    It may be fun, but no amount of political (and entertaining) backstabbing can hide the fact that, at the end of the day, this is still Dynasty Warriors 6 with a slight incentive to keep hacking and slashing.

    Unfortunately, for everything that Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires does right, it does several things to remind you that this is the exact same game as DW2, way back in 2000; from the combat to the graphical design and quality, the series has been treading water for years.

    I think OmegaForce can't do anythink except copyPaste game. They always did same things and it work ok. But this part is worst. All what theyI think OmegaForce can't do anythink except copyPaste game. They always did same things and it work ok. But this part is worst. All what they can broke - they did it. Enemy general always spawn and go to attack main base, you cant catch enemy main base before cath another supply base. The heroes move slow, supper power is ussles. Game totally unplayeble. I like copy paste Omega games, but this part they totally missed. Don't play it in any coast… Full Review »

I have found myself turning this game on for just one battle as well as sitting all night all hyped up on Rockstar's. I gave it an 8 instead of a 10 because there is room for bettering in the fact that I wish there was a little more customization and I wish there was a free roam or "arcade" style like before instead of only being able to play the "empire mode" which is the story mode. This doesn't make that much of a downside but it is something that could be done like prior DW's. I also like the fact that instead of square/triangle button combos that they integrated "specials" by holding L2 and whatever button you wish to coordinate. I specifically like the combo of "double" and "steal" which would then make a double of yourself and then steal gold from the opponents with every hit. The addition of "Empire Mode" is a wonderful aspect, being able to leave certain kingdom leaders for others is great however I wish they would incorporate something like a "relationship" meter so you know where you stand with each leader, you can easily leave and come back however many times without really any punishment. All n all a great game to zone out on and slash the night away, this game keeps me entertained until the best hack n slash ever comes out later, Diablo.… Full Review »
