Dynasty Warriors 6 (PS3) is a BEAUTIFUL game but, lacks in certain areas.

User Rating: 7 | Dynasty Warriors 6 PS3
I wasn't always a Dynasty Warrior fan. It took some prodding from my younger siblings for me to get into it. I just didn't get the allure of killing numerous enemies (faceless for the most part) over and over and over and over again. Well, I spent some time with I believe it was PT 3 or 4 and I was HOOKED. Now, I understand the draw. So, without hesitation I read everything I could on the PS3 installment without missing any details. Let's get on with it shall we?

The first thing you'll notice is those BEAUTIFUL graphics. As it should be as it is on the PS3 so I'd expect nothing less. The character moves are fluid enough and the enemies are plentiful (as a matter of fact I don't remember seeing so many enemies onscreen at once) you have your usual seek and destroy of the opposing generals and the animation of your character is pretty sleek. You can ride you faithful horse, level up the horse, and add more horses to your stable. Also, is the ability to climb ladders (not the big leap I was expecting) and swimming (ditto although this one is more handy)

The levels are breathtaking and some are kinda confusing. It just seems difficult on some maps to get from place to place but, is figured out all in due time. The difficulty seems easy enough although you will be challenged in the early going as you level up.

What's cool as well is the challenge mode where you can KO as many enemies as you can, destroy towers, speed kills, gauntlets, and do so without damage. I haven't really dabbled in these modes as of yet but, will do so when I am finished with the Musou mode.

I just don't feel like this is the BIG leap we all were expecting. You would think for such a powerhouse system we'd get a little more bang for our buck. The characters are limited as it doesn't have a FULL roster of your favorite warriors (why I don't know!) and I am craving different scenarios instead of, yet again, fighting in the Yellow Turban Revolution!!

If you are a HUGE Dynasty Warrior fan then by all means it's worth a purchase since it is a pretty good game though not outstanding. If you are the casual, wanna try but not sure then give it a rent. Other than that I look forward to Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires and Dynasty Warriors 7 which I am blows away this version in EVERY respect but, until then a good job on this one but, please make something a little more epic next time (please?!)
