Way of the Samurai 3 (Xbox 360)

Step into the story and play as good or evil. Way of the Samurai 3 is the canonical sequel
of the Way of the Samurai series, a series famous for its high level of freedom and giving players free rein over their own play style.In addition to the various systems that made the previous titles so popular, Way of the Samurai 3 offers several new systems, including a Sudden Battle System that allows players to draw swords, even during in-game events, an Original Blade Creation System that allows players to combine parts to create an original sword, and a Companion System that allows players to select the woman of their choice to live with.

Movement and Time: Players can now either walk from place to place or travel instantly between areas by using the map. If you use the map, time will wind fast forward

Companion: Players can get a henchwoman who will follow the main character around to help him. Your female companion might agree to join you at the "safe house" if you are polite enough

Combat: Over 100 weapons in the game, including swords, spears, and even some novelty weapons like sticks, vegetables and fish. Players now can press L2 to kneel down and beg for mercy, as well as NPCs if they are losing the fight

Jobs and Mini-games: Players can do jobs for any of the three sides. Working for one side will increase the main character's popularity with that side, and terrorising them will make them hate him instead
