Good...... but just not good enough =(
The cool part is that after battles you can increase your attributes and skill levels with experience points after each battle. Of course each character has their own special ability that already comes with the characters. Ex: ninjas are the only one who can double jump and run fasters than all other characters. Big fat huge guys have the ability that can break down some walls, which makes them unique as the ninjas. Although some characters don't start out with ability you can buy em' with your experience points. Of course you might be thinking does everybody buy the same exact skills? Well no. Ninjas have ability to buy rather than others compared with those fat assses. Theres are more characters in this game than the original Samurai Warriors. But the original one has more levels.
Some are complaining while that you are playing that you can't get weapon 5 or 6. Well thats why you go into option and buy it. Of course they cost alot of money. In the option menue you can buy lots of other stuffs.
In multiplayer mode. You can choose from normal battles with the characters, play as sumo restlers, or simply play gate keeper. In normal battles of course you just pick your character and fight to the death. In sumo mode you have to kill the other oponent or push em off the ring (pretty obvios). In gate keeper which is new is very hard and yet you put it on easy. You have to defend this open gate. You must not let anyone past or well try not to let anyone past (computers). If you do you lose points. There are generals that you can kill which will then be on your side and fight off against the other player. Very fun yes, but gets boring as later.
