Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man).

"Right after getting back to Japan, [Miyamoto] suddenly said: "You know we're including golf now." Apparently he'd stated in an interview that this time round golf shots would be determined by the backswing, even though at that time a golf game didn't exist in any shape or form!"

http://www2.acquire.co.jp/games.php?TimelineID=2 Look. All I'm saying is Acquire's clearly working on the english language version. ALL I WANT IS PUBLISHER CONFIRMATION!!!! I mean, it looks like I won't have to import it, at least. But still! Slake my thirst dudes!! In lieu of a press release, here's some stuff about sword crafting that I lifted from the Wikipedia article: Swords and Spears Like in previous games, you can enhance your swords' stats and value (like durability) by visiting Dojima the swordsmith. In addition to that, Way of the Samurai 3 will be the first installment in the series to allow players to build their own original katana or spears by collecting parts like handles, blades, handguards, caps, etc, and bringing them to the blacksmith. Players then can name their new unique weapon and can even assign moves to it. According to the official blog, there are around 200 original parts and more than 750 moves to choose from. {update} And then, then the next day MegaStryke found a listing of Way of the Samurai 3 for the 360. And there was MUCH REJOICING!!

I should probably check this out. What action series is it most similar to? Is it like a fleshed out Onimusha 2?
Yeah, Kengo was my first PS2 game. Bushido Blade it most certainly was not, to say the least.
What action series is it most similar to? See that's kinda tricky. Sword fighting is fairly simple. Side/medium and overhead/hard buttons, plus a block and a modifier/kick button. Blocking works on a balancing parry system, depending on if you and/or the opponent is blocking/attacking while pushing toward or away from each other. There's also special moves based on twitch blocking, but, that's pretty much not even required (and I've never mastered it) Its a little bit hack-n-slashy, but with a nice amount of depth if you really want to get into it.
So, action-wise, its a little Onimusha with a serious blocking/counter system.
But then there's different moves for each sword, and random skill ups for learning new moves, and watching sword durability (swords break), not to mention the RPG-ish elements...
I sound like a complete fanboy, but its really unlike anything else.
No, it's understandable that you'd say it's a unique experience. My wife says all my action games are the same, and I ferociously protest.
After looking at a few reviews/impressions, it seems like a must-own. The "create your own story" bit has me sold, as does the deep counter system.
One of the many reasons I love Destructoid is because of blogs like this. I adore a few specific genres, and randomly, due to these posts, I'm exposed to games I missed, and should have picked up back in the day.
Cue stream of consciousness rant:
Personally, I find the PS2 to be the absolute king of action games. My collection is growing and growing, but I have at least 30 more action titles I need to pick up, including this one, which coincidentally, is $6. The day Gamestop exiles PS2 games, I will weep.
