Samurai Warriors - T

Violent game geared toward teen Samurai Warrior wannabes.

Publisher: KOEI Category/Genre: Video Games - Action/Adventure Platform: PlayStation 2 Price: $45 Graphics: Bright and lively colors and amazing detail given to players and environments. Playability: Very difficult to pick up and play, as it's an extension of the Dynasty Warriors series of games. If you're familiar with those games, your transition will be much easier.

Common Sense Note

SUMURAI WARRIORS is not a game that is suitable for players under the age of 15, and may not capture more mature players' attention if they get tired of violent games easily. In addition to the unbelievable amount of violence that's part of the game, you'll also find that the women warriors wear little clothing while swinging large swords. The game does offer players plenty of variety with over 500 mission variations and 90 unique stages, which may please warrior wannabes. But overall this is not a game for kids.

Common Sense Review

Reviewed By: Chris Saunders

If your teens are looking for a game that allows them to think, feel and act like a samurai warrior, this title will provide them with an up-close and personal look at this dangerous lifestyle. The game is geared toward the fans of KOEI's Dynasty series and has the potential to provide mature players hours of entertainment. However, SAMUARI WARRIORS is extremely violent, making it a game that you may want to keep out of your kid's game library.

If games featuring an overabundance of violence offend you, you may want to search for another title. The killing weapon of choice in this game is a Samurai sword that always seems to be razor sharp and ready to inflict harm on the villains that are chasing you through the unique environments.

The game features plenty of options for players, with over 500 unique mission choices and a variety of game stages. The degree of difficulty, like the content, again makes it only suitable for a mature teenage audience.

Overall, the game has no educational value and features more violence than you'll find in some of the other T rated titles that are offered by KOEI. If you're looking to purchase an action title for your tween or younger teen, your best bet would be to look elsewhere.
