  1. There is literally no difference between the PC and the Xbox versions of the game, apart from the clunky keyboard controls, but feel to buy a game pad or map the keys to places you find easier to use… all 17 of them!
  2. Slightly fun, but only in the most stupid definition of that word. [Sept 2008, p.115]
  3. Badly ported and badly dated. Not a game for the PC at all. [Oct 2008, p.91]

    If you're new to the samurai warriors series then yea you might like it, but if you're fan you'll most likely till enjoy it, but yea if you're one who gets something new, it's not for you. Critics are just so dumb, most of them are people who only play part or just the demo of the game. They're not even gamers. I bet any casual gamers can beat them in any game. These critics shouldn't even be critiquing games at all. Well in my opinion this game was average, I've played most of them and they're quite fun, if you want some time to just hack n' slash something. Expand
