Combines slick, well-tuned controls with an accessible combo scheme with unbelievably thick visual effects to create a complete third-person action package. [Nov 2004, p.92]

Your enjoyment of this game will correlate directly to whether you dig the highly Japanese flourishes and style...If this is your bag, Otogi 2 offers some of the most lavish ass-kicking destruction around. [Nov 2004, p.124]

Playing this game years after its actual release really shows just how amazing this game was for its time and the fact that there are no games like it even to this day means it is a true hidden gem . Its truly a shame we dont get games like this anymore and an even bigger shame that so many people will never play this..I cant even really explain the game except to say its a hack and slash game with low gravity moment, set in a Zen like Japanese world , full of color, lights, satisfying sounds and tranquil music as you tear though the enemies and environment in a symphony of beautiful destruction..

Otogi 2 is probably the the game that transposed better the ancient japanese folklore/mythology on the screen of a videogame. Graphic and musics are PERFECT. You know, when you heard taiko drums with that crescendo with all of those demons' screams and a really solemn gong or koto, you can feel a some kind of magic **** stages are really wonderful, graphic is stunning...everything is sourrounded with a "fairytale" atmosphere. Awesome. The combat also is really elegant...seeing Raikoh and his companions spawn in the stage surrounded by a twist of cherry blossom petals is...magical, stunning.

A text book example of how to make the perfect follow up. Take everything that was popular in the first then power up the graphics, level up the characters and open up the shops so that they stock a larger range of items and spells. Bigger, better, and hell of a lot sweeter.

Everything about Warriors is imaginative at its mind-blowing best. And it's all packaged with some amazing graphics, a haunting soundtrack, perfect controls, and enough gameplay to last over 20 hours if you're the thorough type. Don't miss it. [Dec 2004, p.164]

Its sweet symphony of particle effects and rock solid gameplay put Otogi 2 in a class all its own. Yes, the slow down gets annoying, but that's a small quibble compared to this game's majesty.

The added characters, the RPG elements, combined with the beautiful stylings of the previous game sum up to one quite incredible game.
70
A solid game that offers a little more variety than the first with equally amazing graphics, but doesn't do much to improve upon the first game or address its problems.
58
The video game equivalent of a bag of M&M's: candy coating on the outside, mindless hack'n slash on the inside, and not a lot in between. That was fine the first time, but we expect a little more nutrition out of our sequels.

Raikoh, the famed undead warrior from the original game, rises again to save Japan from an onslaught of demons. This time, he is joined by six other selfless warriors who have taken their own lives to resurrect Raikoh. As you acquire more spec... Read More
