Dynasty Warriors 6 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I would give this game a 7.5.

What I Like:

I believe that the improvements over previous installments are good

Abandoning the square,square,square, triangle combo structure and switching to the new 'renbu' system is a welcome change. It allows for infinite combos and has a better flow, since you can throw in a charge attack anytime. The short press/long press attacks and block/grapple moves add variety to you combo. The new dodge button is cool too, though I didn't use it much.

Swimming is very helpful for getting around the level faster, and the ladder climbing is also useful. On many levels you have to break down gates using siege weapons, but as soon as a ladder is step up, you can get over the wall immediately. There are also times when climbing provides shortcuts.

Also, the left analog stick now controls the camera, so no more tapping block to see where your going.

What I Dis-like:

The Pop-up is the biggest problem in the game. It's so bad it nearly breaks the game. It makes tracking enemies very difficult. Many times, an officer you are trying to defeat will disappear and then reappear to attack you. Entire crowds of enemies will show up on the map but not in the game until you ride past them.

Horses/weapon drops are now entirely random, so getting red hare is now by chance instead of by method. '4th weapons' no longer exist, so its just whatever you can get to drop (although level and game difficulty are still factors in the quality of drops).

To Sum It Up:

The gameplay is still awesome, single-handedly taking down an entire army is gratifying. Nice changes and different levels/musou stories provide a new and fresh experience from the previous games. Yet I feel that this game has so much more potential. Technical issues hinder this game and keep it from being triple-A. An even better and expansive combo system would be great, and more straying from the 'work your way to the enemy commander and kill him' pattern would be nice

I am a fan of Hack n Slash games, and DW6 is no exception. I only played the Mousou Mode once through with Guan Yu, but it was very fun, light and enjoyable. The game has very high replay value, as there are numerous unlockables such as characters and maps that can be attained through playing different character story modes. As always, avoid fighting Lu Bu until your character is AT LEAST level 20+...

If you like the hack n slash genre, i definately suggest you pick this title.
