Reminiscent of Rei Kondoh's work on Okamiden, "Demons Raining Down from Heaven" is one of the series' most beautiful tracks. That said, not all the music in the soundtrack is light. The contrasting original themes for Kotaro Fuuma and Yoshimoto Imagawa are also highlights with their punchy melodies and beats. It still captures the intensity of the hack-n-slash action, but is somehow uplifting and endearing too. The lighter sound of the soundtrack is further reflected with one of the few reprises on the soundtrack, "Yukimura Sanada's Theme", with its flute lead and electronic beats. "A Hero's Victorious Return" will also put a smile on most listener's faces, though sometimes sounds contrived due to its weaker melody. Whereas previous scores focused on dark rock-orchestral fusions, this track is pumped with entrancing beats and motivating beats. "Breaking Through Takeda's Front Line" further reflects the renewed sound of the series. While not remarkable in themselves, in a wider sense they're a welcome shift from the occasionally tired sound of the franchise. More heroic textures are captured in preparation themes such as "Rivalry of Local Warlords" and "On the Verge of Battle", all of which synchronise motivating melodies with military motifs. It's refreshing how Rei Kondoh deviates from the series' dense sound here to offer warm piano and string parts. The track shares the militaristic and courageous influence of "Inspiration" from Sengoku Basara 2, but is considerably lighter in both melody and texture. The opening theme for "Heroes" continues the series' transition towards more accessible sounds. These tracks were presented on a separate soundtrack in 2007. The team of T's Music, including Masayoshi Ishi and Rei Kondoh, reunited to create over 30 new pieces for the game in a range of emotions and styles. These story modes are fun, but also serve as a way to get new costumes for the characters.Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes was an enhanced version of Sengoku Basara 2, featuring mutliplayer gameplay, new characters, and an enhanced soundtrack. There is another mode called Gaiden Story Mode which is a story mode that is shorter, but lets you play as more characters. The game has a story mode where you play as one of three characters and each one has their own story to experience so there is a reason to play the story with each character. I was very impressed with the number of game modes that were on offer here. One thing I like is how there is a great selection of characters and each one has its own playstyle so experimenting is fun. It is pure mayhem with tons of enemies coming at you at once and you needing to unleash devastating combos to put them in their place. I love hack and slash games such as a God of War, Devil May Cry, and of course, Dynasty Warriors and that is the kind of game we have here with Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes. The gameplay of this is something I really like. Plus, the soundtrack does a great job of jacking you up as you play. It looks great, moves at 100 miles per hour and even though this is a franchise I am not all that familiar with, I appreciate the fantastic artwork and attention to detail that is happening here. The whole game has a very polished look to it and you can clearly tell that Capcom had tapped the PlayStation 2 to its limit with this game.
