| Quote: |
For anyone who thought attacks couldn’t get any more devastating and spectacular than a fully charged Musou, think again! Samurai Warriors 2 now gives you the chance to max out your Musou gauge not once, not twice, but an incredible three times, adding an exciting and all-new element of strategy to the gameplay. Players can now choose between saving up for a devastating three-bar attack, or using smaller attacks at more frequent intervals.
Another new element of strategy is the character-specific special abilities. Each character now possesses all-new special attacks that can be triggered using the R1 button. Combine R1 with the face buttons to set traps, generate decoys, and more, to unleash even greater battlefield carnage.
The variety of enemy forces has been vastly augmented over previous iterations of the series, making for a rich and diverse visual spectacle. Character art has been enhanced, enabling easier recognition of individual soldiers, while the range of character reactions has also been greatly expanded. Enemies also offer a greater diversity of attacks, with different squads preferring to attack in their own particular style, making each encounter unique and unpredictable.
Levelling up has always been a big part of the Samurai Warriors experience, and a complete revamp of the system will now allow players to level up within a battle in real time. Reap the benefits of your play instantaneously and unleash new abilities without pausing the action! Exclusive new skills can even be learned by defeating the enemy officers you meet on the field of battle!
A brand new mode, Sugoroku, based on the traditional Japanese board game of the same name, is a game within the game that offers players a unique and innovative experience. The Sugoroku board hides a number of head-to-head challenges players must face as they vie for control of the board. For up to four players, Sugoroku delivers a deep and innovative challenge that combines the sword-wielding action of the main game with the traditional Japanese board game experience.

Might be fun but looks more like xbox-graphics than x360 to be honest.

I wouldn't mind the blander graphics on the 360 if they could just figure out the co-op properly. Every single release has had a problem rendering enough enemies on the screen resulting in enemies appearing and disappearing right in front of you.
With the 360's increased power I'd think they could pull it off. I wish they would...

Apparently the AI is just as dumb in this one as the others as well.. and that's the other major thing I wish they would work on.
The 360 has more than enough power, damn you Omega and Koei!

Its the fact that the game looks like it doesnt use any of the 360's graphical capabilities that I find off putting. At least N3 looked the part. I know games arent all about the visuals but when people think of next gen they think of how good the games look.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

Yeah I know. Lets take Dead Rising as an example of how many enemies can be rendered on screen at one. This combined with an unlimited view distance and lots of detail in both the mall and characters.
What the fuck is going on when games like this with mediocre graphics have enemy popup right in your face.

My guess is that they just keep taking their old engine and try to stick a few new things in and not really going over their in-place systems. They need to like.. rewrite their shit from scratch or do a major overhaul.
My pet rock has better AI than their enemies. I mean how long has it been since the original came out for PS2.. (Dynasty Warriors 2)
They could have a really decent game on their hands if they did it right. |
