One of my least favorite stages in WO2. The whole string of events just seemed sloppy. The "Hit everything with fire!" theme was pretty dull. The reincarnation of enemies was cool initially, but became irritating when you head to race around in a ring for a few minutes before getting the cue to advance. Lu Bu's forces tend to waste their time with peons rather than advance, though since Sun Jian does the same I suppose it's for the best that they stick together. Motochika's presence here was kind of disappointing. He had a few plain lines and did nothing much for the rest of the battle.
The lag was annoying too, but eventually one becomes accustomed to it, so no big deal now. Honestly, I think the main reason why I loathe this stage is because it doesn't feel like an epic final battle. The sieges of Koshi Castle from WO1 were really similar, but still mentioned to capture a sense of epic confrontation, as did Wei's final battle in WO2. Samurai and Shu had decent enough final battles, moreso the former than the latter, but Wu's just didn't feel like a serious showdown to me for whatever reason.
