....also known as 戦国無åŒ2 (Sengoku Musou 2) in Japan, Koei' s Samurai Warriors 2, much like Dynasty Warriors, has the player mowing down hundreds of enemies in a feudal Japanese Setting...
...features include a maximum of 26 playable characters, character specific special moves and attacks, two player co-op and your own selectable class-specific bodyguards... ...SW2 looks like a pretty strong multi-format rival to 360' s exclusive Ninety Nine Nights (N3)...
...as well as boasting superior visuals, the Xbox 360 version will also support competitive battles between two players across Xbox Live...
This game is still a work in progress but from the videos i viewed, it seems to make better use of 360' s hardware (in a general sense)... ...certainly the backgrounds, and environments have much more life and detail than what i saw from that N3 demo......
...also there might not be as many foes on screen as N3, but SW2' s come across as having some modicum of AI and are pretty individualised... ...it' s combat engine looks to be just as good too, with the game coming across as being more focused on 3rd person adventuring.....
