In the past, the Chinese Han Empire was a powerful country. Brilliant generals crushing worst enemies, and the emperors were famous for wisdom and wealth. But it took four hundred years, and at the site of a great state, there are three young nation.The country plunged into civil war. Best warriors met in a fierce battle for power and might, but only one side will prevail.

It seems KOEI are the cleverest company in the whole of the video games industry. Six Dynasty Warriors titles, a Bladestorm game, Warriors Orochi and now two Samurai Warriors releases have graced shop shelves. Why exactly does that make them clever? Well, the answer can be deciphered by simply looking at the games. Take one glance and you’ll find it difficult to tell which title you’re looking at. It’s a bit unfair to call them clones, but we’re certainly justified calling them subtle reskins. The concept hasn’t changed since the game’s announcement. Take a melodramatic Asian chap (or woman) into battle, hacking though the hordes that oppose you. It doesn’t come as a surprise that Samurai Warriors 2 is no different.

You pick a character and get chopping. Despite this distinct lack of imagination, they sell ridiculously well. They literally print money for the developers. The unusual question is why? The old phrase “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” comes to mind. Luckily, we’re not easily fooled. Samurai Warriors is stale from the moment you boot up the game. Originally released back in 2006 (yes, that isn’t a typo) on the PS2 and Xbox 360, it’s taken two years to port the game to PC. We’d wished it had stayed there and we won’t hold back as to why.
