Once again, I thought we were done with new playable characters, but now I find out that Warriors Orochi 2 will feature a giant playable boar. Only playable in Vs Mode and Survival Mode, the giant boar is slow, but super powerful and cheap as hell.

The above video shows the porcine pugilist in action, as well as a little of Taigong Wang and Shin Orochi, two of the other new characters. I've said this before, but Warriors Orochi 2 is looking to be the best of the Warriors games yet. Good show.

Okay, I've never been a big fan of these games, but that boar looks badass.

Were the opponents of the boar crap, or is the boar really difficult to attack?

Isn't this the boar from Journey to the West fame?

Sueng: It's possible, since The Monkey King is now a playable character.

Pew: It's PS2, unless they suddenly changed development out of nowhere. <_< Jim lies!

Boy, talk about porky's revenge. Made me think twice about the sausage in my Sauage McMuffin. Then again...I do like breakfast.

I hope this game comes to the 360. I need something to ween me out from the typical games of COD4, Halo 3 & so on.

well now...hurry up on over here. DW6 got stale rather quick thanks to most of the characters not being any different.

still I ask, where the hell is my Shin Da Ji?

This series alone, represents all that is stagnant, and mediocre about gaming. I wish we could stop seeing related stories unless there's a real piece of news.

I.e. "Koei plant, burned to ground! Millions of dollars in damage! No more Dynasty Warriors, ever! Film at 11."

The character animations are horrible. D:

The one on one (dueling) fighting looks like slap dash. But I hope that boar is at least playable for single player. I'd love to crunch down a few 150+ troops with that guy.

Nice Game :)
Nice homepage :)

I think, the following characters are very cool:

1- SHIN OROCHI= http://photobucket.com/image/shin%20orochi/Crimsondramon/ShinOrochiFullbody.png?o=2
2- Minamoto no Yoshitsune= http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/thedynastywarrior/Warriors%20Orochi%202/?action=view¤t=Yoshitsune_Minamoto_wo2.png
3- Sun Wunkong-(Monkey King)= http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/thedynastywarrior/Warriors%20Orochi%202/?action=view¤t=Sun_Wukong_wo2.png
