"In the end, you’re doing nothing more than frantically hitting the A and B buttons until all the enemies are dead."

Voici, the entire Dynasty Warriors Canon.

Baddies standing and waiting to die. It should be called 'Suicidal Idiot Warriors'

Yup.

It's so good it's off the "*/10" scale

There is already a kind of dancingstage-game out for the DS it's called »OSU! TATAKAE OUNDAN!« and it is indeed freakin' awsome! only bummer: you'll have to import it from japan!

BIG surprise.

This is just getting silly. Koei had a good idea and have just run with the same thing time and time and time again. Something needs to be done or this series will die.

I love the idea. Sometimes, all you want is to go and smack about a few thousand things in a map. That's cool. But the next Dynasty Warriors is going to need to offer more than a couple of extra characters to justify a full-blown price tag...

I used to love Dynasty Warriors. Got 2, 3, and 4. But one day last year, I went back to play 4 again, and it was so stale, I couldn't get past the third level. There is only so far you can run with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" formula before, inevitably, it breaks.

I'm pretty sure the GBA is capable of rendering a whole lot of sprites on screen, it's a 2D powerhouse, why is this downplayed? And also "storing a wide variety of maps," even the SNES had games with huge worlds upon worlds of play area. Somehow I feel it's the "in thing" to bash older systems making them look worse than they actually were, to feel good about our purchases of current and nextgen games and consoles (which really aren't as dreamy as we had hoped them to be). If Dynasty Warriors is a bad game I don't think it's in any way to blame on the GBA's capabilities.

It's not the GBA.

The problem with this version is they seem to have tried to play it in a similar way to it's bigger siblings. Big mistake. I would have been happy with Dynasty Warriors Tactics on a GBA cart, or a beat-em-up (need I remind people that the original PS1 Dynasty Warriors WAS a fighting game). Part of why it appeals is that you have loads of enemies, a big-as weapon and it doesn't take a genius to work out what that sums up to.

If it doesn't work, that's just it. Koei seem to have run dry on ideas for the franchise... which isn't a good thing...

Dynasty Warriors is one of the worst game franchises ever concieved, it's void of any entertainment value whatsoever. It'll take a miracle to make this game fun, still it doesn't seem to stop people buying this in thier millions.

Of all the Dynasty Warriors games I've tried, they've all been horrible and really glitchy. I guess this one may be the worst, and I'll never be able to try it... *sob*

I love Dynasty Warriors. I don't care if it's mindless buttion bashing - if I didn't want it, I'd play something else.

I especially like the music. Very authentic of the period in history.
