Author's Review
Though his blades are kind of cool weaponry, you almost start to depend on Akuji’s spells to clear an area before you enter. If you want some challenge, try doing it all just mano a mano, it might give you an additional two or three hours’ worth of play.

Yes, yet again, a 3D adventure falls prey to the same old blunders that we’ve all grown to hate. I would have suggested that the designers take this game to a more comedic level, perhaps even pursuing the side of it for some laughs (though in a sensitive, PC manner, of course...sigh). As it stands, Akuji tries to be dark and epic, and just looks like an overly bloody kiddie-cartoon. What’s worse is that it plays like a kids' game as well, so Crystal should count its lucky stars it managed to get a Teen rating here. Oh, and just in case you’re wondering, the Soul Reaver demo is the same, skimpy one-level thing that they packaged along with Unholy War all those months ago. All this suspense is just killing me!
