Worthplaying writes: "I have always found something immensely satisfying about the Dynasty Warriors series. Something is remarkably relaxing about roaming around a map that's chock-full of enemy soldiers in a semi-invincible manner while a kill count keeps track of the mayhem. The series has pushed the envelope less than a disgruntled mailman since the first iteration in 1997, or in any of the 22 subsequent releases, but it still works, right? Warriors Orochi for the PSP doesn't take the envelope any further, but it still manages to entertain. Is this iteration, which is priced as a new release, worth a purchase when every title in the series is essentially the same?
The story in Warriors Orochi is the standard stream of implausible fantasy. The serpent king, Orochi, transports the greatest heroes of feudal China and Japan to another dimension, because … well this isn't really explained much. It seems his motivation is just to be as evil as possible, which doesn't make for a terrific narrative. You, as one of the abducted warriors, have to defeat this evil tyrant, and even though Orochi has the power to transport entire castles through dimensions, this is presented as an entirely achievable task. Each house of warriors has its own motives for siding with - or attacking - Orochi, and this is really where some of the interesting plot developments occur. Even though the characters are supported by some truly awful voice acing and one-liners, their motives are much more interesting and deep than Orochi's."
Evan discusses how trophies and achievements can add or take away from value and gaming experiences.
Trophies are always iffy for me. I'd rather gain unlockable weapons and modes from completing a game if I had to choose but very rare that a modern game offers both.
The Japanese branch of Sony Computer Entertainment today revealed the HDD space requirements in addition to some screens on the latest batch of Japanese PS2 Classics games.
i kinda liked this game even thought it wasnt really a silent hill game. i guess silent hill fans hated this game because they got tricked. i guess for the people who disliked it maybe they should thik of this game as a horro game and not part of silent hill.
@kte
good thing they released sh2&3?
didnt 90% of the ppl hate the hd version and prefer the original? voice acting, bugs, framerate and graphical glitches messed up the game big time apparently
Silent hill 4 wasn't that bad just different .i like it a lot better then the newer ones that have come out .that Panopticon prison was I found really interesting
"Warriors Orochi is one of the more entertaining games to come out for the PSP. People who’ve played the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors series have always wondered what would happen if these worlds would collide; and Koei delivers by mahshing the two brands together into one meaty package."
