Product Description
Dynasty Warriors 6 will deliver the massive scale and realistic atmosphere that players have come to expect from the series, but will redefine the Dynasty Warriors' Tactical Action experience. With a new fighting system and entirely new action and motion, players can string together fighting moves and experience gameplay that closely resembles the action of a kung-fu movie. These changes The new combo system, tentatively called the "Renbu" system, requires specific button presses to unleash a variety of dazzling moves that will mimic the fighting movements seen in a Chinese martial arts movies. The system uses a Combo Gauge, which as it fills up, increases the Combo Level, which in turn allows the character to unleash even more powerful attacks and moves. The objective of this "Renbu" system is to add more visual stimulation while providing a sense of control over the action on screen.
Famous events of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms such as sieges and large-scale ship battles were previously shown only through event scenes. Now these exciting moments will be portrayed in real-time, with in-game action sequences. Players will not only see these events, but also live them, thereby recreating the feeling of actually being on the battlefield in ancient China.

 Disappointed October 16, 2008

I really wanted to enjoy this game. It was entertaining for the first hour then it just got old. Bad draw distance and frustrating controls. Extremely repetitive.
 Absolutely Horrible September 13, 2008

Played the first level of this game the day I got it in and I was in total shock and awe at quite a few aspects of it (and not in a good way). The controls are barely par, the graphics look almost as if you're playing on a Nintendo Wii and it's just not even fun to play. Maybe the genre just isn't for me but I HIGHLY recommend renting this title or playing a demo before buying it. I wouldn't even trade any other title I own to get this one to be honest. Hope this helps and good luck.
 A step backwards for Dynasty Warriors June 6, 2008

Dynasty Warriors 6 marks the tenth or so game in this series by Koei, and it seems they're finally starting to make some changes. However, in this instance, they have largely been for the worse, and veteran fans like myself can't help but feel a bit dejected by the technical flaws, terrible story and characterisation, and complete lack of strategy.
As far as the story goes, most characters spend their time standing around looking broodingly into the distance, pretentiously pondering what all the carry-on is about and reluctantly going into battle only to discover their true selves and their destinies.
Although the graphics have improved a great deal (especially the environments) the gameplay seems to have regressed into an even more monotonous button-mash blow-out and still lacks any kind of strategy (unless you count "race around and do everything yourself" a strategy).
What's more is that everything slows down in big battles, which I didn't think would be happening on the new platforms. Another surprise is that the drawing distances of enemy soldiers are pathetic, which is really not good enough for the next-gen consoles, especially considering games like Dead Rising where you can have hundred of visible enemies on screen at any time.
Overall, I get the impression that someone new to the series might be quite delighted by their discovery of the Dynasty Warriors world. However, those like me who have compulsively been playing these games for some time will most likely be disappointed by what seems like a regression into even more mindless gameplay that completely lacks any strategy whatsoever.

If you enjoy the old streets of rage and final fight then you will love this game. Also it has many major improvements over the rest of the games in the series. If you enjoyed any of the previous dynasty warriors games then you will love this.
Koei Hits The Mark With This One! April 13, 2008

I've generally liked Koei games from way back when they made games for the SNES. I'm pretty much a long time fan. I was pleasantly surprised with the recent installment of the Dynasty Warrior series. In the beginning I noticed the change in how many of the characters look and their weapons. Liu Bei looks radically different as well as the leader of Wu, Sun Jian. Wei warload Cao Cao looks pretty much the same. It's still the same basic hack and slash, but the enemy NPC's are a lot smarter than they were on previous incarnations. The game is a little more difficult to play through than it was before. There are newly designed levels and a new design system for leveling up that was utilized by Final Fantasy X. A definite buy for Koei fans.
