Has anyone else heard of it? Musou Orochi is its Japanese name, just so you know. It has a good probability of being titled "Orochi Warriors" in
the U.S. and Europe. For those of you who like extremely difficult games, this game should suit your needs. It's being released Q3 2007 in America for the
PS2 and Xbox 360. Europe gets it on September 28. And if you absolutely cannot wait, it's already available in Japan. MO (Everyone calls it that for short)
was created by Koei, the creators of the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. They created other games, too, but those are the only ones I've
played. MO plays similiar to both games listed above, as it actually combines the two (Yes, you read that right, MO is a crossover game!). Some elements
from both games are kept, as others are removed, along with some new jazz thrown into the mix. The things that caught my attention, were of course, the cast of
characters (72 total!), choosing three playable characters AT ONCE, and the villian, Orochi.
With that mouthful being said, take a look at the opening video:

Never heard of it.
I kind of stopped playing console games when I started with the whole PC deal.

So... Is it the Japanese vs. the Chinese?
I've never played any of the games before. |

Okay. But do the two different (human) empires get to fight each other?
And since you have experience with the series. I'm interested in what your opinion is on the upcoming Gundam Musou. |

Seeing as Orochi captures officers from each kingdom (Wei, Wu, Shu, Later Han, Samurai Warriors), I could even go as far as saying not only do the two
empires fight eachother, but all the kingdoms even end up fighting their own leaders! As for the storyline, it's above average, because the two empires get
drawn into blackhole created by Orochi, and as I mentioned earlier, he manages to capture most of the officers in each kingdom.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam
and Orichi Warriors look to be two different games, with Dynasty Warriors: Gundam actually having giant robots. Trippy. |

Koei hasn't decided on an official title name for the U.S./Europe Musou Orochi, so there may be debate between "Orochi Warriors" and
"Dynasty Warriors: Orochi" (Like they did with Gundam Musou).
Oh, and I found a video of a haxxed character in Musou Orochi (If anyone cares), by the name of Zuo Ci. He is one of my favorites in Dynasty Warriors 5. Keep in mind that peons are able to badly injure you in this game. The difficulty is set on hard. Check out how Zuo Ci tells them to sit down, and shut up! One Attack Kills All |

Since there are so many normal enemies that are easily killed, what are the bosses like?

From what I've seen from the bosses on YouTube videos, they look to do horrendous damage (Especially Orochi on Normal difficulty and higher.). But Zuo Ci makes things look so easy, he killed a boss in three hits (That's a record on hard mode!), and he annihilated the freaking commander in four hits. So, in short, this game is basically kill, or be killed. |
