    A game with gorgeous models, intense combos, magic-driven action, and a cast of characters that make character selection a really tough decision. [Oct 2002, p.84]

    The frantic fighting and creative spell-casting are highly addictive, and the difficulty is where I'd want it to be. [Oct 2002, p.86]

    An action game with appealing and simple gameplay but with flat characters and no connective tissue.

    The frustrating camera and repetitive gameplay will ward off most older players after a few hours.

    It’s just that it isn’t all that fun, nor a worthy purchase for any serious gamer.

    This game adds a lot of great stuff to KOEI's long-in-the-tooth Dynasty Warriors formula, but the sum experience is still way too repetitive to be enjoyable. [Oct 2002, p.42]

Smooth gameplay as well as smooth quality graphics and effects. Not just a typical 'kill all' game, though it is teh basic idea, it makes you think more strategically and some of the secrets are supurbly awesome!
