	Samurai Warriors (Xbox) Review at RewiredMind.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Samurai Warriors features the same hack and slash action that was found in the popular Dynasty Warriors series.
		Samurai alleviates the repetition a little by giving you new challenges in the heat of the battle, like taking a castle or helping out a morale-drained allied army, but there still isn't nearly enough to make things feel like you aren't stuck in Groundhog Day.
		As it stands though, Dynasty Warriors players who enjoyed the previous four or five versions of the game will no doubt snap up Samurai Warriors like the tasty offshoot that it is and appreciate the new and stunning elemental attacks and power-ups that can be purchased upon completion of a mission.

		With the introduction of Samurai Warriors: State of War to the PSP, which is yet another historically-based, blade-wielding title built on the series’ established foundations, has KOEI finally dared to tread new ground and strike out from the largely repetitive and dull hack-and-slash battlefield?
		Beyond the game’s story mode, Samurai Warriors: State of War offers players the chance to indulge in free mode, which opens up any desired character to embark on all completed and unlocked stages of the game to be re-played from start to finish.

		There was Samurai Warriors, Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends, and now Samurai Warriors 2, an entirely predictable follow-up featuring more hacking, slashing, and barely-there battle strategy, with only a couple of ancillary new modes and upgrade systems to make the game warrant a "2" in front of the title.
		Twenty-six different warriors are available to play with in Samurai Warriors 2, though most of them are locked from the beginning and can be unlocked only by playing through the various storylines of the available characters (and with each one you unlock, you get one of the game's achievements in the Xbox 360 version).
		Though Samurai Warriors 2 is, at a base level, rooted in Japanese history, the characterizations and situations take full dramatic license, and the result is a lot of hammy dialogue and disjointed storytelling that does little beyond explaining why you're bothering to hack up all those bad guys.
