Summary: Repetitive

Reviewed by bcb123

Graphically Nice
Visually impressive. Slowdowns may occur at times, but these are actually pretty neat because you get to watch yourself kill baddies in slo-mo!

Load times
These get frustrating, especially since you fight in at least 10-20 areas in each stage.

Replay Value
This game can be highly addicting. You just keep wanting to come back and try different levels with different characters of different alliances, which in turn unlocks more playable characters.

Thoughts
This game should only be purchased by diehard fans of the classic hack and slash series on the PS2. Dynasty Warriors seems hastily put together and very repetitive because of the different areas in each stage. This puts a lot more strategy into the game and requires a lot of patience.

In the menu this game looks like a checkerboard with marks on it to show where different generals and their troops are. You have to move your squad from area to area to defeat enemy generals and destroy supply depots. This makes for an overall boring system of gameplay.

Abother thing is the weapons. In the old DWs you leveled up a weapon after different battles and this weapon was upgraded for all of the rest of the battles. In the PSP version, your weapon levels up very quickly, but during the battle. This means that the weapon is always at level 1 at the start of every battle! This did not encourage me to play the game at all.
