Wasn't the last one rubbish?

Hmmm, thought so...

I quite liked the previous one. It was different enough from Dynasty Warriors to avoid some of the usual complaints. And the fact it was based on Japanese instead of Chinese history meant we didn't get the same old bunch of characters either.

Koei UK seem to be getting a bit faster with their PAL localisations.
Last few years I remember waiting about 4 months after the US release to play DW4 and 5, now the wait is just a month or so. Which is nice.

And seeings as, after playing 12 of these games (DW2, DW3, DW3:XL, DW4, DW4:XL, DW4:Empires, DW5, DW5:XL, DW5:Empires, SW, SW;XL, SW:SOW) I'm still not sick of repetative hackandslash action, I am very much looking forward to this.

SW1 was great fun, and yeah, it was a nice difference from DW.
The character abilities in SW2 do add a lot; Mitsuhide can now perform Battoujitsu moves and Yukimura can call a horse to his side from anywhere. Can't wait for this, though I think i'll end up importing the american. While Koei are getting quite quick with thier localisations, they're also getting a bit lazy. After DW3 Empires perfect PAL conversion they've started using a lazy blur-screen method of converting to PAL. Just look at any writing in the game and you can see it's ghosting.

Based on japanese history like Genji 2 with all the giant crabs with weakspots for massive damage or based on japanese history like shogun total war?

Finally will it have real time weapon change on the 360 version but not the PS2 version?

Actually we 1 up Genji 2 we have 'Real Time Character Change' in both PS2 and XboX 360 versions. Maybe we should release a viral ;)

Based on Japanese History quite strictly (not like Genji - though Genji is based on a mythical period of time - kinda like Otogi) The only flights of fantasy come in with the Musou specials attacks and women on the battlefield - but those are easily forgiven.

"Finally will it have real time weapon change on the 360 version but not the PS2 version?"
Why would you want real time weapon change in SW?

"Actually we 1 up Genji 2 we have 'Real Time Character Change' in both PS2 and XboX 360 versions. Maybe we should release a viral ;)"
Who's We?

Well koei's Dw+Sw always get bad reviews.Now im a guy who totally trusts reviews and very much always agrees with them(well the reviews in ops2 magazine anyway).But i have to totally dissagree with anyone who gives Dw a below 7/10 score.I love the Dw series,not only does it give you a fair bit to do,but its soo addicitve so the replay value is gd to.But i cnt give koei credit for producing Sw.Its adsactly the same as Dw.The story may be diffrent but the gameplay is almost identical.
