You can applaud KOEI for trying something different with Samurai Warriors: Katana or perhaps not if you are a big fan of the previous Dynasty Warriors game style. Even though Katana shares the same “slaughter everyone” overall goal, the on rails approach combined with the Wiimote/nunchuck control system may turn off previous fans and will do little to attract new ones. As a rental it could work for an afternoon of mindless Wii slick and dice action but you are better off saving your gold for other less repetitious titles.
