THE GOOD:
  • A return of simpler times, like Dynasty Warriors 3. No more orbs or items, just a shop and battlefield experience. Purchase skills or learn them by leveling up the character or even acquire them from defeating certain officers.
  • No more item farming! Develop like an RPG character instead of relying on the same item boosts. Encourages individual development.
  • Weapons (four levels of them) found have random upgradable attributes and elemental powers. Five elements: fire, ice, lightning, wind, and demon (familiar vorpal/death).
  • Say hello to the 10 new characters: Ginchiyo Tachibana, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Kanetsugu Naoe, Kotaro Fuuma, Mitsunari Ishida, Nagamasa Azai, Nene, Sakon Shima, Yoshihiro Shimazu, and Musashi Miyamoto. All worthy and interesting characters.
  • Great presentation. Tons of rendered cinemas of great CG.
  • Easily over 120 hours of fun.

THE BAD:

  • Bid farewell to now unplayable...
THE GOOD:
-Some minor gameplay improvements
-CG movies are pretty cool
-Some graphic improvements
-Survival Mode is better than in the first Sengoku Mousou game
-Characters' special moves instead of bow attack is a good idea
-Masamune Date character is remade for the better.

THE BAD:
-Cheap and stupid "difficulty"
-No Japanese voiceovers
-Most characters' stories and endings are very uninteresting and silly(with the exception of a couple really)
-The game has much less "soul" in general
-No Kunoichi, no Goemon
-Ranmaru & Okuni are for free mode only
-Oichi character is remade for the worse
-no second costumes
-no equipment items
-no alternative endings.

SUMMARY:
I played KOEI games since DW3, and I am a big fan of the genre in general. I really liked the first SW game and looked forward to the sequel. Unfortunately, the second SW not only is not an improvement over...
