Samurai Warriors 2

"Samurai Warriors 2 is one of the hell hacking slashing!"

I have playing a Hell of Koei's Hack and Slashing game , No seriously , Dynasty warriors were one of my favorite Koei's game. The game was taking place in the ancient China. But after many years , Koei is going to Hit Samurai Warriors which taking place in Japan Release later in 2004 and Samurai Warriors 2 in 2006. So I was kind of exciting about the game because some of my friends said to me about how fun the Samurai Warriors 2 was. So I save Much Money that I can. and I bought the PS2 Console like around December 26 along with 3 games

Gameplay : 9

I have nothing to say , the Gameplays were just plenty fun , each characters has their own style and Special attack and somehow , improve fom Dynasty Warriors 5. Usually you will gain EXP after each Stage , But now you will acquire EXP during the battle by killing soldiers or officers. So everything was really improve , Officers will attack you often , but the soldiers won't =/
The Missions is pretty good , unlike Dynasty Warriors , You only have to defeat the main General in the Stages however Samurai Warriors 2 has plenty of Missions that will appear during the game. So I guess it will take you busy then..Sugorukou is a new game mode in the game , yes. Monopoly if you want , But I don't really like the game mode , it beats me out of the crap to play

Sound/Voice : 8

The Sound and Voice are pretty well done . They have been better than Dynasty Warriors's voice. All The actors have spelled every name correctly. The only problem that some characters voice have been bother me was Nene and Ranmaru Mori. Althought I know Ranmaru is a boy...But The actor that cast voice of Ranmaru was a mature woman. so when I play as Ranmaru I was like what the heck? It's this character a She/he ? But doesn't matter. Nene's voice is dumb...almost remind me of someone....

Story : 9

Unlike Capcom's Devil King , Samurai Warriors has a stability year , the story were happen around 1563 and later , while every characters has their own story but some of them are real and some are not. Well...Some Story was rewritten by Koei...But you thought everything was real....

Graphics : 8

The graphic from Koei was always the same , but this time the characters are more detail then the previous game . When I looked in the screenshot of the game , I was quite surprising. The game is more detail and more realistic.

Replayability : Variable

This game is really fun , Killing people around , when you have bad mark or mad at teacher you playing this game and it's made you feel so good....It really help.
But not like most people will like this game , because of the most deja vu from Dynasty Warrios. But if you love Hack and Slashing game , you should Get this one. If you don't like it. Then you need to stay aways from this.

Final Verdict : 8

Buy or Rent? Up to you.
