As a fan of the Dynasty and Samurai Warrior series, picking this game up when I got a psp was a no brainer. The graphics are pretty good and basically on par with the playstation 2. There are times of slowdown however that can be frustrating. What makes this game different from the ps2 version is the way the battlefield is broken up into a number of strategic squares. I think this does serve well for having a short series of mini battles that someone who wants to play a quick game on the go. For me, I didn't really care for this style. I found it took away more from the game than it added. The game itself can be a bit repetitive, unless you really love fighting wave after wave of basically the same enemies just to unlock a new bodyguard here and there. This is a decent entry in the series, but it is far from being one of the better tries by Koei.

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.

Pretty good game

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.

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.

bad game- stinks

You battle warrior after warrior. Don't you think that is boring? Well it certainly is. I have this game and the first level I played was fun, then the game becomes ssssoooooo boring! After the fifth level, I can't beat these stupid warriors, and I was endanger of throwing my psp on the floor. Terrible, terrible game. Also, the warriors look like monkeys in a colorful spacesuit! I suggest you buy some other game!

LAck of modes brings a fun game down

OF course, like all prevous dynasty warriors games, this one is addicting and fun. The only problem, which turns out to be a big one is that you can only do one thing in Mosou mode. I would not recommend buying this game unless you are a huge dynasty warriors fan.

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 warriros for PSP is basically like all the other games in the series, you run around, you kill, you win, but there are small details and points that differ
Pros: portable, save function, you can choose where to go, 42 charachters, officers give you power, charachters' weapons evolve when the player kills enough enemies, charachters' amounts of combo hits increase as they level up
Cons: occasional slowdown, no multiplayer, extremly awkward camera at some points, the moves of the charachters over lap (example: gan nings' 5 hit charge attack is the same as zhu ge liangs' 3 hit charge attack)

Dynasty Warriors - Better on PS2 than PSP

I've play a different versions on both machine. The idea of the games are the same.

However, the PSP version lack so much feature; it is not what I expected at all.

All in all, this is still a fun game to play. As long as you don't expect it as a full copy of the PS2 game
