Dynasty Warriors for PSP

This game is action packed and lots of fun to play.
What makes it different from the other DW games, is that you can choose your location and have 1-4 body guards.

Portable Warriors

Dynasty Warriors never seems to get old. The ever popular hack and slash by KOEI is now on the PSP, ready for you to take on the go anywhere you please. The die-hard Dynasty Warriors fan will love this. On the other hand though, it's really not that different from the Dynasty Warriors games on the PS2, and that's either a good thing or a bad thing.

The storyline hasn't changed much at all. The land of China is split between three dynasties that want to take over the land. The land of Shu, Wu, and Wei. All three used to be an alliance called the Han Dynasty, but that eventually collapsed. Now all warriors have joined the ranks of other dynasties based on what they believe in. Put simple, your goal is to conquer and take over as much land as you can.

As I said, gameplay hasn't changed much in Dynasty Warriors, but it has been tweaked here just a little bit. It isn't really for the better either, but it makes the game at least seem less repetative. You start by selecting the general you'd like to be. Alongside this, you can select other generals who have unique abilities to assist you in battle. The abilities vary depending on which sub generals you choose. The fun is experimenting to see what you come up with. Some increase health, some garner special abilities.

Where the game is really tweaked is the hack and slash action. The game is set up almost like a tactical RPG. You'll start in one area, select it, go in and vanquish all your enemies. This is the hack and slash that seems to have been around since Dynasty Warrirors 2 and hasn't really been tweaked with too much since Dynasty Warriors 3. It's no different here. Once you've done away with the enemies in one area, the path branches onward and you're allowed to choose which path you'd like to take. It doesn't matter which path, you'll always get where you need to in the end. You'll still have to select another location on the field to go to, though. The location you choose to go to has its own objectives. Some you may just have to defend a supply depot or take over one... whatever. What it boils down to is this: There's no real "strategy" needed. Just go in there and hack and slash until everything is dead. After a while, this becomes tired and boring, especially since we've been doing it for the past six years or so and it really hasn't changed at all.

The game also suffers from load times. Each "section" of a mission will only take you a couple of minutes. The game has to load each time you leave and make your way to another one. As with a lot of PSP games, the load times in Dynasty Warriors are not good.

The tweaks in the gameplay don't really make the game any better either. It's great that you can save whenever you want, but it just gets boring really fast. The series is truly declining.

Graphic wise, this game isn't so bad. It looks identical to Dynasty Warriors 4 on the PS2. The music also seems to be taken straight from the Dynasty Warriors games on the PS2. Which means the audio isn't particularly good. Put simple, the game plays and sounds like Dynasty Warriors 4. It actually might be easier just to go out and get that one. It isn't nearly as detailed, but for the most part, the character details and vocals are ripped directly from that game.

In all essence, if you've got any of the PS2 counterparts from Dynasty Warriors 3 and up (and especially if you've got Dynasty Warriors 4), there's really no need to invest in this game. It plays much slower, and when it does play, it's no different than the last games. Characters have the same moves, same musous, same combos... nothing has changed. If you don't have any Dynasty Warriors game whatsoever, then pick this up. Otherwise, it's not really worth the time or the money.

Dynasty Warriors for PSP is not as good as console Dynasty Warriors.

Simply put, this Dynasty Warriors game for the PSP is not as fun as the other games for the PS2 and the Xbox. It is just a little too different than the original. It is a good substitute when one can not play it, such as on the road, but not very good if the original can be played. The originals are always better.

Hack, Slash, Yawn...

Repetitve gameplay? Hack n' slash boring platformer? Awful voiceovers? sound familier? how about DW 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!? If you have already wasted your money on 4 or 5, don't bother buying this. just read a review for DW 4 or 5 and it's the same as this.

Fast and truthful

This game isn't as fun as the console's but if you want to play dynasty warriors on the go than this is the best choice. Its ok but its got a different style of gameplay than the console versions. You go into these things called liberation battles, and just travel around a map going to liberation battles, taking over a area, until you occupy the whole thing than you just go onto the next big map and do it again.

I liked this game because the dynasty warriors series is my favorite series of game for the ps2 and I always thought of how awesome it would be to be able to take it on the go with me practically anywhere i was. Well i got a psp for christmas and this game was my first buy. I dont really regret buying in because i got it for about $13.00 which is around hwo much I think its worth. $15-17 at most would be what I think about this games worth. So my final words are if you can find this game for under $20 and you love the console games than buy this.

This game sucked. All the ones for PS2 are so much better. This one just sucks.

chopped up battle field

It's much like all other Koei's Dynasty warrior games, but the only thing is... (I know it's probably due to the hardware limitation) the whole battle field is chopped up in pieces, first you move like playing a chess, then you select which square you wish to move to, then a small battlefield shows up and you fight in it... Also, if the number of enemies increases, the distance of object PSP will draw decreases, That means if you have many enemies in which direction you are heading, your enemy will likely show up in right front of you out of no where.

good,but...

This is an action packed chinise game,you get to choose from different characters and kill other dynasties.It is very exciting but when you continue to play it gets a little boring.Cause all the time is killing other people in foot,horses or elephants.To some people this game never gets boring,to some it does.To me its good.It is good but not worth 50bucks or more,Im waiting for them to low it to 40,I rented it,cause it costed 52bucks and Rengoku 40,I buyed Rengoku and I'm gonna wait now for Dead to Rights:The Reckoning,Death Jr.,Gran Theft Auto and Coded Arms.PSP is hot with games,poor Nintendo DS.

Of all the Dynasty Warrior games this one is the least enertaining. And with the price they are charging for it you could just buy Dynasty Warriors 5, which is a lot more fun.
