    DW2 has just enough improvements to make it smoother and slightly more enjoyable than its predecessor.

    Really just more of the same. While it isn’t totally lame, it does have a number of flaws that make it inferior to other hack and slash titles; in short, it’s a whole lot of action you’ve already seen.

    From a company that has been making the same game for some many years, you start to expect them to put something together more impressive than this.

    Even though most players have been here and done this, Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2 actually provides reasonably portable hack-and-slash action. That is, if you can put up with it.

    At the end of the day Volume 2 is more of the same with some nice improvements, refined strategic gameplay and working multiplayer.

    This is not the Dynasty Warriors that you've played on consoles. It's better than the first PSP game, no doubt, but it still has a long way to go before it feels at home on Sony's little wonderportable.

    With a full year since the original and no majjor changes to implement, this should have been great. Instead, it's just more "Dynasty Warriors." [Dec. 2006, p.134]

    Dynasty Warriors Vol.2 is good, but it's not great. Sure, it's better than the first installment on the PSP, but it isn't as good as the DWsDynasty Warriors Vol.2 is good, but it's not great. Sure, it's better than the first installment on the PSP, but it isn't as good as the DWs you would see on the consoles. If you are a hard-core fan of the DWs series, then this is a game you will really benefit from. If you are new to the DW experience, it's best you stay away.… Expand
