Way of the Samurai 2 (PlayStation 2, 2004)

This game is the best sword game out there. Although, there could be some slight improvements I am sure that once you play you won't stop playing. There are so many swords to collect and master. You feel like you are the Samurai.

If your a real fan of the martial arts genre and enjoy role playing video games,then this game is worth it! I really love the multiple endings sequences that take place according to the decisions you make in the game. Alot more fighting and sword techniques then the first, replay value is high if you enjoy slashing and thrashing in a video game!! BG

Alot less linear than the first game, but with MORE amazing samurai swords and moves. If you are a big fan of Samurai, then you'll love this game.

Try to unlock all the endings!

The best samurai game EVER! you'll be addicted to it! action from the beggining to the end, every choice you'll make, decides which couse you'll take and a diferent ending with every choice! just perfect!

It's a game i had in the past and i loved it but i traded to a game store and when i wanted it back someone esle bought it already so i decide to get it from this and i love how it is placed in time period of fedual japan

i love this game i could spend hours on end looking for diffrent swords trying mto discover a diffrent ending or even getting money for special items. i rebought this game because it was bouroughed and never returned. great game i suggest it.

I bought this item because my 12 year old grandson was searching locally for it and couldn't find it available anywhere. With ease, I found the item and chose this one because it was BuyItNow at a reasonable price and reasonable shipping costs. I received it within an acceptable lenght of time and had no problems with it. Needless to say, I have a VERY happy grandson!!

Its not that I like it , but my son does . This was a very good purchase,
my son asked me to buy it had been wanting it for awhile. It took me awhile to find it at the right price but with a little bit of Patience I got it.

If you're considering buying this game, then most likely you've already played the first one. The first game had a relatively straightforward battle and item system, a good cast of characters, and no shortage of endings to receive based on your actions. Way of the Samurai 2 is very similar to its predecessor, with some notable changes:

1. The items you can buy and use are a bit more complicated. You have the choice of paying for items you buy or just running off once you receive them.

2. All jobs you took on in the original game were related to the plot. WotS2 includes 'random' jobs that give you money, bolster your reputation with the townspeople, but otherwise don't affect the plot.

3. In Way of the Samurai 1, there was one 'good' ending, and everything else was a sort of bad ending. There was only one way to truly save the town. However, in WotS2, that is not the case. Much like in WotS1, you have the opportunity to side with one party or another (here the yakuza or the police), or ignore both (also possible here), but unlike WotS1, there are many ways to get an ending that doesn't result in the death of your main character or the town being wiped off the map.

As for the actual gameplay, the camera angles can be frustrating at time, and it can be harder to pull off combos than it should realistically be, but let's be honest. You don't play this sort of game for realistic samurai fighting, you play it for the sheer amount of different endings there are and the different choices you can make.

In this, WotS2 doesn't disappoint. Though a bit dated (four years now, mid-late PS2 generation graphics) it's worth playing if you enjoyed the original. Otherwise you probably won't have the patience to play it past the first hour or two.

The game I ordered for my son was in excellent condition and was received very promptly. I am very pleased.
