Samurai Warriors: Katana provides a first-person perspective and delivers arcade-style action. Armed with your motion-sensitive Wii Remote, journey back in time to do battle as a lethal samurai.

Multiple different modes include Musou mode, trial mode, and vs. mode. Musou mode takes you on an adventure through Feudal Japan. On each mission, samurai and allies will serve as your guide. Prevent pirates from invading your ships, rescue maidens from a burning castle, and explore caverns. These missions require quick reflexes, fast thinking, and precision marksmanship. Trial mode helps samurai-in-training prepare for battle in Musou mode. You can also earn gold in this mode that will help you on your quest in Musou mode. Vs. mode pits you versus a friend in head-to-head competition in eight mini-games.

Features:

  • You are the hero in a tale of Japanese history
  • Prepare to run and dodge your way past traps and ride on horseback
  • Arm yourself with eight different weapons and fight waves of enemy samurai and ninja
  • Purchase additional items at the in-game store

GARBAGE!!!!1
Don't waste a dime on this!!! Not very realistic and you don't even you the remote to slash. You point and the enemy with the remote and then press a button to cut them...WHAT A WASTE OF WII TECHNOLOGY!!! Wait for RED STEEL 2! :)

Much Worse Than the PS II Version!2
Though the Samurai Warriors games have never been particularly sophisticated, they've always been straightforward fun slashing games with some unique storylines and fun twists. For the Wii version they updated the fighting for use with the remote and nunchuck, but took away freedom of movement and cooperative modes which is a real tragedy. Half the fun of this game was in exploring the stages and figuring out where the enemy is. Taking away that aspect leaves everything else pretty boring, although the vs. modes are much better than following the storyline. Skip this game unless they come out with a new version where they let you move!

It's pretty good5
Lots of people say that this game is horrible and stuff... But don't listen to them. At the core of this game you find a loveable on-th-rails hack n' slasher. True that there are lots of problems with this game, but everything else makes up for them.
