  • Summary: (Known as "Shin Sangoku Musou 3: Empires" in Japan) Dynasty Warriors 4 Empires features 5 new stages that haven't been seen in any Dynasty Warriors title: Xi Liang, Bei Hai, Chang Sha, and Jiao Zhi. Clouds and mist envelop you in the mountaintop stage at Yong An. Protect yourself against troops that have landed in the seaside stage of Jiao Zhi. Wherever you go, you are surrounded by sand dunes in the desert stage of Xi Liang. Slog through the mud in swampy Bei Hai. Aim for the strongholds atop the plateaus of Chang Sha. It won't be easy no matter what strategy you use. [KOEI]… Expand

  1. Worth Playing

    The new addition of the empire mode and addition of the political policy, a stronger focus on strategy and improved character edit mode and the addition of new moves and combos really gives the game a kick.

    A decent game with albeit repetitive, but addicting, gameplay. If you are looking for a fun action game with cool visuals that doesn't require a ton of thought, Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires is one game worth playing.
  3. PSX Nation
    70
    The new gameplay tweaks (which I personally dislike) and low retail price (under $30 if you know where to shop) go a long way to lessen the lack of improvement on the graphics and sounds.
