    This Game was good , but in the long term it became a little repetitive , hack n slashing your way through 1000's of enemies is fun but it becomes repetitive , the graphics were OK , like the other reviews say if you're a fan of the series you will love it , or else you will find it to be too repetitive

    Another Dynasty Warrior game? They could have at least made it in a higher resolution. If I didn't like the Romance Of Three Kingdoms series and the games based on that story I would have given this game a 5 and go on a rant about how unimaginative and lazy game developers are!

If I didn't like the Romance Of Three Kingdoms series and the games based on that story I would have given this game a 5 and go on a rant about how unimaginative and lazy game developers are! If you're new to Dynasty Warriors here's the basic rundown of the game: You have 3 kingdoms to choose from, lots of characters with different fighting styles, you hack and slash your way through hundreds of enemies until you control all three kingdoms. I know what to expect from these games, but you may not. If you're new to the Dynasty Warriors series, my advice is to rent it first if you're able to.… Expand

    The amount of game you get is impressive, Complete and no need for the DLC which is meaningless to the game. Finally a publisher gets it right. On that note, the game is the same ole game everyone has come to know dynasty warriors for. Button pusher, hack and slash game that seems to never get old.

    Classic Dynasty Warriors game. The game is massive, and you have a lot of different characters to play. The story is lackluster, and it's not a big improvement from previous installments.

    The gameplay is little more than a refined Dynasty Warriors 7. The gameplay improvements are ultimately negligible beyond the addition of less than a handful of new movesets. Some of these movesets are unbearable and terrible too, such as Zhuge Dan's baton or Zhang Bao's weapon.
    Stages ultimately drag on for far too long, often making you run back and forth across the map.

    Stages ultimately drag on for far too long, often making you run back and forth across the map.
    The Ambition Mode is a sluggish series of five stages that you have to grind for hours on end. The second stage of this mode is a ill conceived attempt at adding a layer of strategy, but ultimately pigeonholes you into playing each map the exact same as to minimize how many times you'll be forced to replay a stage.
    The presentation of a story is at best bland, at worst tripe. The hypotheticals are uninspired and unrewarding.    … 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]
