It is an ok game First of all, the game has two mode only:
One mode you can choose your player as different character, the time as different history events to start your game and try to unite the whole China.
Second mode you can choose from different individual battles in history, and just play out that battle.
It does not have other challenge mode as I played before: where you can select your fighter, and see how many enemies you can kill before you run out of health, or, before you drop of the platform, or how many enemies you can kill before time runs out.
So this is a big minus for this game, I don't have as much fun as I used to.
Secondly, as not a big crazy gamer, I want the game to have some easier choices: it would be great if I can have all the amulets and upgraded weapons at my resort, so I can have more fun. Here you have to fight through the game to get all these. I don't have that patience for this, cause I have many other better games at my hand, this game is just a toy temporarily. Without all those secret weapons and amulets, it is really hard to challenge the game at normal or hard level, which is much more fun than easy and novice level. I know this cause I played dynasty warroirs the PC version, where I can use hack software to hack out all the secret locked items, and challenge the games at hard level, which was really fun.
So in all, it is just ok.
So over
Great Game! Got this for my 16 year old for Christmas. He really likes it and says it is alot of fun!
It's Dynasy Warriors. What do you expect? Like the title says, "What do you expect?". You pick a country and go from one battlefield to another slaughtering the hordes of soldiers and the occasional general. In between the battlefields you have some "diplomacy" to handle. Basically you do some even MORE boring stuff than wading through the idiotic sea of soldiers.
If you've played one of these games in the series, you've played them all.
Replay Value Extremely High Simply, put, I've never owned a game with more replay value. I could play this game forever. Even after I get a new game I still keep coming back to this one...
Dynasty Warriors--a gift I bought another version of dynasty warriors about a year ago and I hated it. I think it is a preference for a different kind of game play since when I bought this version for my boyfriend he loved it. He is much more talented at video games than I am anyhow. The graphics and music is great and other than the fact that it is a little too entertaining for boyfriends, I would recommend it. ;)
