This game is a must have for any fan of the dynasty warriors or samurai warriors series. I am a fan. This combines those two series into a pretty good game. This game is not much different from the previous games. All the characters from the previous games are in this one + a few new characters. New storyline involing the resurrection of Orochi (Who was killed in the last game). The 5 individual storylines you can blaze though if you are familiar with the series. If not, it might take you a while. It is fun to level up characters and unlock 4th level weapons for charcters. Orochi - lvl 99 + 4th weapon + "Almighty" skill = DESTRUCTION Anyways, if you love the previous games this is a must buy. If not, this a great game to get started on to try out first.
I didn't have a chance to play the first one so I can't really compare. The last related game in the series I played was Dynasty Warriors 5 and I have to say this was a refreshing change of pace. I love seeing all the old familiar characters from both franchises interacting with one another in this pseudo "what-if" history fantasy fiction scenario. Controls are pretty much the same from the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors series so it'll be familiar to long time fans and easy to pick up for new players. One thing I especially liked was the ability to customize the weapons, even the 4th (Final/Ultimate weapons). No longer are you stuck with an ultimate weapon that has some good stats and some useless stats, you can now make your own using the given selections of modifications. The added stats can be more attack or longer range with 6 slots dedicated for this. There are 3 addtional upper slots which can have "Special Stats" like double attack when life is at red or a unqiue and overpowered in my opinion, Triple Musou. Very, very useful on officers when playing on the max difficulty. If I had to point out the biggest flaw, it would have to be the lag or slow down of frame rate due to the sheer volume of characters on screen. I don't recall this problem being so prevalent in the past series but then again there were never so many playable generals on screen at the same time doing their special attacks or musous. Its not a horrible amount of lag, eventually you'll begin not to notice it the longer you play the game. I'm not sure if it was level dependent or just my 360 bogging down on me but I don't even notice it anymore. The other flaw is really minor. Having played the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors series I came to love the voice actors for most of the characters. You'll notice right away which ones have changed. The biggest and worst change voice actor wise was Hideyoshi Toyotomi. In the Samurai Warriors series he was very likeable and emotion filled, a well done job but in Orochi his voice actor is just plain horrid, no offense to the guy but I prefer the Samurai Warriors voice actor. Most of the Samurai Warriors had their voice actors changed though some notable Dynasty Warriors characters like Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Sun Jian have different and weaker voice actors. I applaud Koei for making some enemies I actually really wanted to beat the snot out of. Da Ji and Kiyomori are two of the most arrogant and annoying characters in the game and hopefully I'm not alone on this but you'll enjoy defeating them all the time simply to shut them up and put them in their place. Its also why I had a hard time finishing the Orochi story mode because I hated using them as characters to defeat some of my favorite generals. Anyway in closing, if you're a Dynasty and Samurai Warriors fan then you'll love this game. Minor flaws but lots and lots of replay value though it would probably be more fun with a friend tagging along.Read full review
After enjoying the original Warriors Orochi game (and the previous Dynasty Warriors titles), I basically knew what to expect from this game. With that said, I couldn't be happier. *92 playable characters *Weapon customization *New gameplay modes *New team-up and assist attacks Although fighting a revived version of the same boss I defeated last time, it's still an enjoyable game. I don't really need much motivation to mow down hundreds of enemies at a time, it's a blast on its own. If you've ever enjoyed Samurai Warriors, Dynasty Warriors, or Warriors Orochi, you'll enjoy Warriors Orochi 2.
This game is a must have if you like Samurais and sword fighting. Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors come together once again to make an awesome game. Over 90 playable characters!?! Totally awesome and weapon upgrades are fun as well. Explore the stories of the different clans and fight your way onto victory. And whats more funner than groups of 30 guys coming after you? THERE YOURS FOR THE TAKING!!! Great big detailed levels with amazing battle controls. If you like the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series, then you should combined them in to one game. Warriors Orochi 2. Its a must in your 360 Library.
