All you need to know about sequel to the Best Selling Warrior Orochi game.
The plot is simple. Da Ji is back and badder then ever as she tries to resurrect the evil Serpent King Orochi. You can either choose Shu, Wei, Wu, Or Samurai storyline and play its story. They also included an Orochi Storyline that tell the story about Orochi's conquest in Warrior Orochi 1. Needless to say, majority of the people wanted to play Orochi's storyline. Each storyline last about 2-3 hours and the gameplay should be familiar if you have played the series before. But if your new, get ready for a long adventure.
Each storyline you start off with around 6-8 characters. As the game progress, you'll unlock more characters. There are around 92 characters overall in the entire game. Some are back and bigger then ever as they return from previous series. You'll find each character has a unique move set and they are categorized into 3 categories. They are divided into Speed, Power, and Technique. The most important feature in the game is that your able to choose 3 characters to play and are allowed to switch between them anytime.
As for the storyline, you are on a quest to stop the resurrection of the evil Orochi and you are to form an army to stop him. The storyline tells an intriguing story and it get your attention. There are cut scenes between each level and I must say, they were pretty awesome. But I must warn you, you will face big Lag issues. Even with the patch, I still faced lag issues. You think Koei would be able to fix this problem.
You cannot have a Warriors game without the famous Free Mode, you are allowed to play any map you have beaten already in campaign. Versus Mode has improved a lot...and I mean A LOOOOOT. Koei has included horse races and other fun modes. Of course I can't forget the biggest feature of the game, the 3-man tag team Fight. This is probably the biggest thing I have seen in the game. If you know what Tekken is, surely enough the mode is like that but with bugs. There is also a dream mode. If you remember from the first Warrior Orochi, they had Gaiden levels or X-stages. Well...WO2 Dream mode is the same thing. You need to meet some requirements before unlocking them and once you beat all 27 stages, you get an awesome prize.
Surely enough, this game hasn't change much from the previous game. Same soundtrack, interfaces, character selection screen, and many more. Koei Could have made much more improvements but I guess they didn't. If you were to buy this game, I rent it first and then buy it if you like it. You won't miss it much unless your a hardcore Koei fan. Anyway I give this game a 7/10. More improvements could have been made but this will do.
