind.

Also, the network adapter is out today. That and Madden or SOCOM could probably provide a lot of fun, if you have broadband.

Whatever you pick, enjoy.

Onimusha 2 is AMAZING!!!!!!! I have only played it for about 10 minutes (I have to finish Max Payne before I get into this) And it was stunning.

Mark or Kri was dry IMO.

I saw it at Software Etc. today. Best Buy usually gets new titles on Thursday or Friday. I wonder if they have a distribution problem with this particular game?

I havent played mark or kri yet, but onimusha 2 is a VERY good game, I never played the first but i beat the heck out of devil may cry, and now im beating the heck out of oni2, this game is fun and addictive ~ only downsides are the crap ass dialogue (resident evil style), and resident evil- like controls, I got over both rather quickly, I highly recommend oni2 if you like dmc.
