Matt Sainsbury writes: Pressing one button over and over and over again might sound dull, but it can be a compelling experience. It's all about the context in which those buttons are used. Look at the original Super Mario Brothers: you've got a direction pad, a jump button, and a run button. With just those three inputs, Miyamoto and Nintendo created a genuine work of art.
Samurai Warriors 3 has an attack button, a stronger attack button, an even stronger attack button, and a jump button.

Koei Tecmo brings you the latest game in their hack and slash fighting series, Samurai Warriors 3.

TGH Writes: "We last heard from the Samurai Warriors series about four years ago with Samurai Warriors 2. With Samurai Warriors 3 already released in Japan and Europe, it’s time for America to prepare for battle with Samurai Warriors 3. Samurai Warriors 3 also found a new home on Nintendo’s Wii console. Has Samurai Warriors 3 changed since Samurai Warriors 2 or does it retain much of the same? Get your swords and spears ready to hack and slash your way though hordes of enemies in this review."
