Samurai Warriors 2

"Samurai Warriors 2 is essentially a PS2 port and it shows. It does manage to offer many more options for play than the recently released N3: Ninety-Nights. With co-operative play, a good number of unlockable characters, Survival Mode, an Xbox Live mode, and tons of weapons and skills to improve your warriors, those who like the hack-and-slash formula will find a game that can keep them occupied for a good amount of time. The core gameplay is in serious need of an overhaul, though. We've seen this too many times before and are ready for something new."

"Like just about every other sequel in Koei's Warriors franchises, Samurai Warriors 2 offers an overly familiar and ultimately mundane hack-and-slash experience."
