Game Focus writes: "It's been just over one year since the release of the first Warriors Orochi game, which blends two of Koei's most popular series', Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors. For fans of the first game, there's some good news: the game is relatively the same as you played last year with some minor enhancements. For everyone else: well, you're likely not reading the review if you're not a fan of the series already, and believe me, if you're not a fan of the series, Warriors Orochi 2 isn't going to win you over, at all."
