    DW6 is perhaps the weakest entry in the franchise which for once does actually warrant the low scores, I am a big fan of the series so it does rather pain me do be blatantly honest with this games. Probably my least favourite character designs, the gameplay though it adds to aspect for the most part is made to feel the most repetitive and samey of the DW games. It also doesn't help thatDW6 is perhaps the weakest entry in the franchise which for once does actually warrant the low scores, I am a big fan of the series so it does rather pain me do be blatantly honest with this games. Probably my least favourite character designs, the gameplay though it adds to aspect for the most part is made to feel the most repetitive and samey of the DW games. It also doesn't help that it feels like many character have the same weapons unlike previous and the following games in the series.

    It felt like a come down from DW5 in all regards besides graphics as it was the first DW game on the PS3 and thus took advantage (though I still think it could have taken even more).

    One of the pros is that some characters have more historically accurate weapons such as Zhou Tai ditching his random Katana, this is however countered by a con where the characters who have spears, flails and whips all feel like the same character with only slight tweaks to the move sets.

    Avoid 6, you are actually better off playing 2-5 before this entry in the franchise or more importantly play 7 and 8 which do actually have notable improvements in gameplay and challenge.

    I am kind of dislike the new Renbu system, it is quite different from the previous titles.

  1. Hideous dialogue, repetitive gameplay.
  2. I guess Dynasty Warriors 6 is not the perfect harmony Koei or the fans were hoping for.

    Too bad it handles like a remote-control car, bolting from a stand-still to top speed in an instant. I'll pass. [Apr 2008, p.73]
