   A bit gory but a great all around game.

   How many times does Rachel appear in the game? In the cutscenes?
3. colonel2link October 17, 2009

   Yes, only in the cutscenes. So about…5 times? I don't really remember. She's not a very constant character, and cutscenes take up very little time compared to gameplay.

   Thank you Colonol Link. Really appreciate it. And how do you avoid beheading? Not that I'll care too deeply when it comes to the monsters.
5. colonel2link October 18, 2009

   You can't really avoid it. It's just one of the many things that might happen to the enemy when your attacking it.
6. Brandon November 19, 2009

   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?)

   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?
8. colonel2link November 21, 2009

   Not as far as I know. There are many combos in the game, but beheading isn't really something you can do at will.
9. colonel2link November 21, 2009

   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.

    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!

    man i love this game… though i wish the blood wasn’t there

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

    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…
