Samurai Warriors 2
Date undefinedKoei's warrior series has always been as basic as they come, and with each sequel the gameplay would improove as well as the graphics. With Samurai Warriors 2, this is no exception, Faster gameplay more characters and better graphics than the orginal, and still has things to offer a player who is into the beatem-up gamestyle
Overall if you enjoy Samurai Warriors 1 or any of the Dynasty Warrior games, than getting this will just add to the fun and playing the updated versions are always more enjoyable, so why not give it a shot :D

Date undefinedIf you enjoy Dynasty Warriors you SHOULD GET Samurai Warriors. I love that they now have a shop where you can purchase weapon upgrades, bodyguards, etc. You also collect gold in the story mode which is a lot of fun if you are playing w/ two players because you can compete to get more gold/weapons. I also enjoy that there are different moves and you can learn more as you go along. My only knock is I have to unlock Musashi Miyamoto, but I guess that's part of the fun.
Samurai Warriors 2
Date undefinedWhen I played the first Samurai Warriors and found little differences from the DW series. I expected the game play to be much of the same but the character development and combos were almost identical. I was hesitating to get the second one especially since I played through Dynasty Warriors 5 and thought I done with the series. I was surprised by this game and have found that it has brought back some life to this old hack & slash game play.
Character development is probably the biggest change and improvement. They put more emphasis on gaining levels and now you to buy your skills, allowing for some customization. Overall character development has an action RPG feel which is a plus in my book.
Although combo execution remains simple they do expand giving characters more variety in their attacks. The improvements in the combos and special moves have added more distinction to each character. It no longer feels you are using the same person who is holding a different weapon.
Unfortunately some things haven't changed:
>The look of the environments haven't really improved
>I have found that objectives on the map appear and shift a little more aggressively than in DW5 but the overall flow of battle still feels the same.
>More life has been seen in the main characters but no change noted in the mindless masses.
If you are new to the series and you are into these types of button mashing games I recommend that you skip DW and go straight for this one. If you are a DW dinosaur like I am and are looking for something to bring light back into the series I recommend this to you as well.
