    A continuation of a series that is past its prime. With the ability to import people, places, and things from the original game, it literally steals from its past. This series will not move forward until it stops looking back.

    In fact, for casual Warriors players, it may even be better to have not played the first game, as the main game probably will make you less likely to want to play the new, but not all that different, content.

    Xtreme Legends is just more of the same, on top of an already repetitive and mostly overused concept.

    The gaming equivalent of rocking in a corner sucking your thumb - comforting at first, but repetitive and the behaviour of those who are soft in the head. [June 2008, p.85]

    I am very dispointed in the comments from the other critics. This expansion has more depth in the series then ever. You graphics improved, the gameplay is awesome, and having a rank system with unlockable skills is an A+, This game made me jump saying this game is the best yet REALLY, there is no reason why this game to be rated a 50, but it is not similar to other samurai games in all ways only few, and the really interesting thing on this game is that the movie clips and the AI is heck of alot better thus feeling like your not playing alone but with people, the NPC talk alot more bringing this game alive. There are NO FLAWS in this game. I CANT FORCE U, but i 100% consider you to buy this game or go on youtube and check it out, im dead serious, this is the best SMW game YET… Collapse

    Play this game. The reasons for good reviews are not the same as why people play games. The diverse player options will keep you interested. Buy, don't rent!… Expand
