    The first improvement is that everything is smoother.

    Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes is a really enjoyable game that, although it is not a revolution in its genre, it does bring variety to engage us during many hours, despite its terrible storytelling.

    Great visuals and over-the-top hack-n-slash awesomeness.

    The game's overall zaniness and sense of humor make you want to keep playing just to see what happens next. [Dec 2010, p.83]

    Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes gets the Dynasty Warriors formula and changes the face. It is extremely funny and it will attract the lovers of this genre, but this game is really poor in IA, lack in innovation, and really repetitive and linear.

    Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes isn't a bad game. The problem is that there is so little depth in the gameplay that the experience can quickly grow old.

    Shallow, mindless hack-and-slash action makes this a crushingly tedious slog through an anachronistic version of 16th-century Japan.

    Cara. Não irei falar apenas por mera nostalgia aqui, mas queria entender como isso não fez sucesso no ocidente. Esse game foi o melhor que jáCara. Não irei falar apenas por mera nostalgia aqui, mas queria entender como isso não fez sucesso no ocidente. Esse game foi o melhor que já joguei, as cutscenes são divertidas, os bosses tem suas mecânicas e estilos de combate diferenciados e com poderes e histórias diferentes (Sendo que a mesma pode variar dependendo de quem você está jogando, afinal mesmo com uma quantidade enorme de personagens, o jogo coloca muitas endings diferentes e lutas iradas no meio, para mim foi incrível), outro fator foi o modo multiplayer, que meu amigo, jogava horas direto com meu tio para tentar desbloquear mais personagens(Jogo em japonês :C), mesmo repetindo as fases diversas vezes, continuávamos nos divertindo, porque qualquer combo que você jogava, mais de "1000" soldados voavam, o que aumenta mais a coerência, já que os personagens na história são muito poderosos comparando com meros soldados. Enfim, como queria que tivessem lançado no ocidente com muitas vendas, achei que a série foi muito injustiçada. Obs: Queria falar mais, porem pouquíssimas(ou nenhuma) pessoas iriam ler isso, mas se você leu, já sabe a nota que vou dar.… Expand

While it has an element of "history" to it, the historyThis is one of the most fun and easy to pickup whup-ass beat-em-up games for the Wii! While it has an element of "history" to it, the history doesn't get in the way of the crazy, whup ass, beat-up combos of damage you can do to hoards and hoards of enemies. While I played with it, I keep having this exciting feeling of "bring 'em on"! It's one of those games that make you feel like a real bad-ass. The key thing is simplicity that works with both an adult like me and my eldest son! The game play is all about doing much damage with as crazy combos - the excitement of achieving Super Basara Frenzy combos of up to 6000 hits without a break is just plain nuts. And super fun and exciting. I have only played 22% of my first character, Ieyasu. I am now just playing Saica to try a different style, and boy it's fun. Even though the map is similar with the different character, the gameplay and whup-ass combos are totally different, and feels fresh. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - don't listen to negative critics. You don't know what you're missing if you don't get this game. GET IT NOW, no regrets! I'll have hours and hours of fun!… Expand
