In comparison of SW1 to SW2 it's poor in my opinion; the engine and speed of the game pales in comparison in Samurai Warriors 2; the range of characters is low and compared to the Dynasty Warriors series at the time it's rather clear it's more of an imitation job - it even maintained the usage of the pointless bow & re-used many of the voice actors from Dynasty Warriors. Only since Samurai Warriors 2 has it really become a distinctive game in its own right, casting away many of the Dynasty Warriors traits to become something unique; while maintaining the base of great hack n' slash fun.

Besides, it's my personal review; you don't have to agree with it.

Also, thanks for the comment Potato Samurai; if you get it I hope you like it. It's rather different to Kessen of course, but it's so great to see many of the same characters in a different manner; while maintaining many of their historical traits.
