The sequel to the game, Dynasty Warriors, could now be found within the hollowed halls of Western store shelves. Yup, being poetic may not suit us, so we guess we'll give it to you straight. KOEI Corporation just announced that Dynasty Warriors Vol.2 has shipped to retailers throughout North America.

The game is loosely based on 14th century Chinese author Luo Guanzhong's work, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The book is a Chinese historical novel that tackled the turbulent events that occurred during the twilight of China's Han Dynasty which was followed by the Three Kingdoms period.

Anyway, back to the game, you'll be able to rough it up in a four-player Battle Royal Mode - that is if you got sick of the 31 maps, more than 50 stages, 300 unlockable officers, 48 dynasty warriors, parts of the bargain. It's a good thing that you don't have to take our word for it anymore since you can buy it and experience it for yourself, now that it has shipped.
