I really enjoyed this game like DW3 and DW4. You spend so much time playing through these games. And never get bored of it. This game will keep you in for the months or even years of upgrading and unlocking everything in this awesome masterpiece.

Samurai Warriors is a hack n'slash game for the Xbox. It is played in the Third person view. You pick a warrior and fight along your army in Feudal Japan, you'll also get two bodygaurds that will attack your nearby enemies to protect you. There are hundreds of enemies on screen and the action is very good if you like these type of games. The gameplay is similar to Dynasty Warriors series 1 thru 4. The sounds are the same, the graphics are the same and the levels feel like the same thing. In fact, Samuai Warriors feels EXACTLY the same as Dynasty Warriors. There is nothing innovative in gameplay to set these games apart. This game actually takes one step backwards, by including a lousy camera system. They also added indoor levels where you fight random enemies in mazelike castles, filled with booby-traps. Sounds exciting, but it is rather boring. Don't buy this game expecting new and refreshing game mechanics, because it feels and plays pretty much like all the DW series. The game creators are laughing to the bank while you play the same old game over and over. The only work they did was make it into a Japanese setting and creating new dialog for the story. Don't get me wrong, I love DW games but expected something different this time around. How many times are they going to milk this same cow?

Pros:
+excellent action
+bodyguards A.I. improved
+good sound
+good graphics
+good music
+fast loading

Cons:
-same like all DW games
-same graphics
-same sound effects
-same levels
-bad voice-acting returns
-bad camera system
-boring indoor/maze levels
-nothing new

I luv it

although this game is almost the exactly the same as the other Dw games but its not really about how its the same as the other ones. its all about the ass-kicking and throat cutting action and the pants-crapping fun. I love this game

On a superficial level this game might seem to be a clone of Dynasty Warriors 4 set in Japan instead of China. That would be a injustice to a godd game that stands alone from Dynasty Warriors 4. One difference is the combat system. For example horses no longer exist to take your officer from one point of the battlefield to another or give a mild boost affect. Their role is much bigger than that. They can leap,stomp,and hit enemies. Also they have a hit point bar. There is no weapon level exp any more. Instead you start of with a basic level weapon and then getting higher level weapons by finding them in treasure chest and defeating enemy officers. The level of the weapon depends on how well you finish a battle and settings of the game difficulty. Also the weapons carry random abilities like elemental attacks, agility, jump, speed, horse defense, ect. Next is character developement. In Dynasty Warriors 4 you had no control over the how the officer you play developes. In Samurai Warriors at the end of a battle you are awarded points to spend on different skill trees that effected wether your officer will be a offensive, defensive, or tactical support type. Then there is the new innovative officer creation mode. In dynasty warriors 4 officer creation mode you would choose the gender and had a limited choice of color,garemnts and weapons. When you make a series of officers they did not differ very much from each other because the game would give the same preset stats each time. In Samurai Warriors 4 you can create a character from a choice of over 8 models and the stats depend on how well you perform in series of mini games featuring bouts of archery, melee, riding, burst, combo, and deflect training. Which make your officers unique. Despite all the new stuff I found in this game there are a few things I didn't like. One thing is the lackluster music. The music is not bad but after hearing the music in Dynasty Warrior 4 I feel the game developers could have done better. I found the grayish, brownish background colors to be unattractive. Which is surprising because the graphical details are pretty good. The only conclusion I could make is that either they were trying create a sombre, moody effect or they getting were running out of time and was in danger of going over budget( a common problem with lots of games these days. My last complaint is not technical but that little something that has do with the synergy in the game. What I mean by this is the rivalry, friendships, kinships and historical connections between charcters that make a neverending story. There is lots of synergy in Dynasty Warriors 4. Examples are Cao Cao and Lei Bei and their relationship with each orther or Zhao Yun and his devotion toward Lei Bei or Cao Cao with Lu Bu or Zhuge Liang rivalry with Sima Yi. When you play a Dynasty Warriors 4 character you feel the emotional intensity in the relationships which makes you want to play the game over and over again. There is a little bit of this in Samurai Warriors but not a lot. Overall this a game worth buying. Hopefully Samurai Warriors will be a long running series.

addicting like niccotine

these games keep you guessing throuout the whole game the first time you play it. different characters means cooler levels and theres BOOBIE TRAPS that scare the bajeeses out of me every time.new horses that have new skills like jumping and trampling people thats pretty cool.new bodygaurds that are sweet ninjas that wield there katanas when danger is there.new creating characters like 8 new people to choose from and more colors.same graphics which is a good thing because the graphics in the other games are pretty good too.that is why i give samurai warriors a 10/10

when I heard that they came out with a new game to add on to the original dynasty warriors game I almost made a suprise in my pants I was so excited. when I heard that the game was called samurai warriors I thought that it was going to be geeky but the first time I played it I loved it and that is why it gets a 10/10
