Travel back in time to ancient Japan and fight your way through
the ranks of your enemies, bringing death and destruction
wherever you venture. Follow the history of the mysterious
samurai warriors as you fight to bring order where there is
none...
Samurai
Warriors 2 follows
on where the first game left off. Things have been upgraded
significantly and the gamer is offered a slightly tweaked
fighting system. However, no matter what the press release
says, this is still a hack and slash by numbers; a button
mashing frenzy.
There
are a few interesting additions, including the Monopoly style
bonus game called Sugoroku, but to be blunt Samurai
Warriors 2 won't hold the attention of many gamers for
that long. But if you do find yourself hooked you'll be disappointed
to learn that whether you play this game for two minutes or
two days very little changes.
All
of your enemy look identical and when you are faced with the
odd boss you soon find that the developers use the same cut
sequence when you defeat them. Yup, every time you beat one
of them senseless they run away holding their arm and threatening
that they will be back.
There
are nice touches - like the ability to whistle to the nearest
horse, which will then take you to your destination quicker
than travelling on foot - but there's nothing original here
that you won't have seen before.
If
you want another mindless button mashing game then you'll
probably enjoy this. Otherwise try before you buy.
