Title: I'd rather be playing Dynasty Warriors
Review: I love the Dynasty Warriors series, so when Koei came out with Samurai Warriors I was thrilled. I thought it would be very much like DW, but with Japanese history and characters. In many ways they are alike, and in some ways they are different and that's still good. The "musou" attack in SW is sort of a time freeze where you are still in control of your character unlike DW. I thought that was a nice change, although I still like the Musou attack in DW also.In SW it feels like I am constantly trying to figure out where I need to be and I never seem to be close to the right place. The maps are more confusing than DW. It shows an X marking where I need to be, I begin heading that way and find a closed off gate. I am then forced to backtrack, losing mission time.The game is pretty cool in some ways, but I find myself yelling at it more than enjoying it.I would rather play Dynasty Warriors 4 Empires personally.
