    There's just no challenge there at all, the Chain Tactic system just allows you to buy a bunch of straightforward Attack techniques and stab the crap out of everyone.

    One fine tactical strategy series...It's just too bad that so little has been changed. This isn't Dynasty Tactics 2, it's "DT: Special Edition." [Nov 2003, p.77]

    A strangely captivating experience and a very strong entry in a sadly underserved genre. It's a huge improvement over the first game in numerous categories. [Nov 2003, p.41]

    I would hesitate to say that this game has more depth. It's more difficult but the strategy is still the same as the original. Once you figure out what all the new variables do, you'll think you're still playing the original game.

    Those thus far unacquainted with Koei’s output, but well versed in the likes of "Advance Wars" and "Final Fantasy Tactics," will find much to enjoy here.

    If you like strategy games, this is forgotten gem. I liked it a lot as a teen.

    Dynasty Warriors en tour par tour, c'est terriblement vilain mais un peu moins idiot qu'un Dynasty classique. Dans l'ensemble, l'interface estDynasty Warriors en tour par tour, c'est terriblement vilain mais un peu moins idiot qu'un Dynasty classique. Dans l'ensemble, l'interface est plutôt correcte à part la fenêtre d'info qui envahit la moitié de l'écran.

    Si les "tactiques" (aptitudes spéciales des unités) sont appréciables, leur utilisation absconse dans des chaînes ou combos (sic !) tient de la logique floue d'un salary man défoncé au saké qui vomit tout sur le quai.

    Dommage, car on aurait pu croire Koei capable d'un bon jeu de stratégie... or il n'en est rien : ils sont retournés à ce qu'ils savent faire à peu près : le beat'em all annuel complètement à la masse et la ramasse (on peut y jouer bourré, on ne voit pas la différence).    … Full Review »
