Sounds great. The bite-size nature makes it sounds more like the first Dynasty Warriors PSP rather than the open battlefields of Warriors Orochi, but a least they're trying something a little different to the norm. I do have to buy a PSP again now.

Yeah - if you could play over WiFi at work, or on the train or whatever, it'd be great. Sadly since it's entirely ad-hoc only, and doesn't support online play, that's not possible. It's a massive oversight which isn't a huge problem for the target audience in Japan, but which totally kills multiplayer for most players in the UK.

Shinji is right. I know only of one other person who'd actually be interested in playing this game with me as he is a Dynasty Warriors nut.
Unlike japan, social gatherings for ad-hoc gaming is non-existant so it is unfortunate that alot of people who buy this game will be limited to a single player only experience.
The option to play online would've given this game a broader appeal, and probably better sales than is it is going to get. =x

You can play it online if you have a PS3, using the Ad Hoc Party app.

I'm really enjoying Strikeforce so far. The combat's pretty different to the main DW games, with the lock-on and flying. You spend half your time in the air, which you never really do in the other games, aside from the odd jumping attack.

I know 0 people IRL that have a PSP... its a bit like when I got my hands on Crystal Chronicles only to realise that it be 4x the game if I had 3x GBA wielding mates.

This would have to have a really good singleplayer game for me to dive in... I've always found these games a bit uninvolving though. I prefer the Gundam ones too as they have that ZOE vibe.

Please stop giving the DW series good reviews. People might stop buying them then :P

Thanks for the review, I am very interested. The ability to download some of the data to speed up load times is great, hope to see more of that.

Dunno, PSP is just not popular enough in US and Europe. Everyone seems to have a DS, very few a PSP. The fact that are very few decent titles on PSP doesn't help either.
Back to Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce, the maps are looking smaller than the ones in Warrior Orochii, but they are also more fluid. I think 7 it's a decent score for a button masher.

Sounds interesting trouble is after the darkfall rubbish preinted in this site can we trust its reviews anymore?

Yes. Yes we can. For a start this is a different author entirely.

It is a biggy that they didn't put in online play, it would really make sense in this country. I could probably rope one or two people into games occasinoally, but not much.

Worth pointing out that if you happen to be a multiple psp owning family, the DRM of PSN allows you to install your game to up to 5 devices that are registered to you. So co-op is totally do-able for people like me. Awesomeness. that's assuming they put it on the store.
