Onimusha 3: Demon Siege is the third chapter of the Onimusha saga in Playstation 2.
Samanosuke Akechi (Takeshi Kaneshiro) destroys the monsterous army in Japan 1582. In Modern-Day Paris 2004, Jacques Blanc (Voiced by Jean Reno) goes in his bike to help his friend Phillipe (the name Phillipe is part of the name of Jean Reno's character Phillipe Roache in Roland Emmerich's Godzilla in 1998). The monsterous army invades Paris' Arc de Triomphe location. Back in Japan 1582, Samanosuke is given a red armor, Samanosuke wears it and fights his way to the Honnoji Temple on fire. Samanosuke battles Ranmaru Mori (Joshua Keaton), when Ranmauru is killed, Samanosuke fights Nobunaga, Samanosuke didn't fight him, a hole shows up on the floor, Samanosuke disappears after the hole disappears. The french military fights the monsters (It turns out that they're from 1582). The soldiers won't hold them for long, Phillipe is wounded, Jacques appears in a bike (doing a stunt), the bike goes down and Jacques bails out, letting the bike go down on the ground killing the monsters, Jacques battles the monsters. Samanosuke appears from the hole, now we see he's in the ground. He gets up (He's in the Paris Alleyway), he's in the 2004 alleyway of Paris, in the location where Jacques Blanc is shooting the monsters. Jacques Blanc runs out of ammo, now he and Phillipe are ambushed, but Samanosuke stops them. Samanosuke asks Jacques Blanc where they are, but Jacques asks Samanosuke who he is, Samanosuke didn't answer. The hole (turns out that it's the same hole that appeared in the ground Samanosuke is in on the Honnoji Temple) appears in the ground Jacques and Phillipe are in, Jacques, Phillipe and the hole disappear. Now that Samanosuke is alone. He fights the monsters then goes to The Arc de Triomphe because he saw something in the roof. Samanosuke makes his way near the Arch. He goes underground of the arch, given a Tenso weapon, he goes back up, Michelle and the soldiers surround Samanosuke, the soldiers go inside the arch. Later, Samanosuke reaches the roof and asks the monster where they are, the monster tells Samanosuke that they're in Paris, 500 years after his Warring of the Country. Samanosuke destroys Brainstern, a robot. Jacques Blanc and Phillipe are in 16th century Japan. Jacques Blanc (In the next next location) meets another Samanosuke. Later and later and later and later (Skipped). Samanosuke will save Paris from destruction and Jacques Blanc will stop Nobunaga in the 16th century and return to his time. Landmarks in Paris that are featured as levels: Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, Mont-Saint-Michel and Eiffel Tower.
Technical
Onimusha 3 is the first game in the series to use the analog sticks (besides as a button) and real-time rendered 3D environments instead of static background images.
Continuation
Although Capcom stated on several occasions that Onimusha 3 would be the end of the series, the ending seems to indicate another game revolving around sealing the power of Samanosuke's soul collector. Indeed, a new Onimusha game entitled "Shin Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams" has been announced, although it's story hasn't yet been revealed.
