This might be a fun game, I honestly don't know and I will never find out. When my roomate rented this game I couldn't get passed the annoying sound track. What idiotic game developer decided that there was hard rock in Imperial China? And if there was, who decided that it was such stupid, glaringly bad hard rock? Every time that someone in the house played this game the music made me want to destroy the disk. I don't know if there's an option to turn down the music on this game, but I didn't want to find out, the music is so bad that the very thought of taking time to play the game made me ill. So, in short this game is cool in theory, but in practice I find it almost impossible to get past the banal "Heavy Metal" sound track. Shame on KOEI for expecting people to swallow such tripe!

pretty bad

The graphics arent anything special. The customize your officer has no good features. a lot of it is ridiculously hard. annoying music and menus. ive only played the first parts and so far it seems bad. maybe it will get better but i doubt it. rent it dont buy it. short and sweet

WOOT, but your paying an extra 50 for character creation

backround- this game takes place at a time with different dynastys, you can choose a real warrior, or create your own (dyn 4 exclusivley), this is a must have for people who are un aware of the game series.

My opinoin- SUPERB- i love the series, so many characters and so much replay value, you can take on literaly thousands of enemies and with red, blue, and green dynasties, you can play throug the literaly 40 something characters roles and see different dynasties fall, rise and see your own character develop

PROs

among best 3rd person games,
intense combat
character CREATION
unlockable characters so the game dosen't get stale
beautiful cinematics
can actual help you on your history quiz (all the characters and battles were real)

coop AND vs mode

cons-
if you have 3, basically your paying 50$ for the character customization and like 5 new ppl

you will only want to play a level or two at a time due to the fact that it's the same thing. but it's still fun

good but has major flaws

The game has nice-looking graphics and good control. So why is is a piece of crap compared to the PS2 version?

Pros:
-Nice plot
-Fun
-Good controls
-Dolby Digital sound in the actual game, not the cinematics (only thing better than PS2 version)

Cons:
-LOTS of slowdown
-LOTS of pop-up
-Distracting music
-Easy mode is a joke (no kidding)

Verdict:
If you have played the previous 3 games, stay away! There's nothing new! Otherwise, if you are a newcomer to the XBOX or a new Dynasty Warriors fan, rent first.

Final Verdict: 77%

Great! but a few flaws...

Look just buy this game okay? Everything is fun! With some exceptions... Sure you can unlock new costumes for regular officers but most are really crappy and dissapointing, but I still keep playing until I unlock them since its too addicting. Lu Bu is undefeatable in a duel on hard mode or normal. JUST RUN! The create a officer extra is pretty crappy with too few character models to choose from. In the game the reuse the same levels over and over with minor variations to give the appearence of a different level, although some are still unique. Voice acting is just plain terrible now, not funny as in before and all those who played number 3 should remember this quote, "YOU FLAMING IDIOTS! TAKE THIS!!!". Yup that hilarious part is now gone. There seems to be less strategy involved as in the third even though each general has his own strategy which is a lie. And the XBOX version should not have pop up characters and still have crappy graphics. THE XBOX CAN HANDLE IT!!! And in CO-OP the pop up is worse. Much worse. Arrow shooting has been fixed thank God where as before sometimes your arrows would fly clear through people. The versus mode games weren't great fun either. But the leveling up weapons, your character, items, and the endlesss action, more than make up its own short comings. This is worth getting. And if you have never played any Dynasty Warrior games before you could suddenly be obsessed with Chinese history and lore. You get a great feeling in this game when you charge through a group of over one-hundred soldiers just to rescue a fellow officer and the thanks you get is a nice touch. So get this game! You won't regret it until you have lost hours of your life to it.

Not as good as 3

The graphic is kind of overkilled. The teeth of all the generals are like vempires. The color is less vivid than 3 though it's more 3-D. In DW4, there is no Japanese subtitles and English Dialogue is worse than 3. The musou attack is boring. Guanyu's 3rd attack is complicated (xxy), DW3 is simple and fun.

Some better, some not

Great game, kept alot of the great things but blundered on just a couple. Huang Gai is jacked up on the grenade toss, where's the choice of language spoken, and some events like Sun Jians's death not appearing. Other than that they did a great job with adding a few new types of cut scene, varying just a few attacks, and giving LuBu a mosou mode. New characters Zhou Tai, Cao Ren, and the edit officers are a big plus so I'd rather give the game a 4.5. I recommend it for those who were really good at 3 but need a new challenge. I was getting to the point where I'd take a new general to a level on hard to earn 3rd weapons before beating mosou mode with them, so the new challenges are great.

Awsome Game

Readers you have to get this game. Same plot as Dynasty warriors 3. Pick a dynasty complete the campaign. In this game you can create a custom player, edit his looks and his bodyguards. You can play 1v1 with a friend or 2 player coop. I strongly reccomend this game.

Extras! Extras! Extras!

Dynasty Warriors 4 is easily the best game to come out of Koei since their very first arcade titles. The game which is based on the great series "Romance and the Three Kingdoms" by Luo Guanzhong is a fast-paced 3rd person hack and slash, but is done with so much grace that it cannot be overlooked. While the gameplay is a little to simple to master, and the difficulties don't differ very much, this game is awesome. With over 40 characters to pick from, 42 to be exact, and different divisions to control (Wei, Shu, Wu) this game can be played over and over again without the player getting bored. Grab a friend and master the whole game in cooperative mode, or dual him in intense one vs. one battles. With unique weapons that belong to each character, a level system to track your players progress, and 4 endings for each division, this game will have you playing over and over to power up your favorite characters. A highly addictive game that will have you sweating when your done. The best of its series, keep them coming Koei!
