Samurai Warriors Overrun the PSP

Koei's Japanese Dynasty Warriors-alike is headed to the PSP in a remarkably similar-sounding format.

First there was Dynasty Warriors and the destruction was massive. Then came Samurai Warriors, which was pretty much the same but swapped the Chinese out for Japanese warlords. And now you'll be able to take Samurai Warriors on the road in the brand new PSP incarnation.

Samurai Warriors: State of War is, much like Dynasty Warriors for PSP, a more bite-sized version of the console experience, purpose built so that you can get in snatches of eastern mayhem when you're in the queue at the bank or sitting at a red light.

Whether you're into knives, throwing stars or any of the other 16th century Japanese tools of war, you'll find something here to your liking. You command an officer on the battlefield, dealing out oblivion to those foolish enough to cross your path while still keeping enough of an eye on overall strategy to ensure your team comes out on top.

And if the legions of foes that populate the bloody battlefields and castles aren't enough for you, you'll also be able to tackle up to three other players in the PSP version's exclusive wireless multiplayer.
