I understood it that summons like Gamabunta were like shikigami; spirits with whom the person has a contract. The summoning and commanding of shikigami is part and parcel of the practice of onmyou in old Japan. But the bijuu are youma; they're kinda like demons or monsters.
Mainly, it was boring, but so original. When you fight the bosses, then you have a HELL of a lot of fun, but the fact that there's absolutely NO story until the end bothers me... but boy, what a frikin ending story that was. I thought it was incredible. It lasts for about 15 minutes, too.
I enjoyed it, especially the little snippets they would show and the slow transformation of your character as he killed the colossi which led you to wonder what the deal was. The ending was indeed awesome though ^^. The first one was fun but I liked dealing with the two dogs alot, they were so cute XD.

The first airborne fight was the best.
