This was a "impulse" purchase of sorts. I've become somewhat attached to this series over the years, despite not even particularly liking it. The original concept was brilliant at the time (bikini cowgirl slashing zombies with katana), while the execution left much to be desired. It wasn't much of an issue when the game was a $20 PS2 budget title. Once the series moved to 360 the price and expectations rose, while the quality stayed on about the same level as before. I hoped that this semi-reboot could be a legitimate game, since the core concept alone wasn't floating the series anymore. While it has been polished up, this is still an Onechanbara game unfortunately. Definitely not worth the asking price to import, but a localized version for $9.99 would be good for a few laughs. First print run came with some fun bonuses.
