    Sometimes there are games that dun need a brainer which is still can be intresting to play. I personally think that is good. Me and my bro playing it everyday.

    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.

    Of course this game has it's flaws, looking at it in 2020. However, considering it was made in 2000, it's an incredible piece of work. Endless fun, great job by the developers. Had tons of fun playing this game as a kid.

    I started the Dynasty Warriors Saga with number 2 on ps2, I still have the CD in my possession still working, it's a limited French edition.

    I can tell you that this game is a nugget, despite being old, but it has aged well.

    Always good to play.

    At the same time it is one of the games of my childhood which will remain in my heart.

    Was an amazing game back in the day, true and through hack slash ( one of the best ever ) and just like most of the original DW game’s it holds up to this day.

    A lack of any multi-player action just adds to the pain and is as heinous a crime that a videogame could commit.

    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.

    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.
