Wonderful game: played it a lot.
But actually I think the Genesis version is much better, from a graphical point of view anyway.
I just love Koei games - even if in this one the gazillion of characters are not very different from each other...but I loved some nice touches as the unlucky sailor, Dante I think, who ends up dead almost in every game I play!

You are free to do almost everything, even if there's a time limit.
A superb game, anyway: sorry for my crappy English, but I just HAD to say it.
