Cheat Code Central
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.

There's very little to differentiate this from other Warriors titles. [June 2008, p.82]

With such monotonous gameplay, the excellent RPG elements used to pimp out characters proves to be useless.

Official Playstation 2 Magazine UK
A poor excuse for an expansion from a poor excuse for a sequel from an utterly knackered series. [May 2008, p.82]

If you've already got Samurai Warriors 2, then I can't really see this slightly remixed version being worth the GBP 20 (EUR 25) asking price.

Those of you tired of the franchise's repetitive button-mashing gameplay, stale features, and dated presentation have plenty of better action games to choose.

PSM3 Magazine UK
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]

If you've already played Samurai Warriors and weren't exactly crazy about it, you might as well keep your money in the wallet.

Assuming you have dipped your feet in the pool of endless Dynasty Warriors content, it's almost absurd at this point to have to pay 30 bucks for either the PS2 or Xbox 360 flavor of what is barely more than preconceived, half-assed, tacked-on downloadable content.
