NO Bodyguards = Weaker Game

In this installment they got rid of the bodyguards. In the past, you could choose from several different types of troops to lead out into battle. They would level up and different characters could all use the same troop of bodyguards. This improved re-play value because when you'd choose a new officer, you could keep the same levelled-up bodyguards from the last character and you would thus start off more powerful. But in DW6 they have ditched the bodyguards for the silly horse system. Unlike the bodyguards which play a huge role in clearing out bases, which horse you choose has minimal impact on actual gameplay.

I've played through three Musou modes and I am returning the game. In old Dynasty Warriors games, I'd play ALL the characters because starting off a new officer wasn't so daunting as you could recycle experienced bodyguards. Here, when you choose a new officer, you have to start the game all over again and fight all of the same enemies and stages without any benefit at all from your previous runs through. This is is the weakest Dynasty Warriors I have played yet (despite the improved graphics). Fun enough game, but the worst Dynasty Warriors to date.

Hi! I am a fan of this series much like a few of you. I have played since DW2, and I must say this series hasn't come that far. DW6 is proof of that! I mean the gameplay is fun, but the lingering technical issues still bug me. For instance the pop-up of trees and bushes, they appear in front of you and when you walk on top of them they dissapear! I have been fighting in a few of the levels and guys will just pop-up out of thin air! This also happens when I walk around and theres a huge empty space and just as I come up on it theres like 50 guys that just pop-up! Am I the only one seeing this? One more thing that bugs me is the slowdown on two-player mode, if you're both fighting in an area that has a lot of battle action the framerate sttutters and bogs down. I was hoping Koei and W-Omega Force would have addressed these technical issues that plagued the PS2 Games in this installment, but i guess I was wrong. The Gameplay on the other hand is much like all the others. I really don't see a need to be able to climb latters or swim, cause I really havn't played to far in the mosou modes yet, but I am hoping that they intergrated it more. Also the lack of a few Warriors doesn't surprise me, if you look at it from this standpoint: DW6 might as well start the series over from the beginning, because it looks and feels like the first of a series. The enemy models are bland and reused, there is a huge lack of any real expansive content for your character, or weapon. What do we have to do wait another six months and shell out another $30 or $40 for DW6 Xtreme Legends to get that content? I mean there is a unique experiance gaining system that I kinda like but I don't yet see its real purpose. So all in all I gave this game a 7! Its not worth a 10 like some of you other people gave it. To obtain that Koei and W-Omega Force would have had to do a heck of alot better than just give us a watered down version of what could have been a masterpiece!

Ok, I love the Dynasty Warriors series. This game takes "6" steps in the right direction. The character visual updates are the best thus far. The new genbu system lets attacks flow without haveing to start a combo over. There are 41 playable characters and none feel the same. I wish there were more Museu(Story) Modes. This is a great game. If you are looking for a game that is fun to play alone and fun to play with others. This is Your Game. Its easy to just pick up and play. I love Dynasty Warriors. I can't wait until DW6: empires/xtream legends comes out.
