These little irritating things like the music score playing over and over (the same guitar riffs on a loop will eventually drive you insane), characters repeating themselves, and saying things like: “ My role is to see the hidden truth that lies beneath each battle” just seem a little bit silly to me and decrease the overall experience of the game, unless you turn the music off and skip most of the dialogue. The game suffers significantly from little annoyances that grow stronger as you play on. I haven’t played any of the games since Dynasty Warriors 3 on PlayStation 2, and I can remember only really liking it because of the carnage you could create on the battlefield with another player. In terms of story it’s no Metal Gear, the appeal of the game comes from fast paced slash and dash action, and not from why you are actually doing it. For instance a mini skirt and high heels might not be the best choice for dueling on a snowy battlefield, but hey what do I know. Also some appear to be a little over the top, especially female characters that seem to be dressed quite inappropriately for combat. While some character models look totally unique some seem to be reused – a lot, though this could be due to the games’ ‘how many enemies can I fit onto one screen’ style. For instance Lu Bu looks bad-ass and is well detailed to look like a seasoned war-lord, however slicing through your 2000th mundane Chinese soldier soon loses its excitement this is thankfully helped with the inclusion of battlefield tasks and boss fights. How does it look?īoth the graphics and gameplay are an odd mix of fantastic and terrible on the Playstation 3 version. It has plenty to do but the content feels like it can only appeal to a select few gamers, as in this golden age of videogames it seems like shooters, RPG’s, action adventure and even indie games are stealing the spotlight away from fighting games like Dynasty Warriors.

The special edition, Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends features 5 different story modes, an offline/online free mode, an Ambition mode where players can develop a camp to “look to welcome the Emperor to your side”, a challenge mode, a gallery and an encyclopedia. Things don’t get easier from there as characters are introduced at light-speed, and it leaves the player feeling rushed and somewhat confused. This is almost expected from players, assuming that they have been following the whole series, which I haven’t. The campaign starts without explaining what is happening, or even showing you the controls. Additionally DW8XL will see the introduction of 5 new characters, giving players the option to choose between 82 warriors in total.” Campaign It will include new episodes that add to the story of the three kingdoms the game revolves around, focusing on the exploits of the mightiest of warriors, Lu Bu. “Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends for PlayStation 3 is a stand-alone expansion of the highly successful Dynasty Warriors 8. There seems to so much more that the game could do, but it seems content to stay relatively the same as previous Dynasty Warrior games, just with slight improvements. Koei’s tactical action game isn’t exactly ground-breaking, but it isn’t stepping backwards either.
