Oneechanbara Vortex is the 3rd game in the series, the previous titles being released on the PS2, this is its debut on another console.
The story is a simple one, a zombie outbreak occurs leaving our heroines to hack and slash their way through level after level of zombie hordes, collecting orbs from the dead bodies which can be used later to buy power-ups for your character. Gameplay is very simple, and is often likened to Dead or Alive meets Resident Evil. The game is good button-mashing ultra-violent stress relief.
The 2 previous titles in the series were never released outside of Japan.
for TAIWAN users The Onechanbara download contents on XBOX LIVE (Taiwan) cannot be used for VorteX. They can only be used for Onechanbara:Bikini Samurai Squad. Please notice this!
Why? This is a simple game, do not expect for quite impressive graphics or even a refined play, here you press buttons in the same sequence forever, or until the game lasts.

The Game is Amazing ok well first off everything is in japanese which makes the gameplay a little difficult at first but within no time you'll be hacking and slashing through the levels. there are 20 levels all together and about 5 cut scenes in between which add up to nothing because its all in japanese.... the achievements range from: completing a level without getting hit to defeating a boss with 1 hit point left! very easy if you know what your doing and rather difficult if you dont.... there is also a dress up mode where you can create new costumes for your 3 characters and the more achievements you get the more clothes you unlock! there is also a survival mode which is a non stop battle and gets rather annoying about 10-15 levels in.... other than that when I got this game is was excited/frustrated trying to understand the gameplay but now as a master of the game I think its the best on the market for a button mashing slasher!

Sexy fanservice game! Who can say no to girls versus zombies? The game is in Japanese but it's pretty easy to figure out with simple menus and controls. The characters control pretty well and the animations are good. It's pretty easy to chop up enemies and the gameplay is fast and satisfying for some bloody stress relief. Lots of fan service for the sexy girls and the unlockable outfits... nothing beats taking on evil in a bikini. Enjoyable guilty pleasure gaming that is surprisingly good even for the cheezy premise. For anime and otakus, highly recommended!

Not soooo bad, but... ...gameplay is ok, is fun, but there are 20 stages that look all the same. In fact, they're the same... ohhhh... also, the cutscenes are awful, without any animation... this game would be fantastic if it was part of the "simple 2000 series" or else for the 360, but not at $64.90... maybe 39.90 ?? No, no, no, it's still too much...
Anyway, if you want some fun and your money is not short, purchase it and you'll not regret. But if it's not the case...

Sexy Girls but Improvements Needed I love the characters and their sexy outfits in this game. However, the action and camera are not designed well compared to other hack-and-slash games.

Chix with Attitude These are the nasty chicks your mother warned you about. The butt-bangin' sex pots who will slice and dice for 1/2 the price. Better get your credit cards and cash in a good hiding spot. They'll be gone soon, when these hot bangers show up!
Enjoy!

No regret buying this game Even though I did not understand the conversation, the premise of the game is simple, lovely (almost nude) babes dish out extreme punishment via swords and guns on lumbering zombies, and uber cool female bosses (esp love the last boss, old woman which turns into a ...hehe). Got to play it urself to find out!

Very Average Game I've just finished playing through this game and while I wasn't expecting much after playing the previous Oneechan titles I did have my hopes up when this title was released for the Xbox360. Well, how those hopes were dashed... This game really doesn't deserve to be on the 360 in the state it is in. Graphically it IS a better made than the PS2 titles but they are weak for what the 360 is capabable of. The zombies look pathetic. If you want to play a zombie game involving lots of violence and gore, get Dead Rising, which is a far superior game. If you want to see curvey girls, buy Playboy. Only if you really want to see a girl in a bikini slice up a zombie should you buy this game, and even then, it gets old real fast.
