 Overall fun experience March 10, 2008

Having played a few Dynasty Warriors and similar titles before, I knew what to expect from this game, and it met my expectations completely. Dynasty Warriors is just good, fun hack-and-slash game play with just enough character leveling to keep it interesting for a long time.
As with previous games, the story is broken down into separate characters, each with their own storyline. Until you level up a fair amount, some of the later battles in each story can be very difficult, but leveling up with free play is just as fun as playing through each story.
One thing I miss from the earlier title (either 4 or 5, can't remember which one) is the selection of personal guards, which level up along with your main character. Leveling up a warhorse in DW6 is fun, but not quite as fun as leveling several other secondary characters. Leveling a warhorse also requires you to use the horse a lot in each level, and I never liked the combat while on a horse as much.
The Good:
* Graphics - DW6 looks great, and the environments are more interesting than in previous games.
* Ladders - the addition of climbing offers another fun option when getting around.
* No lag - Previous games (PS2) had a LOT of lag. After 20+ hours with this game, I have not encountered any lag, and I love it.
* Replay value - with so many characters, each with a separate story line, and the variety of challenge modes, there is a lot of fun gameplay here.
The Bad:
* No Japanese audio - the English voice acting isn't horrible, but I would prefer the option of Japanese dialog w/ subtitles
* Two-player split-screen cannot be adjusted - This is my one big problem with the game. The screen is split horizontally, and on a wide screen tv this leaves each player with a very wide but very short field of view. This might work for some people, but I find it hard to see what I need to see at times, and I feel the game should have the option to split the screen vertically as well.
These are two minor bad points that do not detract much from the overall experience. I rate the game 5 stars for fun, and 4 stars overall because of these missing options. If you enjoy hack-and-slash game play, or even button-pressing madness, you will find a lot of fun in Dynasty Warriors.

Graphics are awesome! It is a combination of some of the earlier versions with the ability to win even better weapons that do greater damage! Definitely worth getting!

I've been collecting all Dynasty Warrios for PS2 from series 1 up to 5, and now Dynasty Warriors 6 in xbox. I totally love it.
The only thing I dislike is the apprerance of Lu Bu is ugly (supposed to be very handsome guy), and the map is too small.
Koei Hits The Mark With This One! April 13, 2008

I've generally liked Koei games from way back when they made games for the SNES. I'm pretty much a long time fan. I was pleasantly surprised with the recent installment of the Dynasty Warrior series. In the beginning I noticed the change in how many of the characters look and their weapons. Liu Bei looks radically different as well as the leader of Wu, Sun Jian. Wei warload Cao Cao looks pretty much the same. It's still the same basic hack and slash, but the enemy NPC's are a lot smarter than they were on previous incarnations. The game is a little more difficult to play through than it was before. There are newly designed levels and a new design system for leveling up that was utilized by Final Fantasy X. A definite buy for Koei fans.
 HUGE let down on Dw6 March 14, 2008

Dynasty Warriors 6 has finally came out! But there are alot of cons and pros about this game. Don't get me wrong. Dynasty Warriors is a great game, but i was disappointed about this game.
If you are new to the series, This game takes place in anicent china. back in AD. Their alot of small kingdoms but three come out the strongest. One is Shu (green team) followed by Liubei. Shu is mostly a people government (Democratic). Personally, i like shu. Next is Wu (Red team) Wu is govern by Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan. I don't know what kind of government they are. Last is Wei (blue team) followed be Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Rui, Cao Fang and Cao Huan. I don't know what kind of government they are either. You play whichever character from either kingdom and watch how their story unfolds. It's an hack and slash game, so be prepare for anything.
First, The game is great! The graphics, the characters, New weapon design and the new renbu system is great.There is a new duel event. When your battling an officer, a gong will ring and the people around you will form a circle. Pretty much fight to the death. Also the rebu system is good. Every time you kill someone, your rebu increases and so does your attack defense etc.. The graphics are improved and so is the camera system. The music is good and the detail of the new and improved weapons are amazing! There are new skills, horses and levels also in this game. The new duel event is awesome! They fix up everything! you will enjoy this game! The overall game is great but there are ALOT of cons..
The cons- They took out so far that i counted three officers. Pang De (Wei) Sun Ce's Wife (Wu) and my second favorite character Jiang Wei (Shu)
Not even the create your own warrior :/. There is ALOT of people that you can't play their Musuo mode like Cao Pi, Ling Tong, Wei Yan, Yue Ying, Xiao Qiao,Zhang He, (I can go on) So mad as i was, i went to koei website to complaint. Apparently, They don't accept complaints or suggestions (go figure). Some of the character's weapons don't even power up. For example Sun Ce, His weapon stays the same but the name changes. Big whoop. Also he has the same moves as the officers that have the same face. Half of the characters have the same moves as the warlords,warriors, and generals (The officers who have the same face).
Anyways, buy the game if you want! it's great but koei seem like they made this game in a rush.
