    Perfect for those who want nothing but a straightforward, hack-and-slash game. It won't offer you substance, style, or even repeat gaming, but at least you won't need any illicit drugs to make your mind numb.
  2. 30
    A sterling example of how to make a quick buck by capitalizing on the name recognition of a specific series without providing an experience that is memorable in any way, shape or form.
  3. It wasn't appropriate to make a GBA Dynasty Warriors, and the inevitable disappointment of an already extremely tired series has been fully realised.
  4. 30
    Something that only a true fan could appreciate. If this isn't an indicator to KOEI to let this series move on to greener pastures, I don't know what is.
  5. 40
    Dreadfully dull action on the GBA that truncates and abridges the over-the-top, crowded weapon-based brawler action established in several PlayStation 2 titles.
  6. In the end, the capabilities of the GBA are not enough to house an even tolerable rendition of Dynasty Warriors.

    Una pena porque la idea podría haber funcionado, pero no tarda mas de 2/3 en volverse cansino y monótono. Desde el minuto 1 tienes disponiblesUna pena porque la idea podría haber funcionado, pero no tarda mas de 2/3 en volverse cansino y monótono. Desde el minuto 1 tienes disponibles los pocos movimientos que tu personaje puede hacer, y son pocos. Un ataque especial, un ataque normal, y 3 combos. Eso es todo. Vale para un rato, pero las mecánicas se vuelven repetitivas en cuestion de un par de horas. Un sistema de combos mas complejo y avanzado lo habría convertido en un gran juego. Al final es todo el rato atacar, atacar, atacar a enemigos simplones que no aguantan 4 estocadas. Solopara fans acérrimos de la saga. Full Review »

    'Tis a good hack 'n slash game if you don't want to think too hard. I feel you'd have to be a die-hard fan of the 'Tis a good hack 'n slash game if you don't want to think too hard. I feel you'd have to be a die-hard fan of the PS2's dynasty warrior games to appreciate this game, though. Full Review »
