Samurai Warriors 2: The Review.

[xyzzysqrl]

There's a new review of mine up at Worthplaying. I couldn't say it in this review, but I'm free to say it here:

I fricking loved the crap out of this game. Honestly. I'm playing it right now, even.

Not that I expect you folk to go out and buy it on my say-so, but still.

Anyway. I'll probably be posting review updates over on sqrlgames from now on. If anyone wants to join that, feel free.

M'off to nap now, and then in about six hours we head up to the mall to put cash down on a Nintendo Wii. I am exceptionally goddamn excited about this.

I was surprised by how much this game improves the Dynasty Warriors formula. It's really addictive! Shame the 360 port for it is kinda terrible.

The 360 port is "kinda terrible"? Aww.. That was one of the games I was hoping to get for my newly aquired 360.. What about it sucks so much, if you don't mine me prying?

The big problem is in the graphics, which weren't upgraded for the 360 in any significant way. So you're paying an extra $10 for a 360 game that looks like a workmanlike PS2 game. Lazy!! The justification for this is the Xbox Live multiplayer mode, but it, well, sucks. You're really better off getting the PS2 version, unless the 360 happens to be the only system you own.

I am waffling between preordering a Wii and waiting until six months or so after the release to get one. I'm pretty excited, but I'm wondering if Nintendo can really fulfill all the promises they've put forth for themselves.
