    Same old doodah with no improvements from the very first game.

    I guess I'm one of those people who hate this game series, as none of the previous instalments have struck a chord either. It's just frustratingly boring. If you care about ancient Chinese history... Well... Buy a history book, because you'll get the details much faster that way. Also, you won't break your thumb pressing    Same old doodah with no improvements from the very first game.

    What a waste of time.    … Expand

    This game is absolutely horrible.. If you haven't played a Dynasty Warriors game in a long time and were expecting updated graphics, movements, controls, and just a better game then the first couple Dynasty Warrior games.. .You are out of luck.. This game is wretched and shouldn't be played until Konami can actually update and make a new game.. yeah it has a lot of content, but thatThis game is absolutely horrible..

    Although I wouldn't quite give it a 1, I have to agree with another reviewer here. I played this game years ago on console and expected this to be an actual Next-gen graphics game, albeit with the same type of hack and slash gameplay. Nope. The graphics look dated. The resolution is locked at 720p and if I try to run this game in windowed mode, I can't even decide what size the window is.Although I wouldn't quite give it a 1, I have to agree with another reviewer here.

    The animations are as wooden as I recalled them to be, no next-gen physics either.

    And the tutorial? Well find the "Arrow + Horse" button on your gamepad. Or like it says press the "sword button." Really?

    I played this game for hours on end in its earlier reincarnation on console, so it's not like I didn't know what type of game to expect, to the point where I remember the sounds... That's right they haven't updated those either.

    I'm so disappointed to have spent the money on this "new version" yet I hardly see anyone mention just how unbelievably unchanged this game is.    … Expand

    The jump to a new console hasn't done all that much for visuals in general, but the game is undoubtedly neater and smoother than it once was. [Issue#148, p.115]
