Ultimately, there aren’t all that many good things to say about Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes. Sure, it’s better looking and slightly more entertaining to play than any of the similar games that have come out in recent years, but it’s still painfully formulaic and completely uninspired. This is a genre that desperately needs a makeover to be relevant again, becaus even newcomers to the game would be shocked to learn this was made in 2010, and not at the turn of the millennia. C’mon, Capcom, you’re better than this.

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.
International publishers Udon have confirmed that the official Sengoku Basara graphic novel series will be made available in Europe, beginning with Sengoku Basara: Samurai Legends Volume 1 next month. Based on the videogame franchisee from Capcom, the Sengoku Basara graphic novel series takes real Japanese historical events and figures, and makes them larger-than-life with dynamic character designs and all-out action.
WiiHome: "Play this game for an hour or two and we can guarantee that you'll be desperately seeking something with just a little more depth. There really is nothing to do but hack and slash your way through scores of enemies, and even that killing process isn't exactly refined!"
it's just like dynasty warriors so no surprise there. i might get it since it's only 40 bucks.
...Or has IGN been giving bad scores all over the place lately?
Can't wait to see the Black Ops 9/10 or 10/10 GOTY EDITOR'S CHOICE FOREVAR
Ah well. I fear I might not even bother reading this review thanks to the probability than it'll just be a rant over stupid parts of the game instead of objectivily mentioning the good and bad points of it.
Don't care what IGN says (for this particular review), getting this game no matter what.
I played the demo, and I thought it was awful. The enemies (excluding the bosses) don't even hit you. I stood still for 10 seconds, and nobody attacked me. Combat was boring too. Just button smash your way.
Mite as well give cod a 4.5 its the same stuff every year shoot,camp,run,and noobtube,repeat.
