• Developed from the ground up for next-generation platforms
• Fighting techniques motion-captured from some of Asia's leading stunt performers
• Enemy unit AI adapts to player combat tactics
• New Skill map feature allows players to determine how a character develops
• New "Renbu" attack system for lightning fast moves and combos

Dynasty Warriors 6 will deliver the massive scale and realistic atmosphere that players have come to expect from the series, but will redefine the Dynasty Warriors' Tactical Action experience. With a new fighting system and entirely new action and motion, players can string together fighting moves and experience gameplay that closely resembles the action of a kung-fu movie. These changes The new combo system, tentatively called the "Renbu" system, requires specific button presses to unleash a variety of dazzling moves that will mimic the fighting movements seen in a Chinese martial arts movies. The system, uses a Combo Gauge, which as it fills up, increases the Combo Level, which in turn allows the character to unleash even more powerful attacks and moves. The objective of this "Renbu" system is to add more visual stimulation while providing a sense of control over the action on screen.
Famous events of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms such as sieges and large scale ship battles, were previously shown only through event scenes. Now these exciting moments will be portrayed in real-time, with in-game action sequences. Players will not only see these events, but live them, thereby recreating the feeling of actually being on the battlefield in ancient China.

Summary: Very Disappointing
Comment: I have played all of the Dynasty Warriors games and have either loved or liked them, but this one has me really disappointed. They screwed up all the things that they had right in the past titles and added things to complicate the game play. Most of all the game looks awful: MUDDY, HAZY, graphics, ugly changes in the look of the heros, changes in the weapons they use. I can't believe that this game has gone backwards in quality and play value. THUMBS DOWN.

Summary: Great game but something is missing
Comment: I've played DW2-6 and really love the series. For a hack and slash you really can't get any better than you versus an entire army of enemies. Since that's out of the way on to the new installment.

Koei has completely overhauled this game. Many characters now sport a new appearance and or new weapon. In most cases it is an improvement in my opinion. Sima Yi now has claws rather being a sinister looking version of Zhuge Liang. Sun Ce unfortunately loses tonfas and we have yet another spear wielding character. In other words, if you have played DW5 your favorite charcter may be changed dramatically. They have introduced a new fighting system called Renbu. You have to chain attacks to get the gauge higher once you reach infinite renbu which is level 4 you get a ton of new attacks and combos available. Personally I love this new system but others may not like it. Koei has incorporated a leveling system similar to Samurai Warriors 2(for those who don't know it is a game that uses the DW engine but it is set in the warring states period of Japan. It is pretty much the Dynasty Warrior version of Nobunaga's Ambition) As charcter get stronger you can choose skills and powerups. All charcters have a unique tree. It also features a different weapon system over DW5 you have 3 sets of weapons standard, skill and stregnth to accomodate your play style. Bodyguards are a thing of the past, now you can have a horse which can be leveled up and gain unique abilities. I love that change. Nothing irritated me more when a bodyguard stole a kill.

Battles now have bonus objectives which grant you more experience and they have included a better siege system. The best thing they added in the battles is a completely new base system. You can break down doors kill a certain amount of guards(corporals are worth more and killing the base captain automatically puts the base under your control). The bases than become allied and provide health items on a respawn timer.No more scouring the level looking for something to break so you can get some life back. This game is far more difficult than the previous games. Generic officers and soldiers prove to be a bit smarter and playable officers are a bit harder. There has been complaints that AI commanders are made of butter but I only encountered this in the Chang Ban level where Liu Bei runs ahead of your force leading the way for peasants other than that I never really had a problem of commanders dying.

They added topography(terrain height) as well swimming and climbing ladders. While the latter isn't any issue the topography was poorly executed. It gets rather difficult to navigate around on the levels. You often find yourself pushing start to get your bearings.

The graphics in this game are unbelievable. I felt the earlier games the charcter designs are a bit cartoonish. Now not all characters appear to be realistic but I did like the upgrade.

The critical complaint on this game other than some complaints on a few redesigned characters is that they musou(story) mode(which is the mode I liked to play the most) is severly limited. They are a total of 41 characters in DW6 but only 17 of them have a musou mode. Even worst is that some characters who play a small role either historically, in the novel(the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel) or didn't exist/actually fight have story modes. While characters who did have some major roles or simply cut out of the musou mode. Sun Shiang Xiang has a musou mode and so does Sun Jian( I do like both characters but Lady Sun didn't shape Wu and Sun Jian dies before the formation of Wu) while BOTH Sun Ce and Sun Quan were left out. Arguably Ce and Quan were pivotal in the formation of Wu. And yes I am a big Wu fan. DW5 featured 48 characters who all had a musou mode granted they were short. But it still was there. So if your like me and played the game mainly on musou mode prepare for some disappointment.

Summary: Where is Meng Hou, Da Qiao etc.
Comment: I have been Playing Dynasty Warrior for years and while I don't think this game is horrible, I don't understand Koei's decision to cut some of the Characters. That was a REATARDED move. You can't just take people out of the story that were there for years. What if the cut characters were someones favorite. (Da Qiao was one of mine) Also, some of my Favorite Characters don't have a Musou mode like Cao Pi. This is not Fair to fans that they cut out some of our characters. I think that the game is good, but I can't believe Koei had the nerve to cut out our characters. This is making me soo angry I am seriously thinking about boycotting the Dynasty Warriors franchise. They need to FIX IT!!!!!

Summary: One Step Forward, 2 Step Backward.
Comment: One of my favorite game of all time was Dynasty Warrior 4, because it was so fun and addicted, it has large selection of characters, offer pvp, good side question and survival mode, and the plot is well done. While the ps3 installtin of DW6 look promising in the trailer and picture, but when i actually got the game, it doesn't live up to my expetation, in fact i felt is more of step backward in most area. Especially the graphic, is not are sharp or good look when compare to most ps3 game, actually is more like upscare version of ps2 game. But one biggest step forward is that no longer has lag issue, which was the biggest problem for ps2 game. But DW6 lack online play only has ranking is been of joked. Also my favorite mode of PVP is gone, the survivor and those side quest has been change to a more downgrade version. Many of the story is about the same, but i think the character special is far weakr than DW4,isn't as effective, they try many thing in DW6 but isn't working. I recommaed you rent this one before you brought it.
