  • Summary: This Playstation 2 exclusive expansion pack introduces new characters, and new chapters to the story of the Samurai Warriors. Players discover more impressive weapons as well as a variety of new items and fighting skills. Along with new content, Samurai Warriors: Extreme Legends also opens up the original game's character growth system for continued character development, so that players can create more powerful warriors. Set in 16th century Japan, the fall of the Ashikaga Shogunate caused a series of major wars between individual warlords vying for power. This era in Japanese history became known as the Sengoku or "warring states" period. Samurai Warriors reveals the stories from this dramatic era and combines it with pure Tactical Action gameplay.

    Just like all of its predecessors, in that it is all about taking a character, wading into combat, and decimating the enemy ranks.
  2. 8 / 9 / 9 / 8 - 34 gold [Sept 2004]
  3. The fact that you can't control the camera beyond a 'bring to rear' command is still very annoying when you've got enemies approaching from all sides.
  4. This budget-priced bonus pack features several additions to the original game, but it also exists as a playable, stand-alone product--albeit one that isn't as interesting on its own as it is when combined with the original.

    Great Game, however with the promise of more powerful charcters and weapons, if you haven't played the orginal or Dynasty Warriors, you will gnash your teeth in frustration, very difficult!! Expand
