Dynasty Warriors 6 (Xbox 360, 2008)

I love this title so much, I just had to repurchase it after my previous copy got damaged. This game is a hack and slash game, you either love it to death or hate it with a vengeance. There really is no middle ground. For those who love this style of gaming, the new up to date graphics as well as characters and move sets are an improvement from previous games

Above all, the achievements in this game can all be gotten by just grinding through. No super skill needed, if you got a good chunk of time on your hand then the achievements will just fly at you.

DW 6 continues to be just an overall great game to play! At times it can seem repetitive, but you just choose another character and switch up every so often. I own every single one since DW 3, and it keeps the maps, combat, and graphics to steadily improve over each game.

The only issue is I wish the had intertwined all the new features and benefits to throughout each game. It seems they add something and remove something to compensate for it.

If they kept some of the original perks I would have given it a 5 star.




It's classic though and I highly recommend it!!

This is a great game. I heard most people either love it or hate it. I'm one of those people that love it. The problem i had with this game is the fact that they excluded most of the playable characters from previous games and changed Guan Ping's weapon [previously a big sword but now is a spear or halberd or whatever]. There are few character choices, and made dynasty warriors more of a button smashing game by removing the old square, square, triangle or square, square, square, triangle combos into just nonstop square combo hits and using triangle to break gaurds . However, despite the flaws, i still enjoyed this game. I enjoyed the horse level up system and the new character level up. I also enjoyed the amazing graphics, they were absolutely amazing. There's also a new system called renbu gait, where the more enemies you kill, your renbu gait gauge fills up and makes you stronger. I'm not so fond of this system because even if youre high level, you would be really weak at the beginning of the mission and you'd have to kill quite a few people to get the gauge up. Then to prevent it from decreasing you have to: stay on your horse [with special renbu gait skill you get form leveling it], get a weapon with the renbu gait skill on it, or kill nonstop and excessively. The replay value on this game is very high, but i just wished they kept most of the characters and allowed for most of the characters to have a musou mode, just not accessible only through free mode or 2nd player musou mode gameplay.

This edition of the dynasty warriors is much like the others. The ability to climb ladders & swim is a nice touch. The negative is the far clipping. Enemy characters fade & disapear way to close to you. It's hard to tell haw many there are & where they are coming from. The game it's self is as fun as all the others. Worth the buy if you get it for a good price. DW7 is supposed to be a step better than this one. DW6 was the first for the new gen plkatforms & I really think they dropped the ball a bit.

Love this game. I've played every one since DW2 and will keep playing every one that comes out. They made some changes that are great (dedicated horse, can go anywhere/swimming, targets within levels, skills) and others that are not so great (less characters for Musou mode, no arrows, changing of some characters' weapons), but that comes with the constant evolution of the game. Overall, it still plays very well and I think the replay value is great. It just doesn't get old...at least not for me.
