  Dynasty Warriors 5 (xbx: 2005): Reviews
Dynasty Warriors 5 takes players back in time to an ancient land governed by chaos, and the mightiest warriors in history fight for control of the Chinese empire.
Six new Dynasty Warriors in all for a total roster of 48 playable characters, each with their own storyline and in-game events.
Defying conventional wisdom, Dynasty Warriors is unique in that the gameplay achieves a near perfect harmonious balanced and change would only upset that.

  Dynasty Warriors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dynasty Warriors (真・三國無双:Shin Sangokumusou in Japan and 真•三国无双: Zhen Sanguo Wushuang in China; literally meaning "True Three Kingdoms Unrivaled") is a series of video games created by Koei based loosely around the Romance of the Three Kingdoms epic, and is a spinoff series of another Koei game Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Sangokushi in Japan).
From Dynasty Warriors 2 onward, a general is chosen as a playable character and they play through a number of levels representing certain conflicts in the time of the three kingdoms eventually defeating both of the other kingdoms and becoming the ruler of China.
The Dynasty Warriors series is known for both portraying some of the characters with personalities that are far-fetched and eccentric, such as Zhang He and Wei Yan, and for portraying others with characteristics that are quite consistent with the novel, such as Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo.

 Dynasty Warriors 5 - Ferrago   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
For those of you who have not come across Dynasty Warriors before the basic premise is that you play your choice of a gargantuan selection of characters through their own personal story as a hero on the side of one of several warring Chinese Kingdoms.
Dynasty Warriors 5 continues the legacy of this simple gameplay and is as hopelessly and irresistibly addictive as its immediate predecessor.
The core play style of Dynasty Warriors 5 is exactly the same as 4, for those of you who haven't played this it means you rush around the battlefield aimlessly or with intent to complete some vague objective that you completely ignored because you were too busy fighting.

 Review - Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends // PS2 /// Eurogamer
Anyone who's so far avoided contact with the Dynasty Warriors games could be forgiven for thinking they've missed the boat, imagining that by now there must be so much back-story to catch up on that it'll be like trying to get into Lost halfway through the second series.
First, a history lesson: Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends is not to be confused with Dynasty Warriors 5 (released in the summer of 2005), and is in fact an expansion disc for it (a fact that's reflected in the price) but also functions as a standalone game in its own right.
As a follow-up purchase to Dynasty Warriors 5, Xtreme Legends is far from essential to all but the hardest of the hardcore, although there are 18 new maps included as an incentive.

 GamingWorld X - Dynasty Warriors 4 Review
Dynasty Warriors, in a move that’s a downer for all the sports fans out there, uses the latter definition in its melding of a storyline from Chinese history with a hack and slash adventure.
Dynasty Warriors 4 is a fairly straightforward retelling of events from AD 220-280 in Chinese history.
Dynasty Warriors 4, according to Koei, has Dolby Digital 5.1 support exclusively on the Xbox.

 Dynasty Warriors 5 | PopMatters Multimedia Review
Dynasty Warriors 5 is almost exactly the same as Dynasty Warriors 4, which was extremely similar to Dynasty Warriors 3, which wasn't all that different from Dynasty Warriors 2.
Dynasty Warriors 5 is no less enthusiastic about making these figures seem superheroic: as you fight your way through a stage, scattering crowds of nameless troops before you with every swipe of your spear or giant axe, you get the sense of being more than a normal person -- you're a god amongst mortals.
In Dynasty Warriors 5, however, every character gets to be the lead in their own story; conveyed through voiceovers, mission briefings, and cutscenes during levels, the stories range from campaigns of conquest to doomed loves to comic buffoonery.

 Dynasty Warriors 4 (Xbox) Review at RewiredMind.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Dynasty Warriors 3 on the PS2 was a bit of a surprise for me. Coming from nowhere, the title really made me fall in love with it from the very first play.
Seemingly hundreds of warriors on screen at any one time, kill counts that ran into triple figures and battles that lasted for hours made sure that the game was one that stood up and made itself known.
You see, whilst Dynasty Warriors was always a great game for occasional play, any repeated play time was often rewarded with a distinct feeling of repetition, as each mission is essentially the same, with you being pitted against the enemy, either hunting down one commander or defending a base against an onslaught.

 GamingWorld X - Dynasty Warriors 4 Review
To think this is just Dynasty Warriors 3 with nothing more than a fresh coat of paint would be a terrible mistake.
Gameplay - The core concept of the Dynasty Warriors franchise is the same in 4 as it has been since 2 -- you are a general during the Three Kingdoms era of China's rich history, taking part in several historical (and some fictional) battles in an attempt to unify China.
In Dynasty Warriors 4, this core gameplay has been tweaked and changed drastically; thankfully all for the better.

Dynasty Warriors (03/24/05) - Koei's latest is alright for a quick fling, but lacks the depth needed for a long-term relationship.

 UGO.com Games - Dynasty Warriors Review - PSP Launch Guide Super-Feature
Warriors each have different abilities and weapons, but generally their abilities are the same: they are gods among mere men, capable of annihilating entire legions with a single blow.
The most obvious is that instead of playing the game on a single massive battlefield, Dynasty Warriors PSP splits the field into smaller chunks that are then accessed on a horizontal and vertical grid.
Dynasty Warriors is known for its great graphics, and the PSP doesn't disappoint.

DYNASTY WARRIORS IS A game set in ancient China in a period between 220-265AD, when China consisted primarily of three rival states called Wei, Wu and Shu.
Each warrior can unleash combo attacks and a special attack called the Musou, which can only be used after the Musou meter is full (the meter is filled when your warrior successfully strikes or is hit).
The warrior and officer characters are detailed and unique and it is quite easy to tell between the different enemy ranks.

Dynasty Warriors 4 was seen as somewhat of a step back.
For those unfamiliar with the series, Dynasty Warriors is set in ancient China and is loosely based on the historical fiction Romance of the Three Kingdoms, about the fall of the Latter Han Dynasty.
Dynasty Warriors 5 is considerably more intense that Dynasty Warriors 4.

Dynasty Warriors 2 for PlayStation 2 - MobyGames
Although a sequel to Dynasty Warriors, a Playstation fighting game, and many of the characters have similar maneuvers (even though the controls as different), the gameplay of Dynasty Warriors 2 more closely resembles the arcade game known as Warriors of Fate in English speaking countries.
Warriors of Fate was a 2-d side scroller where you ran through levels defeating hordes of enemies, either from foot or horseback.

Admittedly, I was anxiously awaiting the release of Dynasty Warrior 4, even though I had owned (and gotten rid of) my Playstation 2 version.
Without going into great detail, Dynasty Warrior 4 is another series that is based around the epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The Dynasty Warriors series focuses on hack and slash combat, with a little bit of strategy thrown in for good measure.

 Dynasty Warriors 4 - Playstation 2
Dynasty Warriors 4 is a cult classic with great graphics and a combination of button-mashing fighting and strategy.
Maybe not in a Splinter Cell sort of way, but the facial movements in the cut scenes, the body movements during sword attacks, the fields of reeds and rolling plains are quite impressive for the PS2.

 Dynasty Warriors 5 Review (Xbox)
Gamers have usage of some fantastic weapons in Dynasty Warriors 5 (more on those in a bit), but this doesn’t mean that solo attacks are always the smartest attacks.
The bodyguard is basically an A.I. controlled warrior that is there to pick up the slack in case you slip up and tire after the first, oh, hundred or so enemies.
In prior Dynasty titles, the “bodyguards” were basically grunts which were no better than a low class adversary in terms of might or intelligence.

 IGN: Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires Review
Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires, the first budget-title on the Xbox 360, is actually an overpriced current-generation game.
It's a shame, too, because Dynasty Warriors fans have stuck with this franchise for so long, and going next-generation was Koei's opportunity to take DW to the next level.
Just as the series has been doing for the past few "main" releases, Koei is in the midst of releasing updates and different variants of Dynasty Warriors 5.
