| Summary: Fun But No Multiplayer?
80
First off I have to say how much of a sin it was that this game didn't have a multiplayer option. Dynasty Warriors is best played with a friend and having the PSP version not have the multiplayer option really stinks but besides that the game is actually quite difficult and fun for a singleplayer game.
I will start off with the graphics which are quite good compared to the PS2 version in some ways its hard to tell the difference between the games when your just looking at the action screen. But because the game will have you face off with 500-1000 enemies each level the game will slow down in situations where theres 20-30 enemies on the screen which can be annoying since it does mess you up and when your surrounded by 20 guys thats not a good thing.
The textures were very surprising though, especially the characters, you can easily see the plates of armor and diffrenct levels of clothing which does give the characters much more detail.
Now I will go into the sounds in the game which are done very well. The music in this game is great, I don't expect Chinese warriors to be listening to Heavy Rock but in this game it fits very well. The SFX are also done very well since your hitting so many enemies at once the sound has to be synced so you can hear each enemy's scream and this is done perfectly. When you're in a huge battle the SFX almost block out the background music which gives you the feeling of being in a large scale battle which is another plus.
Now for gameplay which I've come to believe is a little better than the PS2 version. They've added more options in the PSP version for making more combos which is nice and there seems to be more unique character moves then the ps2 version. They've also added a captain mode which is very helpful since the game is singleplayer. Captain mode gives you the chance to assign certain captains to your team some come with helpful abilites like rally which increases your troops morale. You can unlock more captains throughout the game and trade them also.
Now for the things I thought made the game receive an 80. First off, no multiplayer which I've explained before was just a terrible thing to do since this game would have easily gotten a 100 if they would have implemented it. The other reason this game gets an 80 is because of the map screen, every other Dynasty Warriors game would let you ride throughout the entire level but in the PSP game the level is cut down to 10-20 diffrent sections of battlefield. This slows down the gameplay and takes away from the real time strategy that the PS2 version had.
In the end Dynasty Warriors is a pretty good singleplayer game with a lot of replayable action.
