    The repetitive, but classic Dynasty Warriors gameplay is still perfectly intact and actually just a bit better than previous titles easily making this the best Dynasty Warriors game to date.

    The critic in me tells me this series needs to innovate, but as a gamer I'm once again completely satisfied by the experience. Defying conventional wisdom, Dynasty Warriors is unique in that the gameplay achieves a near perfect harmonious balanced and change would only upset that.

    Any hardcore DW fan will be ecstatic to find another billion hours of gameplay to wade through.

    Just be warned that this is one long, long fight and even though the game may be epic it would be nicer if it was not such a gigantic story that's slow to progress.

    If you are looking for an arcade slash game that has the option to use minor elements of strategy then I suggest getting this game; although in honesty there isn't much difference in this game compared to Samurai Warriors.
