Dynasty Warriors 6

My Rating: 2/5(Poor)



Advantages:
Excellent music
Disadvantages:
Unfinished, Absence of items, special weapons and certain characters, poor loading speed


I was so excited when KOEI release its news last year that I bought a Xbox360 for it, which I would regret later have Xbox360 not a lot other excellent title.

Dynasty Warriors 6 is a huge disappointment.

The game graphic is nice compared to last few DWs but is so-so as a next gen video game. The in-game lighting effect is pretty good though. Being a title originally planned to release exclusively on PS3, Xbox360 version blurry pre-recorded CG movies.

The gameplay system is a whole new experience makes the game a love-it-or-hate-it, but I missed the fun collecting special items, weapons and horses because DW6 has none of them. DW6 does not support Xbox Live multiplayer. It only allows players to upload highscores from Challange Mode.

DW6 has removed several popular characters including Da Qiao and Xing Cai. Of all remaining characters only about 1/3 has their own story mode while most of others are using recurring motions makes it being called unfinished game among DW fans.

In-game music are fantastic. The mix of hard, metal rock and Chinese instruments never fails in this series, but this is my most favourite of whole series.

In short this game would have been a lot better if it weren't so unfinished. Those who can't wait to experience a whole new Dynasty Warriors may want to grab it but sticking with Musou Orochi 2 while waiting for the next installment may have been a better idea.
