GameSpot reviews Dynasty Warriors 6

Dynasty Warriors 6 is the first game in Koei's long-running hack-and-slash series to be built specifically for current-generation consoles, and as such it benefits in one major area: It looks pretty. Other than that, this is Dynasty Warriors as it has been since its inception: a huge, sprawling, button-mashing affair set in ancient China, complete with the series' requisite cheesy cutscenes, dozens of playable characters, bad dialogue, and mostly incomprehensible storyline. Of course, there are new gameplay additions in Dynasty Warriors 6, but they're tweaks rather than overhauls and will be more exciting to long-term fans than casual players of the series.

The Good
* It's the same old Dynasty Warriors formula
* Plenty of playable characters
* Fog of war now gone.

The Bad
* It's the same old Dynasty Warriors formula
* Renbu system makes combat even simpler
* Enemies still pop up out of nowhere.

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.

Looking back at 10 years of... Dynasty Warriors 6

Carlos writes "So, we’re back once more with the next entry in TheXboxHub’s ‘Looking back at’ series as we take a gander at another title celebrating an anniversary - Dynasty Warriors 6, which celebrates it’s 10-year birthday this week. 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."
