Samurai Warriors 2 (DVD)

For anyone who thought attacks couldnt get much more devastating or more
spectacular than the fully charged Musou think again! Samurai Warriors 2 now
gives you the chance to max out your Musou gauge not once, not twice but
three times. This adds an exciting new element of strategy as players can
choose between saving up their Musou potential until the awesome power of a
three bar attack has been reached or using what you have at the time to get
yourself out of a sticky situation. Its now up to the player whether they
can resist the urge to unleash their Musou for a quick explosion of power
and wait for the ultimate in devastating battlefield power and pyrotechnics.

Extra spice has been added to the massed battles with the addition of a
greater variety of enemy forces. Visually the troops will present a much
more diverse spectacle so that different soldiers can be easily recognized
and react with a multitude of additional animations. These more varied
enemies will also offer greater diversity in attack with different squads
preferring to attack in their own particular style making encounters far
less predictable.

Levelling up has always been a big part of the Samurai Warriors experience
but not until now have players been able to level up within a particular
level. No longer will you have to wait until a mission has been completed
to benefit from your characters newly acquired abilities. Now you can
witness the benefits immediately and unleash your new abilities without
any pause in the action.

However, it is not only through your combat abilities on the battlefield
that you will be rewarded with an even stronger, more able warrior. You
now have greater choice in just how you boost your characters skills by
also being able to level up by stealing from enemy officers under specific
conditions and purchasing abilities with any gold youve managed to
accumulate.

A brand new mode called Sugoroku is added to the usual array of play modes
and challenges in the shape of a traditional board game. Except this board
game isnt just about rolling dice and moving pieces from square to square.
Every single place on the board hides a specific challenge or battle that
players will have to engage in in order to take control of that particular
square. Up to four players can take part in this mode and it should provide
a lengthy challenge as it combines elements of everything from within
Samurai Warriors 2 all wrapped up within one totally unique board game
experience.
