GameSpy writes: "How stressed out must the developers at Koei and Omega Force have been when attempting to bring their popular Warriors series to handheld systems? The series (both the Dynasty and Samurai varieties) is known for tossing dozens upon dozens of opponents on the screen at once to fulfill players' hacking and slashing needs. It would be extremely difficult to bring that experience to a portable.
Previous attempts at Warriors titles for the PSP have been fairly solid, but they haven't been able to fully recreate the console versions of the games. Instead of dropping the player on a large map full of enemies, these games broke the action up into a grid-style playing field with multiple smaller missions to complete.
Warriors Orochi, however, changes all that. This is a direct port of the PS2 and Xbox 360 game that was released last fall, and it does a surprisingly good job of living up to the game that inspired it. Just be sure to take advantage of the game's interim save feature or the PSP's sleep mode. Some of these battles can take half an hour or more to finish -- not exactly conducive to pick-up-and-play portable gaming."
Pros:
-Faithful recreation of the console game
-Tons of playable characters
-Weapon Fusion system allows for good customization
Cons:
-There's some noticeable pop-up
-Long load times
-It's the same Warriors gameplay
Evan discusses how trophies and achievements can add or take away from value and gaming experiences.
Trophies are always iffy for me. I'd rather gain unlockable weapons and modes from completing a game if I had to choose but very rare that a modern game offers both.
The Japanese branch of Sony Computer Entertainment today revealed the HDD space requirements in addition to some screens on the latest batch of Japanese PS2 Classics games.
i kinda liked this game even thought it wasnt really a silent hill game. i guess silent hill fans hated this game because they got tricked. i guess for the people who disliked it maybe they should thik of this game as a horro game and not part of silent hill.
@kte
good thing they released sh2&3?
didnt 90% of the ppl hate the hd version and prefer the original? voice acting, bugs, framerate and graphical glitches messed up the game big time apparently
Silent hill 4 wasn't that bad just different .i like it a lot better then the newer ones that have come out .that Panopticon prison was I found really interesting
"Warriors Orochi is one of the more entertaining games to come out for the PSP. People who’ve played the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors series have always wondered what would happen if these worlds would collide; and Koei delivers by mahshing the two brands together into one meaty package."
