In an era of downloadable, seamlessly integrated expansion packs, Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends seems like an archaic holdover. However, if players can overlook the nuances of swapping discs then the title does deliver a worthwhile, if slightly costly extension of DW7’s pleasingly play.

Both Borderlands games have split-screen co-op.
Recommend it if you're looking for a co-op game.
Combined $60 for both on Live. If you own a PS3 and have Plus but never bought Borderlands 2.
This is a steal @ $20.99
Yeah, you could do the retail vs. PSN comparisons until you pass out from exhaustion. You're typically going to get a better deal on older games by going to a retail store but let's see you get the UMD version working on your Vita haha ;)
Tin Salamunic: A little over a decade ago, the Dynasty Warriors games were my go-to franchise for reliving the retro days of brainless, albeit therapeutic, button mashing. Despite their simplicity, slicing though hordes of enemies with extravagant Wushu maneuvers was exhilarating. As the current generation rolled in, the series became somewhat stagnant; introducing meager changes to an already barren formula and with so many yearly permutations, I lost track…and eventually interest. It’s been years since I picked up a Dynasty Warriors title; so going into this updated expansion to DW7 evoked a certain sense of nostalgia. I can’t say that my expectations were high, but to my surprise, Tecmo’s latest is a superb little gem for fans reminiscing the days of vintage brawlers.
Not every sequel capitalizes on the promise of the original. Here's five examples of sequels they really didn't need to make.
Hindsight being what it is, it's pretty easy to look back and say a bad sequel wasn't needed...
And yeah, Bioshock 2 was nothing special but Infinite is sort of a sequel, right? And that's gonna be amaaazing.
A standalone disk which doesn't offer much is you don't already own DW7. I'm a bit confused.
Thanks for posting.
Good review.
So the cute girl in the pic is supposed to be able to slaughter 1000's of men?
Yup, both her and Guan Suo are both horrible adds.
