Warriors: Legends Of Troy Critic Reviews

May not be the breakthrough some had hoped for, and it may not feel more engineered towards the Western gamer but it's still a good game. The gameplay, though mostly familiar, is solid offering a different pace as well as several unique mechanics to boot. If you despise the Warriors series Legends of Troy isn't likely to convert you, though as a standalone title, it's plenty of fun.

The developers have done an admirable job at retelling this classic story. The twists to the Dynasty Warriors formula ensure the game is fun to play, although it could do with some more variation.

One of my Warriors: Legends of Troy play sessions involved a comfortable couch and several bottles of beer. For those legally capable of drinking, this seems to be the ideal play environment.

Warriors: Legends of Troy is a pretty impressive project from Tecmo-Koei Canada. It features an interesting storyline that provides a great backdrop for a video game, as well as some well-done cutscenes and audio. However, its repetitive gameplay is something that will turn a lot of people off, even if it is more polished than it's ever been.

Warriors: Legends of Troy is a nice change of pace from other Warrior-type games published by Tecmo-Koei. Unfortunately, it still is hampered by a lot of problems.

You could easily rent this game over the weekend and be done with it.

Quotation forthcoming.

I can forgive the shonky voice acting, the monotony of the slaughter, the lack of free roaming. I can ignore the dull challenges, I can even forgive the second rate graphics, this is a slasher game and there is plenty of stabbing and hacking to keep you going, but what I can't forgive, in the end, is the dreadful monotony of stun to finishing move and back again.

We fall in the middle of the two camps and found Troy a welcome, but ultimately underwhelming attempt to evolve the franchise beyond its thumb-numbing roots. If Koei Canada can further refine the combat, add some multi-player - this game screams for co-op - and polish up the presentation, we're willing to plunge our bloody sword into a sequel.

It's great to see the Trojan War explored in Warriors: Legend of Troy, but these legendary warriors deserved a much more endearing title than this one. Only fans need apply.

Warriors: Legends of Troy is a wasted opportunity, since the Greek setting should have had a great appeal to western users. Play like Achilles, Hector or Ulysses is pretty entertaining, but the game is technically poor and even too boring, the Arena battles are repetitive, while there are no incentive to play for a long time.

Feeble mimic.

Warriors of Troy just about delivers some simple button mashing action without too much fuss, but hack n' slash fans would do best to wait for Dynasty Warriors 7. That game sports more character in a single trailer than this does in the entire experience.

: It has some redeemable qualities, but it's too repetitive and boring to offer any kind of real action experience.

It may be surprisingly faithful to the original transcripts, even if it gives very little information regarding the Trojan War, but that is the only positive aspect of this new, "western oriented" button masher from Koei. This recreation of Homers Epic is extremely shallow and repetitive, offering nothing new to the genre.

Beyond the unusual setting for KOEI, Warrios: Legends of Troy proves to be a mediocre product completely unable of innovating nor improving the software house's quality standards. Just like any Dynasty Warrios, Legends of Troy is in fact boring and extremely repetitive.

Dumb fun boils over into awful stew when we, as the Greek Achilles, are forced to stab toes during a two-part and cliche-addled boss fight against a giant statue complete with respawning zombie minions, quick-time events, and enough hamartia to choke mighty Zeus himself.

Holding Legends of Troy in comparison to other brawlers on the market, the game feels paltry, cheap, and empty. Koei games are often criticized for their repetition and wafer-thin gameplay, and this game absolutely represents the worst traits of its modus operandi.

Sadly, it's awful.

With so many great games out, don't waste time on this ugly, repetitive misery.
