    Endless variations on battles and the ability to customize characters make this game a good value for serious fans. People looking for less involvement and hack-and-slash may want to rent or avoid this title altogether.

    Nope, it's nothing so revolutionary as to woo haters, but for fans, it's a welcome return of the best of the offshoots.

    You're getting the combat and battlefield strategy of the regular titles, combined with some of the more strategy-like elements of the Empire series.

    A fine addition to a flagging empire. [Aug 2009, p.119]

    Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires had nice-looking visuals, but the strong point was its great beat-em-up combat. At the very least, it is a good quality game for the price.

    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 »
