Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes (PlayStation2 the Best)

Honestly, I had never played a Sengoku Basara title before this one. I just got Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires and Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes puts that game to shame.

This game has lots of action, decent graphics (for PS2), cool opening music, TONS of modes and unlockables, RPG-like equip and level-up system/shop for upgrades, TONS of multiplayer modes, the list goes on and on. The sheer polish and extra content in this game REALLY makes Dynasty Warriors seem like a waste of time. And all for $30??? BUY IT

Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes, the best hack/slash game ever... for anyone love hack/slash games, its a must get

This game offers many characters, with several unlockable abilities, weapons, items, and suits for each individual character! 2-Player vs. mode, and 2-Player mode that allows players to team up and conquer Japan together during the Sengoku period, one player story, and much more! Truly the best hack'n slash game you'll find out there! If you enjoy this type of genre, this game will blow you away and keep you occupied so much you'll want to play it over and over again! Much faster, and much easier to maneuver than any other hack'n slash game available!

You can transfer over your data from SB2, which carries over your character levels, weapons, and personal items (sadly not gold or regular items).
You can also buy PIs for $30,000 if you didn't get them in SB2.

There are 8 new story modes (3 full and 5 short "gaiden" modes).
Of the 3 full stories (Kojuuro, Oichi, and Nagamasa), Oichi's stands out as the best, albeit the heaviest and darkest of the 3. It also has a unique credit sequence, with the song "Nemure Hi no Hana", sung by Oichi's voice actress.
The 5 gaiden stories (Yukimura, Masamune, Keiji, Motochika, and Kotaro Fuuma) aren't quite as interesting, but entertaining nonetheless (Yukimura's was actually quite funny).

Completing the story modes unlocks colour swaps for characters (their regular outfit, but with a different colour scheme).

There are even several multiplayer modes available. You can play co-op in Conquest or Tournament mode, as well as a few new vs. modes.

Tournament mode has also changed slightly. You can either choose to play with 2 players, or with one player using a team of 2 characters which you can swap between. This makes getting those legendary 8th weapons easier! And don't forget those 3rd armors!
Beating Tournament mode once unlocks Ultimate Tournament Mode, where every round has a time limit.

All in all, despite the fact that your regular items don't transfer over, and some items have been removed (mostly the ones the increase your hits), Sengoku Basara 2: Heroes is a great expansion pack to an already great game. A must have companion game to SB2!

List of newly playable characters:
- Kojuuro Katakura (Katana/wakizashi)
- Nagamasa Azai (sword and buckler shield)
- Oichi (naginata, can split into two)
- Kennyo Honganji (staff)
- Kotaro Fuuma (dual ninjato)
- Ujimasa Hojo (six pronged spear)
- Ieyasu Tokugawa (spear with ringed blade)

and the new NPC/antagonist, Hisahide Matsunaga.

This is better than SW DW. Better graphics, a nd game play and so many modes to play. You really could play that for a long time. It's an awesome game by Capcom.
