Warriors Orochi 2

Just for the record, I love the Warriors series, and I think the two Warriors Orochi games have been my favorites of the lot. They clean up a number of the gameplay issues that earlier games had, have tons of characters and unlockables, and though the plots are mostly silly, they're not retreading the same material for the 6th time. And the biggest advantage I've always felt was that the series remains, as guadium_et_spes described DW3, "The most fun you'll ever have pressing the attack button over and over." There's a fair amount of the combat system really, but it's easy enough as a game that your non-gamer significant other will enjoy playing it with you.

Overall: A++ Would Buy Again.
