New graphics and gameplay tweaks give new flavor to our beloved dynasty warriors series.
The graphics are amazing! I first played on an old tube TV and it still looked great other then the text being very hard to read. I went out and got an HDTV and hooked up via HDMI and it is just amazing! I love how the capes blow into the wind now.
Each character that has a musou mod gets 10 unique movies that play throughout the story. I've noticed that not everyone gets a story witch is kinda disappointing but the amount of content put into the available stories is great. The renbu system adds a new flavor to the hack-n-slash combat. The skill tree that each character has adds replay value and strategy in the way you want to progress the character.
The history in the game is good but is somewhat inaccurate but this is a video game not a history lesson. Each characters story really gets you into the way that person thinks. Some of the character movesets have been cloned onto other characters and some characters didn't make it into the roster but that is completely understandable since the game was rebuild from the ground up. If you really think about it all the characters are new since they've been redone.
If you love to hack-n-slash or love this time period and the past games in this series then this is a must have. I gave this game a 8.5 because of some missing features but I'm sure it's nothing an expansion or some downloadable content can't fix.
