DarkZero

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!

Samurai Warriors 2 is a bottle of Saki that's well past its sell-by date.

PC Format

Slightly fun, but only in the most stupid definition of that word. [Sept 2008, p.115]

PC Gamer UK

Badly ported and badly dated. Not a game for the PC at all. [Oct 2008, p.91]

Strategy Informer

If you liked Samurai Warriors, then you'll like number 2.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)

Console conversion. Two simple words and so much sadness behind them. This game is such an unsuccessful matter you can’t stand more than a few minutes in its proximity. Not to mention the stupid horse riding. [Aug 2008]
