Cutting down armies is still as fun as it sounds

You'll also be able to appoint a bodyguard to follow your general around, which isn't new. What is new, however, is that you can link up with your retainer to deliver a two-person super attack that can devastate dozens of enemies in seconds. Each character also has a couple of super moves they can use by themselves, enabling them to do things like call down lightning strikes or make their weapons briefly more powerful. And if you'd like to buy new bodyguards, skills, weapon upgrades or even horses, you can do so at the between-mission shop.

  1. Suckas
  2. Your chosen general, a walking engine of destruction
  3. The real-time battlefield map (blue blotches = your army)
  4. Your current objective
  5. Your horse. You can buy these and ride them around
  6. A running tally of how many guys you've "knocked out"
  7. Your life meter and "Musou" super-attack energy meter

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
