Very cool, lasts long, great gameplay.
Positive:
-Lots of characters.
-Can be played as a stand alone game, or as an expansion pack for the first SW.
-Pretty much modes.
-Gameplay is fun, but can be a bit repetitive after a while.
-Multiplayer modes, altough the Co-op mode is the most fun.
-Usage of items, weapons, skills and experience/levels, secret stuff to unlock!
-Graphics are pretty good.
-Good value.
-Great linkable moves and super moves (Musou-attacks).
-Historic characters.
Negative:
-Like I said, gameplay can be repetitive.
-Altough I don't own the first one, I think you're going to have a feeling that it's much like it.
-It's not very negative but it's easy, even the hardest mode can be pretty easy with a little skill.
