A lack of any multi-player action just adds to the pain and is as heinous a crime that a videogame could commit.

Dynasty Warriors 2's beat-'em-up gameplay is simple enough to make it easy to get in to, and the game is interesting enough to keep you entertained for a while.

You get the feeling that they're on the verge of something great. With a few more strokes of the design pen -- more control, better AI, improved graphics -- this could be a fantastic game.

Amazing War game really in the battles with your allies and enemies running around advancing on eachother with bosses would've been perfect if you could have more control on your allies with and a big story to get behind to be more invested with rivals i know kessen leans on these more I'm hoping future Dynasty games have more of these elements

Was an amazing game back in the day, true and through hack slash ( one of the best ever ) and just like most of the original DW game’s it holds up to this day.

I started the Dynasty Warriors Saga with number 2 on ps2, I still have the CD in my possession still working, it's a limited French edition. I can tell you that this game is a nugget, despite being old, but it has aged well. Always good to play. At the same time it is one of the games of my childhood which will remain in my heart.

A wild, chaotic, and intense strategy game as much as it is an action title, so those of you who've always wanted to be a war hero can strap on some armor and get to it.

It's as close to a non-EA Sports "must-have" game as any of the PS2 launch titles.

Despite its simple core, Dynasty Warriors 2 is appealing to me. The action gets very intense with the sheer number of people on screen.

A bit too simplistic and lacks in replayability. Unfortunately there is also no multiplayer option, but the smooth graphics and unique elements to the game may redeem this.

Character detail comes at the cost of the environments, which are bland and plain. However, the onscreen action gets so hectic that players won't have much time to hang out and take in the sights.

If you've only got an attention span of ten minutes this is great. If you've got an IQ in double digits you should take this as a direct insult to your man/womanhood. Absolute cack.

Of course this game has it's flaws, looking at it in 2020. However, considering it was made in 2000, it's an incredible piece of work. Endless fun, great job by the developers. Had tons of fun playing this game as a kid.
