Dynasty Warriors 2 (真・三國無双) is the second game in Koei's Dynasty Warriors series, available on Playstation 2. This game was released in Japan as Shin (True) Sangokumusou. This game was released in other countries as Dynasty Warriors 2, leading to the discrepancy in title numbers.
Gameplay
From this game onward, the player chooses a playable character general, and plays through a number of levels representing particular conflicts in the time of the three kingdoms, eventually defeating both of the other kingdoms and becoming the ruler of a unified China. However this game is not a one-on-one fighting game like the original Dynasty Warriors, but a beat 'em up hack and slash fighting game in full 3D, similar in genre to Fighting Force. Unlike previous games in the beat 'em up genre, Dynasty Warriors 2 allowed players the freedom to roam to any point within the limits of the current stage being played.
This game was the first to introduce Free Mode and Musou Mode to the series. The Free Mode allowed the player to replay any missions that they have already completed in Musou Mode. The Musou Mode is the character's main story, where you play as the officer until the kingdom you are fighting for has unified China. However, due to the small scale of the game at the time, many important battles were missing. This was fixed in Dynasty Warriors 3, as many of the missing battles were added there.
Characters
This game features the same characters from the original Dynasty Warriors, while several new characters are added.
