other than some strategy its the same thing
Graphics-In dynasty warriors terms this is a big leap from dynasty warriors 5 on the original xbox. In 360 though this game doesn't look that good compared to other games on the 360. Dynasty warriors isn't a awe inspiring master piece when it comes to graphics.
Sound-some voices have been altered and now sound less cheesy but some such as Xu zhus still remain in this game which takes away any seriousness feeling that make you think this was actually ancient china. The dolby surround sound makes dynasty warriors sound much better though. Also you can choose from dynasty warriors songs from other series than just dw5 or you can just play some music on your HDD.
Value-After you finish your first empire scenario you wont get bored. There are 5 other scenarios you can play as well.
Tilt-there really isn;t a storyline to dw5E other than everyone wants to unify china under there rule
