WHAT'S THE STORY? An unlikely meeting of feudal Japan and modern-day Paris, this time round action hero Jean Reno (out of Leon) teams up with homegrown star Takeshi Kaneshiro. They must vanquish a shedload of demons and sort out the anomaly in the time difference (about half a millennium). Armed with a mixed bag of weapons, you switch between characters in a series of lush environments.

TECHNICALLY SPEAKING? Third person action-adventure.

PLAYS LIKE? Onimusha 1 & 2, Resident Evil.

WORTH STAYING IN FOR? If you can bear the risible voice-acting and unfathomable story
