Customer Reviews

Why change if people keep buying?
Sure Koei keeps releasing the same game with new skins and slight game play variation every few months. If you played one Koei game and liked it, chances are you'll like any Koei game. I've played roughly 6 of the various Warriors games (Samurai, Dynasties, Orochi, etc..) and they are pretty much the same game over and over. You start off with a goal like say, save all the peasants, and then mow down 100's of enemies getting that goal completed. Repeat until the end. That said, I like them. Don't ask me why. They are just mindless button mashers. I love leveling up characters and every one has plenty of characters to level up. Try one out, if you enjoy it, pick up some of the others. Most older ones can be had cheap now, and since there's not much difference between the old and the new, you'll get the idea how the games play and save some $$ doing it.

Mindless Fun
There's just something fun about being a superhero surrounded my regular people. The plot is about as thick as rain and the story translates worse than a '80s Jackie Chan movie, but the game is just a lot of fun. It's just pure, repetitive, button mashing fun. I think it's because you're this super-powerful guy that makes it entertaining, and the level-up/improvement system along with ever increasing difficulties keeps you coming back for more.

Fast paced gameplay with strategy elements - totally fun

Is this a great game?
nope.

Is this a game you will play years later?
nope.

Is this a game that is fun to play after a long day (or week) at work?
You bet!

This game still lags like it did on the PS2.
I haven't noticed much improvement since it moved to the next gen. consoles.
The PSP version of this plays identical.

So why do I love it so much?
There is nothing like jumping into a village with a sword 10 feet long and slicing up a couple hundred soldiers. This is hack-and-slash gaming at it's best. The pop-up is bummer, but not a deal breaker.

My fav' part of the game is actually handled in the menu pre-fight set up. You have to fuse your warriors weapons together. There are so many elements to add, you really have to think it out. You never seen to have enough money to do everything, so it keeps you interested in the game. You are constantly trying to build up to the ultimate warrior. Once you get the weapon going, you can still add "abilities" to the warriors. This extra element adds even more strategy. The management of your players skills and weapons is just a blast!

This is a fun game to play.
Not epic, but damn fun!
