    A very good beat'm up. Fast paced action, lots of characters and lots of enemies. Some minor issues that does not affect to the gameplay. Bad if you are looking for an adventure game, tactical game or a deep history.

    this game is a ddictive...you will not i repeat not let go of this game when your used to it...with over 40 characters to choose from and great combos, who wouldnt want a fast-paced game like this...i must admit that graphics are a little bad...but the story and addiction in it offsets the graphics completely.

    Being new to the series, I was blown away by the large scale conflicts and dynamic battlefields. A huge roster of warriors with their own story gives this game plenty of replay value even if the combat differences between them is less than one might hope.

A huge roster of warriors with their own story gives this game plenty of replay value even if the combat differences between them is less than one might hope. The map of the battlefield and the use of a supply bar give each stage a sense of scope. Gameplay is not too complex and instead allows the player to indulge in epic battles between soldiers, captains and generals. This lack of complexity does, however, become the games biggest weakness, with the player eventually becoming bored and craving more depth. Graphically, the game disappoints, with environments and lower class soldiers looking downright embarrassing at times.… Expand

    The visuals are choppy, the controls unresponsive and the sound leaves a lot to be desired. I just couldn't get into this game.

    Don't buy this game! I repeat - don't buy this game. If you are a fan of the console versions, you will hate it. If you have never played it, you will hate it more. The game takes place on a small, TV-sized screen on the left, not taking full advantage of the PSP. Also, the graphics stink! No extra effort went into making this a great PSP game. But, the worst part of it all? Don't buy this game! I repeat - don't buy this game. If you are a fan of the console versions, you will hate it. If you have never played it, you will hate it more.

    I have done my reaserch and this game is not so great. Obviously I haven't played it cuz imports cost too much, but this game could have been so much more (literally). They could have had a DW with a full widescreen, but instead they fill a third of the screen with status stuff and a map. They invented the little health bar in the top left corner so you wouldn't need to takeI have done my reaserch and this game is not so great.

I would guess that if your insanely in love with the series that it will be fun, but for the rest of us... just don't even bother. (Check out Wipeout Pure!!!)… Expand

    I really can't see what anyone sees in this game. A newcomer to the series, I felt like there was no point other than mindless slaughter that went on forever. I kept advancing in levels even though I had no idea what my objective was. It got traded in within a week.

    Its ugly , everything looks nasty in every way, combined with a desperate rock music as a background , makes the pace desperate and amusing. Still, the action or battles ( whatever they are ) have a nice value , and sometimes feels interesting . The AI is laughable , one of the enemies attacked me and then he stood there , starring me like 20 seconds ,after that he did that repeatedly .Its ugly , everything looks nasty in every way, combined with a desperate rock music as a background , makes the pace desperate and amusing.

    Barely playable. Long and absurd loadin screens, fog everywhere, only a few characters in screen at any point. Boring.

    For the promising set-up, it collapses in the heat of battle. Nearly a full third of the PSP’s screen is filled by a clumsy status display, clipping the peripheral vision that would have been so useful in the chaos of a Dynasty scrum. [Feb 2005, p.79]

    Diehard fans of the series will probably be pleased simply because they can take Dynasty Warriors with them everywhere, though if you haven't been impressed by the series lately, this simplified handheld installment won't do anything to reel you in.
