Samurai Warriors 2 didn't so I waited on the empire version.

Its nice to find someone else on here who likes playing these games as well!
I personally find myself buying all of the DW series for the PS2, but I only have the first SW and its expansion pack so far, so there's quite a few new characters there, which I don't know let.

I do know that they brought the custom character thing back for the DW5 expansion back as well.

I do like the idea of adding both of the series together, I just hope they don't take too many pains in trying to explain why characters from two different countries are fighting together, it'd be best to just ignore that I think.

Me too it'll be nice to see both these series together and how the characters will act towards each other and how Koei will pull off the story for this.

I also like the option of calling for your horse instead of trying to find where you misplaced it (your steed would even disappear after awhile if you weren't on it I believe) and waste time. I'm the kind of guy in this game where I like to kill virtually everybody, close all the gates and then take the final enemy commander and his remnants last in a total onslaught of all my forces. Sometimes my buddies get in trouble so having the option of calling for my horse and racing over there is a great. I usually broke as many boxes I could find and hope for those 30 second speed boosts to get me there.

I totally agree with you there, it's not too much of a problem when you're playing as a fast character like Lu Xun etc but when your a slower character then its a whole different story

I also hope for custom characters in this game, since there are a small number of real warriors in the game I enjoy playing from a gameplay perspective and story perspective and mostly prefer to make my own guys after I finish with them.

I hate to tell you this but there isn't a create a warrior mode in this game
Personally this doesn't bother me to much since I perfer playing as the orignal characters myself, but on the up side you will have a total of 77 or should I say 79 characters to choose from with two whole new characters, which have been added to this game. I guess with that many characters though they might of found it abit hard to fit a CAW mode in as well.

I'm sure it will come stateside and UK, I don't think a DW or SW game not come out in other countries besides Japan, nearly everybody picks these games up like candy.

I've heard of possible rumours that it will be released in october for Europe and maybe June/July time for US, so will have to wait and see when it will truly come out over here
But I've heard its sold pretty well in Japan.
