    The Dynasty Warriors series is so bad, it should be illegal. This game is no exception. I had no idea the voice acting could get MORE annoying than it already was. If you're one of the last few who still think this formula isn't terrible, you are deluded enough to enjoy it. So I guess that's a vote in favor for the series, but against for anyone who has bills to pay.

    This is a game purely for 2 kinds of people. Dynasty Warriors fans and Gundam Fans. I fall into the first category. While others say the gameplay is "old, boring, and the same it's always been", I say that it is tried and true. If you liked the first game, this is the same with a whole bunch more.

I fall into the first category. While others say the gameplay is "old, boring, and the same it's always been", I say that it is tried and true. If you liked the first game, this is the same with a whole bunch more. More characters, more suits, more missions, more moves, improved gameplay, the new big giant stompy robots, and yes ONLINE PLAY! Though I haven't been able to connect to an online game yet... Maybe all the reviews from first person shooter addicts are scaring would-be players away from this game? Dynasty Warriors has been around a long time and has been relatively unchanged. By now you have a damn good idea what to expect long before the game ever comes out. This game is no suprise and does not reinvent the series. Nevertheless, for fans it is a great game and the slight improvements are well appreciated. If you are at all interested in this game, at least give it a rent. For me, a Dynasty Warriors fan, it was an extremely worth day one purchase.… Expand

    As someone who never purchased a Dynasty Warrior game, I found myself enjoying the first DW: Gundam quite a bit but never purchased it due to rarity of the game. When DW: Gundam 2 was released, I purchased a copy immediately and haven't regretted it one bit. There is something quite fun about going around destroying massive amounts of enemies and taking on Aces and Mobile Armor.

There is something quite fun about going around destroying massive amounts of enemies and taking on Aces and Mobile Armor. People will call it boring and repetative, but I can honestly say the same about FPS games. It's all about personal taste and what you are looking for a game to do. If you are looking for DW: Gundam 2 to reinvent the series, this game is not for you. But if you don't own a DW game and you enjoy the Gundam franchise, I don't think you would be disappointed in purchasing this title.… Expand

    As a fan of both,i guess my view is a little swayed. It is huge,lots to do,and unlock. It has a great amout of characters,though some more Gundam Wing might have been nice. The upgrades seem to do more than in the other series,and using the right combos,especially on hard,is a challenge.

And that would be the same here.… Expand

    I can't understand why Dynasty Warriors games get such awful reviews. The gameplay is not exactly original and they are basically button mashers but I really enjoy them. DW Gundam 2 has a ton of unlockable content and a lot of new gameplay elements. If you're a Dynasty Warriors fan, you'll find a lot to like about this game.

    Erin S, you obviously haven't even played the game and are basing your rating on disdain for Dynasty Warrior in general. Please stick to rating games that you actually play.

    If you play through this avalanche of new content and you still don't find yourself warming to KOEI's Warriors series, then you can probably forget about ever doing so, because Gundam Musou 2 is absolutely the best in its class. Here's hoping it won't be quite so criminally overlooked as the first game. [JPN Import]

    While it's not impossible to see why this series is so popular, each iteration fails to differentiate itself enough, and its poor gameplay, woeful design and awful sound repeatedly fails to impress. [Issue#176, p.92]

    It's actively irritating having to press the same buttons and complete the missions over and over again. [Apr 2009, p.78]
