    I loved all of the fighting sword action. Wait Until you see Dynasty Warriors 3.

    This is an excellent game. The historical referances are quite interesting. The only problem comes when you beat the game with the characters you want then it becomes only mildly entertaining.

    Its a no brainer! You run about bashing buttons beating up 100's of characters. Not worth buying but maybe renting, if you have a single figure IQ.

  1. A lack of any multi-player action just adds to the pain and is as heinous a crime that a videogame could commit.
  2. Dynasty Warriors 2's beat-'em-up gameplay is simple enough to make it easy to get in to, and the game is interesting enough to keep you entertained for a while.
  3. You get the feeling that they're on the verge of something great. With a few more strokes of the design pen -- more control, better AI, improved graphics -- this could be a fantastic game.
