The parents' guide to what's in this game.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that in addition to unbelievable amount of violence, this game also features women warriors who wear little clothing while swinging large swords. This game is not suitable for players under the age of 15, and it may not capture the attention of more mature players who quickly tire of violent games.

Very Good Game for 10 and Up
What's it about?
If your teens are looking for a game that allows them to think, feel, and act like a samurai warrior, SAMURAI WARRIORS will provide them with an up-close and personal look at this dangerous lifestyle. The game is geared toward fans of KOEI's Dynasty series and has the potential to provide mature players hours of entertainment.
The game features plenty of options, with more than 500 unique mission choices and a variety of game stages. The degree of difficulty, like the content, is suitable only for mature teens and older players.
Is it any good?
That said, this is an extremely violent game you that you might want to keep out of your kid's library. The killing weapon of choice is a samurai sword that's always razor-sharp and ready to inflict harm on villains chasing you through the unique environments.
The game has no educational value and features more violence than you'll find in some of the other T-rated titles offered by KOEI. If you're looking for an action title for your tween or younger teen, look elsewhere.
