Hands-On: Samurai Warriors

Hands-On by Bones | 04/23/2004 | 13:38:40 PM PST

Ninjas and Samurais go head to head as feudal Japan enters into the Dynasty Warriors saga.

In Samurai Warriors, the Dynasty Warriors saga makes the jump from China to feudal Japan as this title is set in the ninja- and samurai-filled Sengoku (or ?warring states?) period of Japanese history. The early preview build?s gameplay was basically the same as that of Dynasty Warriors 4 but with a few very noticeable differences. Developer Omega Force has taken full advantage of the Japanese setting by allowing you to take part in both historical and fictional conflicts on fabled battlefields and within the walls of ancient castles in over 90 stages of sword-slashing slaughter. The five selectable characters include legendary figures like the ninja Hattori Hanzo and the mysterious Oda Nobunga. And with each character having its own scenario to play through, complete with branching paths, unlockable characters, and multiple endings, Samurai Warriors is shaping up to be a big game with tons of replay value.
