This budget-priced bonus pack features several additions to the original game, but it also exists as a playable, stand-alone product--albeit one that isn't as interesting on its own as it is when combined with the original.

PSM MagazineGameplay is still repetitive, but it's a lot of game for the money. [Holiday 2004, p.96]
-
Just like all of its predecessors, in that it is all about taking a character, wading into combat, and decimating the enemy ranks.
-
Cheat Code CentralThe various modes will keep you busy and detract somewhat from the repetitious nature of the gameplay. But if you really get into it, you won't have time to be bored. You must attain a Zen-like state to be at one with this game.
-
GMR MagazineIt's almost as if Koei planned this expansion pack long ago just to milk Warriors fans for all they're worth. [Jan 2005, p.102]
-
This game has been made strictly for the fans and it shows with tweaks and alterations in just about every area.
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineOnce you get past the negligible new features, there IS some fun hack-n-slash gameplay to be had with the four new characters. [Jan 2005, p.118]
-
You'd think after almost a half-dozen games, the Warriors franchise would get a little old, but the injection of Japanese flavor and history into an already familiar stew just makes it all the more irresistible.
-
Game InformerThere is nothing that makes this worthy as a standalone release. [Jan 2005, p.68]
-
If you already own and like "Samurai Warriors," Xtreme Legends is something you will love. However, if you're expecting it to be a solid stand alone title, it doesn't have that much to offer.
-
With simple controller schemes, this game is very accessible.
-
PSX NationPredictably competent.
-
This game is ideally suited for players looking to relive Samurai Warriors, or who are diving in for the first time. For anyone who got their fill of Samurai Warriors the first time around, there isn't enough here to warrant your attention.
-
The big reason for diehard Warriors fans to pick up Samurai XL obviously lies in its four new characters. Yep. Four. That's pretty pathetic compared to the nine added to "Dynasty 3 XL" (and even though "Dynasty 4 XL" featured no new warriors, its fun new gameplay modes compensated nicely).
-
For now, this is still the most fun you can have hitting random people with random things by the hundreds, while still whetting your appetite for more of the same.
-
TotalGames.netThe fact that you can't control the camera beyond a 'bring to rear' command is still very annoying when you've got enemies approaching from all sides.
