I really enjoyed this game like DW3 and DW4. You spend so much time playing through these games. And never get bored of it. This game will keep you in for the months or even years of upgrading and unlocking everything in this awesome masterpiece.

Samurai Warriors is a hack n'slash game for the Xbox. It is played in the Third person view. You pick a warrior and fight along your army in Feudal Japan, you'll also get two bodygaurds that will attack your nearby enemies to protect you. There are hundreds of enemies on screen and the action is very good if you like these type of games. The gameplay is similar to Dynasty Warriors series 1 thru 4. The sounds are the same, the graphics are the same and the levels feel like the same thing. In fact, Samuai Warriors feels EXACTLY the same as Dynasty Warriors. There is nothing innovative in gameplay to set these games apart. This game actually takes one step backwards, by including a lousy camera system. They also added indoor levels where you fight random enemies in mazelike castles, filled with booby-traps. Sounds exciting, but it is rather boring. Don't buy this game expecting new and refreshing game mechanics, because it feels and plays pretty much like all the DW series. The game creators are laughing to the bank while you play the same old game over and over. The only work they did was make it into a Japanese setting and creating new dialog for the story. Don't get me wrong, I love DW games but expected something different this time around. How many times are they going to milk this same cow?

Pros:
+excellent action
+bodyguards A.I. improved
+good sound
+good graphics
+good music
+fast loading

Cons:
-same like all DW games
-same graphics
-same sound effects
-same levels
-bad voice-acting returns
-bad camera system
-boring indoor/maze levels
-nothing new
