Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
For anyone who thought attacks couldn't get any more devastating and spectacular than a fully charged Musou, think again! Samurai Warriors 2 now gives you the chance to max out your Musou gauge not once, not twice, but an incredible three times, adding an exciting and all-new element of strategy to the gameplay. Players can now choose between saving up for a devastating three-bar attack, or using smaller attacks at more frequent intervals.
Another new element of strategy is the character-specific special abilities. Each character now possesses all-new special attacks that can be triggered using the R1 button. Combine R1 with the face buttons to set traps, generate decoys, and more, to unleash even greater battlefield carnage.
The variety of enemy forces has been vastly augmented over previous iterations of the series, making for a rich and diverse visual spectacle. Character art has been enhanced, enabling easier recognition of individual soldiers, while the range of character reactions has also been greatly expanded. Enemies also offer a greater diversity of attacks, with different squads preferring to attack in their own particular style, making each encounter unique and unpredictable.
Levelling up has always been a big part of the Samurai Warriors experience, and a complete revamp of the system will now allow players to level up within a battle in real time. Reap the benefits of your play instantaneously and unleash new abilities without pausing the action! Exclusive new skills can even be learned by defeating the enemy officers you meet on the field of battle.
A brand new mode, Sugoroku, based on the traditional Japanese board game of the same name, is a game within the game that offers players a unique and innovative experience. The Sugoroku board hides a number of head-to-head challenges players must face as they vie for control of the board. For up to four players, Sugoroku delivers a deep and innovative challenge that combines the sword-wielding action of the main game with the traditional Japanese board game experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars
great fun... but more of the same,
By chelsea_lad06 "Cybernator_uk" (England) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Samurai Warriors 2 (PS2) (Video Game)
Both myself and a friend own a copy of this game. All i will say about this game is fantastic. If you liked the first Samurai warriors or Dynasty warriors then you will like this. Great fun hacking and slashing.
Quick briefing on the game The game itself is set in fudal Japan and you get to play as several different characters and follow different stories about what happened. Once you start playing this you wont be able to put it down. This game is fun but why does it only get 4 stars??? The only thig that lets it down is the naff voice overs. I am lucky enough to own the japanese version and it doesnt compare in any other language. everything else is fantastic All in all if you dont have it why not???

4.0 out of 5 stars
Best in the Warriors series, but VERY poor voices,
By Nagahide "Nagahide" (London, England) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Samurai Warriors 2 (PS2) (Video Game)
This is definitely the best game made in the entire 'Warriors' series by Koei (and similar games by other companies...!). There is much more to do than in any previous games (Dynasty & Samurai Warriors) and it's much more of a challenge; levelling up is much harder as you must earn your new skills by defeating enemy officers or buying them in the shop. The shop is also where you can buy bodyguards, horses and upgrade existing weapons. You earn gold by going into battle, playing good-old survival mode and the new game, Sugoroku which is a bit like monopoly - taking land to earn gold. Survival Mode, for anyone that didn't have the 1st game, is basically a test for your character to see how long you can last in an infinite castle. This too is filled with various missions and completing certain ones will unlock a familiar face for owners of the 1st game, as well as some very special bodyguards.
They still have the mission completion system, and the smooth integration between the field and castles is great. The maps are clearer, more varied and the environments on the whole are much more interesting than in the previous game; there's much more to do and to explore. A lot of the levels are more challenging, with secret passages, ninja paths, door-opening devices and the familiar fog! The character interaction is fantastic & their relationships are very well portrayed, and with the addition of new characters and improvement of old ones, there's somebody for everyone! However, if you had the old game... don't be expecting the same voice actors as before - Koei hired a new agency and a lot of the characters have been seriously altered. A few voices are poor/unsuitable for the character but tolerable and a couple are absolutely terrible. Some of the previously powered-up characters have been weakened and if you have cutscenes turned on, they can seriously get in the way of your gameplay. If you turn them off, you could miss some interesting story developments. Also, bodyguards - despite the huge variety you can get - can be really irritating. When your character is weak, they are an invaluable asset, but as your character levels up they become more of a nuisance. Sugoroku also has the drawback of being similar to Monopoly in the fact that it can take a while to finish, and there is no option to save halfway through. It can also be really irritating to kill the captain of a unit and then to have his soldiers run away when you're trying to get a certain number of KOs... but it's still quite funny to watch. My favourite improvement is the musou on your horse - it was pretty useless in the 1st game but now? Now it is possible to get KOs into the hundreds just by staying on your horse and tapping C. Having said that, this is a great all-round game (you can always mute the voices!) especially if you're already a fan of the genre. The gameplay and content is far superior to the 1st and to the Dynasty series, and the stories and characters make it much more interesting to play than Capcom's last equivalent. Samurai Warriors 2 has a lot to do, lots to watch, lots to unlock and plenty of potential for replayability. And yes, you can reset the characters this time ;)

Familiar yet Fresh,
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Samurai Warriors 2 (PS2) (Video Game)
After buying several of KOEI's Dynasty Warriors games, I decided to see what their Samurai Warriors franchise was like. Although similar in many ways, the different roster of characters and thus storylines made this game new and enjoyable. The story mode is excellent although arguably inferior to Dynasty Warriors 5's as Samurai Warriors has far less characters. Similar to Dynasty Warriors also, there is tonnes of replay value to be enjoyed after you've completed all the story modes (which can take a while). Despite me implying Dynasty Warriors is superior, this game is a worthy addition to KOEI's library and is definitely worth buying.
