    A Lot of - many INNOVATIONS and CHANGES in the game DYNASTY WARRIORS 6

    I am from Germany. I can not speak English well. I translate my letter to the translation engine "Google":

    (I have played the "Japanese-Version" of the game "DYNASTY WARRIORS 6", aka "SHIN SANGOKU MUSOU 5". I have played the game total about 10 to 15 hours.)

    My REVIEW:

    I think the "Dynasty Warriors" series is one of the interesting series. Although "KOEI" in the game for years no major changes and innovations made, it still makes for a lot of fans are still very fun.

    It is true that "KOEI" since "Dynasty Warriors 3" no major changes made. One of the reasons is because it is very difficult for the game "Dynasty Warriors" to make many changes. Because in the game the battle on a big card takes place, and where hundreds of thousands of opponents on the field, and because it is difficult, all in real-time display, even with a live report card and protocol. Because everything happens in real time. And also, there is at "Dynasty Warriors" about 40 playable characters, and everyone has a different weapon and various attack-, fight- and Musou-movements (techniques). It is even very difficult to have a game to produce that have all these properties, and even on the PS2.
    Therefore, it is very difficult for years been major changes and improvements to make. There was always only small changes and small changes. Some fans wanted so, but some not.

    But, this time the game "Dynasty Warriors 6" is different, for "PS3".
    At "DYNASTY WARRIORS 6" has been very many changes and innovations. Both of her graphics, as well as from her scenario, as well as the characters ... Etc. ..
    Because when you the "PS3" on the "Blu-ray" Disc you can much more save data, "KOEI" now all of the changes and improvements made, which have been years when PS2 could not do.

    Now I come to the innovations and changes in the "Dynasty Warriors 6". I have played the "Japanese-Version" of the game "Dynasty Warriors 6", aka "SHIN SANGOKU MUSOU 5". I have played the game total about 10 to 15 hours. I have played alone and Coop (2 Player).

    "Dynasty Warriors 6" is a mix of "Action", "Real-Time Strategy", "Beat'em up" and "Hack&Slay".
    There are a total of 41 playable characters. Of these, 9 have at the beginning of the game. The other 32 playable characters you must unlock.

    "The Positives":

    + The characters all have a *new outfit* (new look) and *new costumes*.
    + The characters all have *new weapons*.
    + The characters all have *new attack* and *new fight techniques*. The characters have acrobatic and elegant attacks.
    + There are 3 elements for weapons: Fire, Ice, Lightning.
    + There are 32 unlock characters.
    + You can either play alone, but also Coop (2-Player).
    + At the game must be broken the normal doors with sword. And the big doors must be broken (prepared) with for siege machines and catapults broken.(in real-time)
    + The characters can now *swim* and even on *horseback swimming*. (in real-time).
    + Now you can *ride boats* and you can *climb ladders*. (in real-time).
    + At the game, there are also a lot of *strategy* elements. (in real-time).
    + Especially these characters have very good new weapons and very very good new fighting techniques = For example, "Liu Bei", "Xiahou Dun", "Zhao Yun", "Lu Bu", "Zhou Yu", "Sima Yi", "Yue Ying", "Zhen Ji", "Lu Xun" and "Zhuge Liang".
    + And you can make infinitely long *combos*. On the screen is a "combo" counter.
    + And there's the new, for the characters different for each specific *"RENBU SYSTEM"*. The system is different for each character. The system comes with the character development and meet with certain orders always evolving, so that new Fighting techniques appear, and allows the character very long attacks and combos. This is a great innovation.
    + The scenario and development system is now completely different.
    + In the story mode, the characters can go different paths.
    + During the game, there are many Cutscenes.
    + There is also the new *"CHALLENGE MODE"*.
    + There are many different and varied opponents varieties.
    + The *control*, *gameplay* and *camera work* is very good. The *controls* are very fluid. The characters are now much more agile and have multi skills.
    + With the left stick to move the character. With the right stick can rotate the camera, and the camera can even move up and down, so get to the top and look down.
    + And most importantly, the *graphics* are now very good, detailed graphics. You can see the opponents very far. You can see all and the enemys of far away. (720p HDTV, 60 frames per second (fps), Dolby Digital audio).

    "Negative":

    - The only thing you could describe as negative is that the opponents almost exclusively from *humans*. The opponents are almost all "humans" in different clothes (varieties), and with various weapons. (But there are many different and varied humans varieties.) (Sometimes the tigers and wolves attacks the character.)

    "Conclusion":

    I think "KOEI" has done it this time, the game in the "NEXT-GEN" to convert. And it has finally managed to very many different changes and innovations. This is a very good interesting game was what the fans liked very determined.

    In the *"Coop-Mode"*, there are more effects at the "Musou-attack" and there are more fun.

    Especially important for me is that the characters can now *swim*, and *ride boats* and *climb ladders*. Because these properties needs a mass battle game. That brings variety.

    Another important point is that this infinitely long *"combos"* can take. This too is important. Because it's really fun when you see on the screen how many combos you did.

    And most recently, the new *"Renbu System"*. The system is very new and very interesting. Thanks to this system, you can also very long combos. At the beginning of the game is the "Renbu system" has not developed. But, the more you battles done, and the more the tasks done and special tasks done, the more developed the "Renbu system." Then you can do in the battles for a long time various attacks and combos.

    ( I recommend this game at all, there like the "Action"-, "Real-Time-Strategy"-, "Beat'em up"-, "Hack&Slay"-, and "Mass Battle"- games. )

    My RATING: 9/10 (90 points)

    It seems that you're a fan of the series, and the review seems kinda good, but... Can you explain me how is it that a lot of people like games that are so repetitive with retarded artificial intelligence and button mashing as "gameplay"? Please prove me wrong, because that's all I've gotten from the few times I've played the series. How is it that it has such a huge fanbase?

    lonestarmt5934d ago

    well considering I just got DW 6 today and have own every DW inculding samurai and gundam(my fav) warriors maybe i can make a good comment. For one its really fun to slash your way through 1,000 of foes. Sometimes when I come home from a bad work day I don't want to think or compete in FPS so I want something fun and stress relieving. Plus its mindless fun with a friend. Second The AI is a lot harder on leaders or other main characters. I now the voice acting is horrible, but i actually enjoy the storyline. I love asian culture and some of it is actually based on actual events and almost all of them are based off of actual people. There really isn't another game like it. Its really its own genre.

    Its the same with FPS. Each one is almost eactly the same gameplay, the only difference is in the gun you shoot. Thats it. How many of those are those? now compare that to DW. Its not that bad is it?

    Suki035934d ago

    Yup I agree with the above 1.1 post. To really enjoy this game you need to know the history of the three kingdoms chronicles. Many of these characters if not all are real recorded historical figures. I, like many others, know most of these characters and what their roles were and how they were described to look in the novels.

    To play this game is kind of like you being part of that history I guess :)

    lonestarmt5934d ago

    man lu bu is even more kick @$$ now!

    actas1235925d ago

    Yep. This game is definitely a lot of fun. I highly recommend it. Plus it has countless hours of gameplay, its worth buying.

    Dynasty Warriors 6, A look back on a controversial period of the Musou games

    Dynasty Warriors 6 was a controversial game that took the Warriors series in a much needed new direction. Can Dynasty Warriors 9 do the same?

    DW9 came out a few years ago and was not met with kindness. You mean 10. DW6 was not a good direction at all but DW6Empires was alright by me.

    LordStig843d ago

    What i remember from DW6 was alot of characters who had unique weapons in the previous games ended up with either a spear, sword or bow. Some that come to mind was the guy with the claw like Vega from street fighter, the guy with tonfas, the guy with the samurai sword and the chick with the bladed rings, all cool weapons changed to generic sword, bow or spear.

    The spinoff strikeforce was pretty cool.

    Dynasty Warriors Series Turns 15

    The Dynasty Warriors series has turned 15 years-old. And Koei Tecmo is celebrating with the release of a special trailer.

    Hoffmann3213d ago

    Thanks Koei and Omega Force for this entertaining series.

    Master-H3213d ago

    Cool. Looking forward to DW9.

    DasTier3213d ago

    Such a shame the series is so much worse now than it was back in its 4/5th iterations.

    Smh

    Andreas-Sword3213d ago

    Thank you Tecmo Koei. I love Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors and Sengoku Basara.

    What I'd Love See From A Next-Gen Warriors Title

    Mike from Awesome Games writes: 'I am, and always have been, a huge fan of Tecmo Koei’s Warriors franchise. But I think it’s time to say that I’m sick of developer Omega Force’s “If it aint’ broke…” attitude towards what is one of my all-time favourite video game series. Because, although I’m still enjoying them, I am losing interest slightly with each sequel – and that saddens me. Therefore, I would like to make some suggestions as to how I think a next-gen warriors title could greatly improve upon Tecmo Koei’s current offerings. For the purposes of this article, I’ll be using the Dynasty Warriors series as my proverbial punch-bag, as it is TK’s flagship Warriors series and I feel all of my arguments apply to it. But don’t worry; most of my arguments apply to the other variations as well.'
