It uses the same maps (though in some places less detailed) as DW6, which brings the elevations and tactical positions back into play. What's inexcusable is the game lag at times, which is not too bad in single-player, but awful in co-op. The game has a few weirdisms (getting married comes front-of-mind), but while they don't add much to the game, they don't detract, either, which is handy. Of course, like most 360 games, you can dispense with the generic game music by streaming your own in the background. This means epic battles to anything from Holst's "Mars" to Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger". Without further ado, here's some of the run-down: Pros: * Create-a-warrior! * All your faves from DW6 (you know you'll start with Lu Bu). * Cool weapon-improvement scheme uses the best of DW5 and DW6. * More intuitive...Read more 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: By Raphael Auditore (NY, USA) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires (Video Game) Dynasty Warriors has come a long way. Every DW that came out, has improve somewhat but the fans still buy the game and play it. There are pros and cons of the Dynasty Warriors series but DW6 stands out somewhat. To much as my surprise, the game is good. I've played the game numerous times and i've wrote down the pros and cons. It could have been improve so much (ex. glitches). Here is my honest review of Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires. Pros- * Create your own officer. Change the tone of your skin, hair, voice. * New weapons. You can customize your weapons and make your officer powerful. * New power skills. You can have your officer use fire, ice, rockfall, recover by simply holding a button and hitting the button that you wish to use. Ex. if your officer has the ability to use blizzard,(using XBOX 360) hold down the left trigger and hit either A,X,Y,B. The special powers recharge and you can use them as many times as you...Read more 9 of 12 people found the following review helpful: By Three Kingdoms Gamer (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires (Video Game) I'm a hardcore Koei fan. I have about 50 koei games including all of the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors series. I was looking forward to this game all year. First of all, they did manage to make an improvement. Playing as an officer now is much different than playing as a ruler. That's about it for the improvements. Now for the problems. This game is hard. It is easily 5 times harder than the last. Normal difficulty is about like hard on the last one. Hard, master, and chaos difficulties are impossible now. Your officers now do nothing for you in battle. I watched as my generals Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Mi Zhu were all routed by a base with no enemy officers in it. There are so many enemy troops, I easily get 1 to 2 thousand ko's in the average battle now. I was hoping for a new officer to be made unique in this game. Guys like Deng Ai, Zhang Ren, and Yan Liang sure deserve to be made unique. I was extremely...Read more |
