    Dynasty Warriors 3 xtreme legends is a game that really brought the gaming spirit out of me playing it. The main point I want to bring up about the game is the bodyguards. Those dudes and now chics! Make the game all worth wild. From when they start from mere fledgelings as privates, to where they go off and actually kick the S@#$ out of most of all folks they come in contact with is an Dynasty Warriors 3 xtreme legends is a game that really brought the gaming spirit out of me playing it.

From when they start from mere fledgelings as privates, to where they go off and actually kick the S@#$ out of most of all folks they come in contact with is an experience to me that never gets boring. I mean you work your butt off to keep them from getting killed at first. But when they turn into the supreme guard class of warriors, it's on!! And don't let one of those folks get killed, vengence is a mother!^%@#!! … Expand

    A wicked game you don't want to miss out on. The first 2 player Dynasty Warriors game. Fast paced Chinese 3 kingdoms time. Play as a General from wei wu or shu. A game you dont want to forget.

    I loved this game, although once u get ur character all the way powered up and get your 5th weapon it gets boring.

    Even if it can get repetitive, the storyline is great and I'm glad that female characters take a more active role in the game. What I really like is the BG music.

    i'm a huge DW fanatic.. and its a major goody... only reason i'm putting it as a 9 instead of a 10 is cuz the 5th weapons are nowhere to be found by my opinion, and the fact that u can't distinguish SKINS for each specific body guard =P otherwise major DIBSSS... also.. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE A D@^^N FAQ ABOUT THIS GAME SO I CAN GET MY G0|) D@^^N 5th WEAPONS ALREADY!!!!

    This game is very unique. i have 7 reason for it. 1/ Ranks: for competition 2/5 Weapons for each general. 3/Go anywhere and fightb the way you like. 4/Bodyguards (all the edit and craps). 5/Lots of Characters.(females/males general) 6/20 stages and hidden items/weapons. 7/tight customes and movie gallery edit/soundtrack/etc. Unlike any other games this game Last for years with enjoyment.

    The Dynasty Warriors series still is on top on my fighting list. I wonder when the series will fall flat.

    Man this game is tough i only got about six 5th weapons it adds on from DW3 and just gets a whole lot better the cool thing is that you can load the original features and play it in Xtreme Legends.

    If you don't have DW3, buy this, if you do, wait until 4 comes out in a few months, unless you really really really want to play as Liu Bu.

    Hardcore fans of this Koei action series will be in affordable expansion pack heaven, since Xtreme Legends delivers more of what made “DW3” such a challenging and amusing button-masher of a 3D “Final Fight” clone.

    For hard-core fans of the previous games, it'll serve as a decent holdover until "Dynasty Warriors 4" comes out.

    It's aimed at hardcore Dynasty afficionados... more of the same Dynasty brawling, but it's discount price makes it easy on the wallet. [Feb 2003, p.135]
