    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

  1. 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]

    8 / 9 / 8 / 8 - 33 gold [Dec 2004]
  3. 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.
