Review by James on 25th July, 2005
"More Of the Same - Which is good"
The Dynasty Warriors franchise has been upgraded many times yet the game ultimately stays the same, hack and slash, get exp, get stronger, hack and slash, find item. The latest installment in the popular series has some attempts at strategy in it, namely the new (to the ps2 versions) base systems.

Also, weapons have returned to what they were in DW3 and now you only do battle with only one, albeit unique and much stronger bodyguard than the previous games.

This game is very enjoyable although moderate and heavy gamers of previous titles may not like this game. It is perfect for those who are new to the series or are fans of KOEI or the Dynasty Warriors games.

The final weapons for each character are easier to get than the previous games (sounds like DW5 Extreme Legends is on it's way) but there is still tremendous depth and replayability to be found in this title.

No surprises to be found here but still a solid game that will keep you busy for months.
