When I played my friend's Bushido Blade (first one), I found itamazing. So I went to buy the second one, and gues what? It sucksroyally. Of course, it was cool in the beginning, but I quickly got bored of it. There are fewer weapons, which is the major drawback when comparing with the first BB, and the story game is a total bore. There are many more characters, but most of them have very similar moves anyway. The best parts are probably the school vs. school fights. Anyway, I sold it to some gullible guy I know. Don't get this, get the original.
