Spike began today round two of a campaign that asks fans to make a commercial for Way of the Samurai 3.

As with part 1 of the campaign, fans have been asked to create a commercial for the recently released PS3 sequel making use of materials handed out by Spike or using their very own materials. Completed videos must be submitted to Nico Nico Video before filling out an application form at the Way of the Samurai 3 official site.

Part one of the campaign gave winners the honor of having their entry posted at the Way of the Samurai 3 official site. This time around, Spike is offering a cash prize of 500,000 yen.

Phase two of the commercial campaign runs from November 18 through January 13, 2009.

The latest entry in Spike and Acquire's Samurai series is shown in these screenshots distributed today by Spike. The game hit retail last week and is expected to place highly in the weekly sales charts.
