So it's Dynasty Warriors, which means running around hitting things. It's Gundam, which means hot robot-on-robot action, rather than Chinese history. And it's got a "2" on the end, which means it's a sequel, so it should be better than the last one. Right? Exactly. Gundam 2 isn't out to surprise you, especially not if you powered through the original. The pace is brisker, the fighting system is deeper, there are more modes, giant robots occasionally stomp about to change things up a little, and the awkward difficulty spikes have been ironed out. Really, it's the same old story - if you like all things Warriors, buy this with confidence. If you don't, then don't. Easy.
Pros:
* Big robots running around smashing things.
* Major improvements over the previous game.
Cons:
* Same old Dynasty Warriors gameplay
Questionable:
* When are they going to finally change this series up a bit?

GFB writes: "Dynasty Warriors is directly related to two key points. Firstly, hack-n-slash button mashing gameplay. Secondly, this series has barely changed over the years in terms of both graphics and gameplay. Still, whether you've played only one, or every one, the mantra holds true. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. When it was first announced that DW was going to see a Gundam paintjob, fans from both camps got a tad worried. Prior to the original Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, DW saw only Asian generals and swordsmen facing in battle. How could adding giant robots affect this balance?"
At some point Bandai and Koie have to make actual improvements on the DW franchise and all its clones.
Right?
