I have beaten this game about 3-4 times.
I dislike games with blood and gore, this game is the only one i own that has those 2 things.
The violence is rather heavy until about the 6th of 7th level i wouldn’t say it’s hardcore gore but there is allot of blood.
you can avoid some of it by using the nunchaku and lunar staff (after you upgrade the staff it causes blood damage).
Also the decapitations can be avoided as there are only certain moves that cause them (about 40% of the dragon swords moves do e.g “flying swallow” .
This game also moves INCREDIBLY fast, so fast that allot of the time you don’t even see the enemies vaporize.
In conclusion, the only reason why i own this game is cause I’m big on sword play, i dislike games with blood and even though there are ways around it i don’t play this game very often anymore. I’m not christian, but i agree with the christian stance on gaming.
Bottom line: If your christian i do NOT recommend this game.

Okay, so I need to reiterate. First: I've been doing some thinking on the subject and came to the conclusion that it's okay to play a game where you battle soulless or spiritless creatures. That's just fine. The thing that made me say "NO!" to the game was Alma, who, incidentally, doesn't wear any pants of any kind…

Well, look at the bright side. At least the stuff disappears really fast. Just don't get Gaiden 2. Stick to Gaiden or Black.

The only way you can really avoid it is by using the wooden sword.. but if you upgrade it completely it will have beheading abilities. Enjoy!

The staff is only available in the Black version of the game (better graphics, more weapons, etc). But as far as I know it still draws blood. And there is simply no way to avoid seeing blood in the game; even if the staff is bloodless, you are forced to use other weapons during the game and, frankly, the game would stink without its weapon variety.

Not as far as I know. There are many combos in the game, but beheading isn't really something you can do at will.

Can you use the staff at the beginning of the game? I noticed on youtube there is no blood. Is that true? And if so, is there any other weapon that has the same properties?

Rats. Well, maybe I will get the game. Dunno. Perhaps it's safer to stick to MKTrilogy. Thank you though.
P.S. Isn't there a particular input of commands you have to do to behead? (e.g. x-y-xx, or something like that?)

You can't really avoid it. It's just one of the many things that might happen to the enemy when your attacking it.
