4 Stars Great game for the price
I actually purchased this game so that I could have a game on my 360 that my girlfriend would actually want to play with me. Before I purchased it I had my doubts because of the “empires” installment, which I had never played before, only the main DW’s. Well, as it turns out, not only does my girlfriend like it, I ended up liking it a lot as well.
I am a big fan of strategy games as well as action games and this gives you a little bit of both which is a nice little change of pace in a game where I normally just hack and slash untill I can hack and slash no more. While there are many positives about the game which I will not name, the only real dissapointments for me was the lack of a vs. battle mode against a second player and the fact that the voices in this game are HORRIBLE. There is no option for them to speak their native languanges and they often say the most repettive, stupid things, from a voice that you could not imagine comming from any of them. I rather just be able to read the subtitles.
All in all, I would definetly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of Dynasty Warriors and does not mind a little bit of strategy and thought inbetween those action packed levels.
3 Stars It is an ok game
First of all, the game has two mode only:
One mode you can choose your player as different character, the time as different history events to start your game and try to unite the whole China.
Second mode you can choose from different individual battles in history, and just play out that battle.
It does not have other challenge mode as I played before: where you can select your fighter, and see how many enemies you can kill before you run out of health, or, before you drop of the platform, or how many enemies you can kill before time runs out.
So this is a big minus for this game, I don’t have as much fun as I used to.
Secondly, as not a big crazy gamer, I want the game to have some easier choices: it would be great if I can have all the amulets and upgraded weapons at my resort, so I can have more fun. Here you have to fight through the game to get all these. I don’t have that patience for this, cause I have many other better games at my hand, this game is just a toy temporarily. Without all those secret weapons and amulets, it is really hard to challenge the game at normal or hard level, which is much more fun than easy and novice level. I know this cause I played dynasty warroirs the PC version, where I can use hack software to hack out all the secret locked items, and challenge the games at hard level, which was really fun.
So in all, it is just ok.
So over
4 Stars It’s Dynasy Warriors. What do you expect?
Like the title says, “What do you expect?”. You pick a country and go from one battlefield to another slaughtering the hordes of soldiers and the occasional general. In between the battlefields you have some “diplomacy” to handle. Basically you do some even MORE boring stuff than wading through the idiotic sea of soldiers.
If you’ve played one of these games in the series, you’ve played them all.
3 Stars Another one
Dynasty Warriors series offer the same button mashing, stress-relieving fun it always do and this version isn’t any different. The Empires version add the civil management element of the old Romance of Three Kingdoms of bygone days into the mix and adds a little variety, however not much. Diehard fan of the series would probably get this but otherwise, it’s really just the same as previous version.
5 Stars Great Game!
Got this for my 16 year old for Christmas. He really likes it and says it is alot of fun!
