WARRIORS: LEGENDS OF TROY

For everyone that thinks this & DW are button mashers/random things happen - U would pretty much rate it 5 & below. If you play this game (like you should play ALL other games) - EXPERIMENT Square, Triangle / X, Triangle / Square, Square, Triangle / Square, Square, X / Triangle, Triangle, Triangle you would KNOW combos are in the game. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter & any game could be considered a BUTTON MASHER if all you do is hit 1 or 2 buttons & don't try anything else. LOL -- Advanced combos are earned through gameplay & UPGRADES. BUTTON MASHERS will DIE & complain, but it's your FAULT :( Health is regained by GOOD/GREAT Fighting!
UPGRADE system uses purchase/puzzle piece strategy pieces. A thinking man's game. But u don't have to be Einstein. Save your KLEOS for better items / bigger grid for pieces to maximize your health/damage/etc. There are some GOD of WAR button interactions in the game too. Perfectly-timed hits do MASSIVE damage vs Button Mashing.
This game has lots of strategy & gameplay - u don't have to kill every character. Complete primary and/OR 2ndary objectives to earn more KLEOS - UNLOCK items - UPGRADE.
Game has 3-5 finishers per playable character you can do vs ANY enemies you fight / 1-on-1 duels. This is the bloody/mature/more in-depth gameplay DYNASTY WARRIORS.
As far as voicing of names being wrong - that's incorrect. Depending on accents and regions of the world TOMATOE / TOMAHTOE = the same thing - It's just accent/dialect. ZEUS pronounced ZEYUS etc.
This game has SERIOUS replay - Play it on Easy / Normal / Hard / Expert; each mode has certain upgrades that can be unlocked from that mode but used throughout. I'm BUYING this from GAMEFLY!!!

Not that fun....

In DW you went for the boss while the squad fought the little guys, however in Troy you have to kill every single enemy in a section to progress. You cannot expect your squad to kill anything.
In DW, the story was clear and connected. In Troy you are seemingly playing different "hero's" who may or may not eventually connect.
In DW, the characters are fun and over the top. In Troy they are bland.
In DW, you are a superhuman who knocks down waves of enemies. In Troy 4 guys with shields will keep you trying to beat them for a good 5 minutes.
In DW, health is found. In Troy health is magically gained by... well IDK.. it just kind of happens occasionally.
Also, Troy features a fill-in the block with what upgrades you want (if they fit), instead of a leveling system... it sucks.
If I didn't compare it to DW and the expections from Koei... then I say this game is kinda slow, and lacks the "gods" interacting with the hero's as we've seen in other game, like Jason and the Argonauts.

Some Nice Touches That Make it Rent Worthy

The game is able to tell the story of the Trojan War quite solidly and the game play is not bad. It is on par with your average Dynasty Warriors or other hack and slash type game. If you have played any other hack and slash game, you have played this game; however, the story and atmosphere is quite refreshing and makes the repetitiveness of the game quite tolerable.
The voice acting is not bad and the cinematics are actually really good. I saw that other people were noting that the pronunciations of some of the names were weird (e.g. Zeus, Odysseus, and others being pronounced odd). That is because the voice over is actually using the Ancient Greek pronunciations (Classics Major). I give the game extra kudos for doing that.
Overall, this game is worth the rent for the story alone and the game play is a nice add-on :).

Low Budget Game, but True to the Mythos

There is no one piece of literature that tells the entire story of the Trojan War, in fact archaeologist estimate that we have less than 3% of ancient stories about the war. With this in mind, the developers did an amazing job compiling the story and developing gameplay around that story. In fact, this may be the most complete and accurate telling of the Trojan War I've ever seen in pop culture, although there are a few minor discrepancies. But, don't expect any grand cenimatics.
The game itself is weak. The graphics are below par and there is some frame rate issues at certain points. The godly boss fights are God Awful and more closely resemble "PS2" style. This is where the game falls flat and you see why Koei canceled the Xbox version and refused fill some pre-orders or even send out advance copies for review. This game is obviously a [failed] low budget production.
The sound is terrible and seems like they used just a few voice actors to play all the characters. However, the sound track is good and you can listen to from Extras menu. I've seen lots of movies and sat through hundreds of hours of lectures on the Trojan war and I've never once heard Zues pronounced as Zaius, like Dr. Zaius from Planet of the Apes. Dramatic license I guess.
The controls are limited, several of the buttons are unused or are simply useless. Targeting is broken and not very useful until boss fights.
Overall, I like the game and purchased it, however I must add that it's not worthy of a $60 price tag. I like to see how the story was developed, what changes were made and how true it stays to the mythos. People take for granted how extremely difficult it is to recreate the world of the Trojan War, this is probably why all modern movies and TV series about the war have been failures. In this sense, Koei nailed it, they nailed the story and for that reason I highly recommend playing the game.

Next Frontier of Dynasty Warriors? Not Really.....

While the ally A.I. has been made drastically smarter (I actually saw one kill a couple guys, and if you've ever player a Dynasty game you know how big a deal that is) and while they feel much more useful as they actually follow you (unlike the previous games where all but the player "officer" had a unit), the game stills falls a little short. Most of the time you only have one ally group, which makes this feel less like a warriors game and more like a mosterless version of Beo Wolfe. You know? With the hero and a squad of super tough soldiers against a boatload of enemies? Take that, now minus the "super tough" bit.
Without bigger maps, a bit of free roam, choosing your hero, and the free play function this game goes from next Dynasty game to the missing 300 game for the PS3. Which isn't bad, but not what was expected. A sequel is needed here and in it Koei should take some of the things from DW5 and stuff them in this game. Why 5? Cause I want my bodyguard back, thats why. I MISS MY ARCHER GUY!
But enough about that. The game is fair enough. The controls are a little clunky, the voice-overs are a bit off, the pronunciations are REALLY off (never heard Hades called Hydis before), doubtful on much replay value (haven't beat the game yet, so I'm still hopeful), you'll hit square A LOT, and sometimes you get in your own personal little war with the camera.
On the other hand it has good graphics, nice scenery, and a good story, especially if your a fan of the mythos. And the blood. Can't forget the blood. Hooray Mature Rating! Hooray Violence!
The Moral of this story? Good for renting (and violence =3), and thats it.

Carnage at Priam's Gate

I have a soft spot for the Warriors games, but no problems admitting when problems crop up within. The premise for this installment is tweaking core mechanics for a narrowed-down, story-driven experience.
The action is divided between the Greek and Trojan forces. The player takes control of a (sincerely) Epic hero and undertakes a mission to beat up masses of dudes - also rescue allies, defeat generals and reach cutscene events. Each level is presented with a story tidbit to explain why you'll be in a given area wailing on enemies.
The action itself is built upon a fairly simple attack system that gets more intricate as the character abilities are expanded. Basic troops fall to quick attacks, blockers are softened by heavy attacks, rolling and bashing shields also helps set up finishers. The game's most appealing (and frequent) one-hit kills are showcased with camera pans and bonus currency.
The currency is awarded to the player during missions and used in-between to expand and stock a character-shared inventory of stat boosts and ability unlocks.
Fans of the DW series may note that the character variety is largely cosmetic. Most of your protagonists fight with a sword and shield with only minor mechanic variations. The differences are more stylistic. Achilles is suitably lithe and impressive, Ajax is a bruiser muscle mountain, Hector is staunch and hard-hitting, etc.
The campaign takes between 6 and 10 hours for a normal playthrough, longer on harder difficulties - but mid-level checkpoints (with healing!) help.
There is also a challenge mode and extra galleries with artwork, cinematics and in-game soundtracks. Repeated play heavily depends on whether the game's fighting appeals to the player. Also, no free stage select for different characters.
This is an interesting, cinematic take on the Warriors franchise. It lacks some polish and feels a tad repetitive. Looks better than it

Simply horrible game play

I was so bored that I could not get past 45 minutes. I finished the Spartan side of 1st chapter/part and not a single truly exciting fight.
On the other hand, cinematic is done very well and I would love to simply watch all of them without playing the game. Even though I know the story and I actually watched the movie Troy couple of days before playing this game, I think it would still be pretty cool to watch the.
