Despite flirting with futuristic racing, it's no secret that Koei's heart has always belonged to cutting swaths through bad guys, keeping their population under control with the mashing of buttons in such series as Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, or in the case of Warriors Orochi, both at the same time.
Warriors Orochi, which fused both franchises for a crossover fiesta, was released last year for multiple platforms, and according to a statement from Koei this afternoon has shipped more than 1.5 million units worldwide. Granted this simply represents the number of copies the company has thrown on the back of a truck, and not how many that players have actually been taken home and played. Even so, this hasn't stopped Koei from confirming that it also plans to bring Warriors Orochi 2 to North America, giving PS2 and Xbox 360 players another means to sacrifice thumbs and delete evil doers en masse this September.

Hardy bugger. It needs to die. Unless he meant PS3.

It's another form of Dynasty Warriors. Does it surprise anyone that there is going to be a sequel?

These dynasty warrior games are my guilty pleasure. No matter how repetitve or same old same old each one is I just can't stop playing them. I'm not even sure if I have that much fun in them anymore I just can't stop lol. Oddly enough I hate samurai warriors though.
I've gotten a little better though. I've managed to just rent them now instead of blowing too much money.

The last of these snorefests I tried nearly put me to sleep, they're so simplistic and repetitive.

of course they're making a sequel. it's incredibly easy to make games if you're Koei. simply make the same game you made a year prior (in this case, several years ago), slap a new coat of paint each year, add the proceeding number to the title in accordance with the last and see if idiots continue to buy.
easy.

Why should it be a "guilty pleasure"? I don't feel guilty about playing the Warriors games - I think they're fun to play, and if anyone says otherwise, well, it's nice that they have a different opinion to me. Otherwise we'd all be sheep, repeatedly bleating out things like "The Warriors series is just a repetitive button masher".

I actually liked Orochi for the PS2. I would recommend that wholeheartedly over the mild upgrade that is DW6 for the PS3/X360. Orochi 2 looks like around the same game. Pick it up at a bargain bin price when you get bored and you won't be disappointed.
