About the Game

The sixth main game in the long running Dynasty Warriors series (or fifth if one goes by the original Japanese naming scheme) once again allows players to take a legendary hero from the quasi-historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms into battle against thousands of enemy peons. players need to battle their way through numerous battlefields, capturing forts and succeeding in objectives in order to bring about victory for their faction. It is an action game with traces of strategy when players are faced with how to achieve certain sub-missions during a battle. It is the first of the series to be designed specifically for the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 generation of consoles and graphically makes better use of their hardware, allowing for sharper detail and more enemies on screen.
