    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

    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.
