About Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends

Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends (SW2XL)
introduces six new playable characters to the series, including Toshiie Maeda,
Gracia, Motochika Chosokabe, Katsuie Shibata, Kojiro Sasaki, and Yoshimoto
Imagawa.

In the new Mercenary mode, players will get the
chance to hire other samurai to fight alongside them.

SW2XL can be "remixed" with Samurai Warriors 2
(SW2) to add new Xtreme Legends features to SW2 (sold separately). With the
Remix feature, players can use the characters from SW2 in SW2XL. Players can
also play SW2’s Story mode, Survival mode and Sugoroku modes using SW2XL’s new
characters. The Remix feature also increases character growth level maximums
from 50 to 70, adds new charge attacks and adds a 5th weapon level to each of
the original Samurai Warriors 2 characters.

SW2XL for Xbox 360 requires the original Samurai
Warriors 2 game disc (sold separately), and will be available exclusively on
Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 2400 Microsoft Points.

SW2XL for the PlayStation 2 can be played with or
without the original Samurai Warriors 2 game disc. Consumers can find SW2XL for
PlayStation 2 at the following retailers: Amazon.com, Best Buy, Game Crazy,
GameStop, Gamefly, EB Games, and Wal-Mart.

Developed by Omega Force, KOEI’s award-winning
internal team, SW2XL is a 1-2 player game, with 2-player Co-op in Story and Free
modes. SW2XL is rated "T" (Teen- Mild Language, Violence), by the ESRB.
