Dynasty Warriors 2
So, what is so good about Dynasty Warriors 2 (a.k.a. Shin Sangokumosou 2)? Is
 it the graphics? No, it is not the graphics. Is it the sound? No, it is not 
the sound. Is it the controls? Once again, no, it is not the controls. So, what
 makes Dynasty Warriors 2 so great? It is the gameplay. The gameplay in Dynasty
 Warriors is so addictive it will keep you hooked for days on end. It is one of
 those games that is fun to watch as well as play. Some people think that DW2 
is the greatest game to meet the PS2 yet. If you play it, you would know why 
people come to such conclusions. 

In Dynasty Warriors 2, Koei has taken Chinese historical mythology and made it
 come alive into an all out war. In Dynasty Warriors 2, you choose a hero based 
on Chinese mythology and use your hero to lead your dynasty’s army into battle.
 As the hero, you battle enemy troops and join with friendly troops to give the
 enemy a spanking they will never forget. Each hero has special moves, combos, 
and weapons to lay the smack down on the opposing forces. When you climb up on 
a horse, you can ride it into a throng of enemy troops and send them flying all
 over the screen. A part of the fun is watching your enemies fly all over the 
screen from the agonizing sword and spear blows given. DW2 can process over 50
 men on a screen without one second of slowdown. However, in some parts, it has
 a minor case of slowdown, which is hardly noticeable and lasts for no more 
than a split-second. The disappearance of slowdown is a major accomplishment 
for Koei, since the game looked like it was being played in slow-motion at the 
E3 demo. If you played the demo, you would give Koei truck loads of credit for
 the vast improvement.
