GameSpy writes: About the only thing more repetitive than Koei's Dynasty Warriors series is reading reviews of Dynasty Warriors games. The reviews all seem to start out the same way -- a lot of talk about how Koei has been feeding us the same game for years with minimal innovation and the same button-mashing mechanics. The consistent nature of the reviews is a bit ironic, but it gets kind of old. So we'll just start our review by saying, look! Dynasty Warriors 6!
The core game is pretty much the same as it's been since the (near) beginning of the series (remember that the original Dynasty Warriors was a one-on-one fighter). You take control of characters from Chinese history and lead them through battles drawn from the ancient Chinese novel, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." If you want to brush up on the back story, the in-game encyclopedia helps fill in the details.
Pros:
-Better maps and more refined gameplay than before;
-lots of stages and characters to unlock;
-nice graphics
Cons:
-Gameplay is pretty much the same old thing;
-occasional pop-up;
-no online multiplayer
Dynasty Warriors 6 was a controversial game that took the Warriors series in a much needed new direction. Can Dynasty Warriors 9 do the same?
DW9 came out a few years ago and was not met with kindness. You mean 10. DW6 was not a good direction at all but DW6Empires was alright by me.
What i remember from DW6 was alot of characters who had unique weapons in the previous games ended up with either a spear, sword or bow. Some that come to mind was the guy with the claw like Vega from street fighter, the guy with tonfas, the guy with the samurai sword and the chick with the bladed rings, all cool weapons changed to generic sword, bow or spear.
The spinoff strikeforce was pretty cool.

It may not be the first entry in the series, but as a long-standing series that has had a longer lifespan than even Xbox itself, Dynasty Warriors 6 is certainly no bad place to start."
