DarkZero: Warriors Orochi 2 Review

Review by Dominic Sheard:

"I'm going to start off this review with a very interesting video game fact for you. Koei's first Dynasty Warriors game was released back on the Playstation in 1997. It was also a one on one beat-em-up with graphics that were similar to the first Tekken. It wasn't till 2000 that Koei released Dynasty Warriors 2 on the Playstation 2, that it became the style of game we know. Playing as one soldier taking on a massive army, you go around slashing and smashing your way through simplistic minions.

Since then there haave been countless releases and ports for the franchise. Did you know that if you include every game (not including ports) in the franchise - Samurai Warriors, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam and Warriors Orochi - there are over 20 games released at this point in time. I tell you one thing, that's bloody crazy, 20 games that are pretty much identical when it comes to the core gameplay. But you know what the craziest thing about it is? They all still sell, and Koei knows this because otherwise they wouldn't keep creating the damn games.

It's amazing really that Koei can get cash with minimal effort, just by adding new characters, settings and stages, they can sell the game off to the fans. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to give a verdict on the new game in the Warriors series, Warriors Orochi 2."

Hey First place creatures?

Yeah Hello, so yeah...ummm you do know that selections date back to Music and Movies? Yeah....so ummmm it not so much biting as it is....passed on?

Yeah but get that cough checked out, I heard there is a lot of "Nintendo Doesn't need you to fight their battles" coughs going around.

My suggestion...Halls and well Vitamin Playstation.

Bye Bye!

Why is there someone named "FirstPlaceMan" and a person named "FirstPlaceMan2?"

TheFirstClassic4970d ago

Some people don't even try to hide their dual accounts, there's someone on this site named killerhog who brings in his buddy killerhog2 when he runs out of bubbles.

I'm not a fan of the yellow and white, it looks like some no-name food you'd buy at the supermarket.

kB04971d ago

I'm not a fan of the words "the best" being passed around so loosely....but hey if things were up to me loosing your virginity would be a requirement to use the internet:)

knifefight4970d ago

It's Japan. English is catchy and marketable, and "Za Besuto" is something that the common man knows how to say. Since these are made to generate more sales, that's the way it went.

Didn't Warriors Orochi 2 release 3 years ago?

EDIT:Oh nevermind, this is actually Warriors Orochi 3, but known in Japan as Musou Orochi 2, just like Dynasty Warriors 7 is actually 6 in Japan.

Flowity5337d ago

Is the game will be released outside of Japan?
Because the game Samurai Warriors 3 released exclusively for Japan
