"There's a laundry list of small problems one could present to prove that this isn't a good game by modern metrics, but despite all of the minor annoyances, it's just fun to play (once the player learns the game's mechanics, at any rate). In terms of polish and content, Onechanbara can't compete with the greats of the genre like DMC or Ninja Gaiden. In terms of raw gameplay, it absolutely can and does. Whether being 20 dollars cheaper, loads of camp, and constantly jiggling boobs can bridge that gap is up to the player. Fans of the genre will absolutely get their money's worth, provided they read the online guide, but other players will not be as forgiving with the game's faults or unapologetic trashiness."

"This trailer has got to be the WORST TRAILER I have ever seen in my life. How the hell did this trailer get approved?"
lol i agree, the girls are hella hot BUT man those zombie wanna be's are wack!
This video was part of an ad campaign; it isn't really a trailer. Also, I think the tongue-in-cheek humor of the vids complements the game perfectly.
However, it has long been myth that videogames featuring buxom young starlets cannot feature other redeeming qualities – few would knock Lara Croft's first adventure, the Dead or Alive series has become a staple in the Beat-'Em-Up genre and there's quite a bit of anticipation building for the forthcoming WET. So what else does Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers have to offer the European Wii owner? Zombies, of course: and lots of them.
Onechabara: Bikini Zombie Slayers is a good old fashioned hack n' slash reminiscent of the button mashers of old, except here you're swinging your arms like a nut. It's a nice light arm workout and it's easily the best in the Oneechanbara series…even if D3 of America misspelled the series' romaji. Whoops. At thirty dollars, this may not be the best zombie killing or M rated game to come out for the Wii, but it's still a great buy for the buck and I heartily recommend it as one of the best titles I've played for the Wii from a third party publisher in quite some time.
