    Samurai Warriors 2 offers nothing new over any other single-button-mashing sequel. Pass. [Oct. 2006, p.110]

    This is virtually the same old hack 'n' slash action that we've been playing for years in the Dynasty Warriors series. Yawnsome stuff. [Nov 2006, p.107]
  3. One of the dullest and most repetitive games I've played in recent memory. It feels more like a chore then a game, and the lack of attention to many aspects of its design pale in comparison to its greatest omission... it's simply no fun to play.
  4. With twenty-six unique charaters and as many stories to play through, this is the hands-down, be-all, end-all, motherload of button pushing. The rest of us, however, understand why George Jetson hates his job. Ok, you can stop doing it now.

    not bad game, but not good either. The multiplayer is really miss & match, visual is decent, and the voice is also decent
