Pros: A unique battle experience
Cons: Very repetitive gameplay, dumb AI at times

Let me begin this review by saying Dynasty Warriors 2 is one of the coolest video games I have ever played. In it, you play a Samurai military general who goes out and leads your troops in hand-to-hand combat. Each level/battle of the game is a huge...

Pros: Great fun,graphics
Cons: ill-fitting music, a tad repetitive

Given that the original D ynasty Warriors was a fairly lame Soulblade wannabe released in the flood of 3D fighting games in the 90s for the PlayStation, I'm sure I can be forgiven for not only passing up, but ...

Pros: Amazing butt-kicking goodness on a grand scale.
Cons: Computer stands around to get hit a lot, lacks depth.

(That "Ohhh My!" is supposed to be my best text impersonation of George Takei.)

THIS is the game that I have been waiting for for I don't know how long. I preordered it a long time ago on Ebworld and it still hasn't arrive on my...

Pros: Good framerate and soundtrack
Cons: Repetitive gameplay, fog of war, sub par graphics.

The historical Three Kingdoms War in China is one of the greatest wars fought in what would become the most powerful civilization for centuries. This war united the country together, after years and years of battling each other.

So...

Pros: GRAPHICS ARE REALLY GOOD!
Cons: ...

Number 2 on my bought list, but so far number one on my best of PS2 list, Dynasty Warriors 2 was a surprise game that'll keep me playing for a long time. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE THIS MUCH FUN TAPPING THE SQUARE BUTTON! The fighting can be repetitive, but is...

Pros: Easy learning curve, fun for the first few hours.
Cons: too much button smashing, no real skill needed

The high concept description of this game is to say it's "Final Fight with 3D movements instead of side scrolling and ancient Asia instead of downtown New York."


CONTROL:The control and flow of the game is excellent, you should...

Pros: Great fun, graphics, gameplay, everything
Cons: greater variety in attacks

*** Updated June 25th after more game play ***

Dynasty Warriors 2 is just about the best PS2 one player game I have found. Most of what I am seeing myself and hearing from other PS2 owners is a lack of game length in what is available on...

Pros: solid controls, fast-paced action
Cons: No depth, repetitive gameplay

And the award for best sequel that has absolutely nothing to do with its predecessor goes to...Dynasty Warriors 2, Koei's first PlayStation2 entry. Many don't know this, but DW2 is a "sequel" to the original Dynasty Warriors, which was a very solid and...

Pros: Great Stress Reliever, Just Plain FUN.
Cons: Can get boring during LONG Sessions

Dynasty Warriors 2 was one of those games where I had to think about if it was worth my hard earned money or not. Most of the reviews that I had read about it were middle ground. I would usually see it get ratings of 7 out of 10. Now most of the time...

Pros: Some stratagy and RPG elements involved
Cons: Not enough levels

This game is a good mix of action, strategy and RPG. The idea of the game is to pick a hero and guide him or her through seven battles. The difference here is that you are not entirely alone, but playing as part of an army.

On each level, you...

Pros: Intense action, good graphics
Cons: short game, limited attacks

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I popped this game into my shiny new ps2. It was supposed to be a blend of action and strategy, 2 genres that don't seem like they belong together. I popped in the disk, got passed the loading screen and embarked...

Pros: GREAT GRAPHICS, A LOT OF CHARACTERS ON SCREEN AT ONCE, ETC
Cons: FOG EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE

Dynasty warriors 2 can be best described as a hack-n-slash action game that will get you pumped up and yelling at the tv.

At the beginning you can choose from 9 brutal warriors with specialized weapons that you beat the stuffing out of your...
