Samurai Warriors 2

"Japan, A Tyrst of the Old and New"

When I bought this in a game store, I was wondering: Do this game really worth buying because I have Basara 2? Surprisingly, it is worthy of buying and even honoring this game. KOEI has released this new game to market and I must say..... This game is awesome!

In the title, I told that because Japan is still a sanctuary of the old ways that had been preserved until now. Although it's technologically advance, their traditions haven't changed since the influence of Buddhism.

Getting back into the game, this game is good, as I said because it has many playable characters, Soguroku, Survival mode and the collection of your achievements, the vault.

This game has just one major flaw..... In an enemy unit there is five of them, right? The major is in the center and the privates are in the sides of a general, namely two to the left and two to the right. Now, if I kill the major, guess what happens? The privates run away!I don't brand them as cowards but unlike in Dynasty Warriors, they will fight until the last man. In my opinion, this game can get 9 from me, because it has a major, noticeable flaw.

Unlike in Dynasty Warriors, this game has higher graphics and options. For example, Hanzo and Kotaro can double jump, Nene can mimic an enemy officer, etc. Characters here have special types and the skill getting system is to raise level to learn new skills. Unlike in SW1, the type is scroll system, in which you will unlock skills by doing something or just play normally.

Eventhough this game is like this, it is advantageous because, compared to the Samurai Warriors 1, this game is awesome and it rules. This game is great because it has extended time limit. Unlike Samurai Warriors 1, which usually have 25 minutes, so, in my opinion, the missions here are much easier that other DW games.

In my conclusion, generally, this game is awesome so I recommend buying it until the stocks lasts.
