  • Summary: Bladestorm heralds a break from the tradition of basing games on Japanese and Chinese history by being set within the Hundred Years' War. This famous European conflict between the English and French provides the setting in which hundreds upon hundreds of soldiers clash on the battlefield. If you thought the massively populated battles in the Dynasty Warriors games were huge, think again. [KOEI]… Expand

    The mixture of real-time action and strategy is a joy to play, and a nice departure from what is fast becoming a stale play mechanic.

    While the combat can be rough and punitive, and the graphics won't make you stand up and shout, its whole is greater than the sum of its parts. While by no means a perfect game, it offers a fun and decidedly different take that's unique to the PlayStation 3 platform.

    Bladestorm does provide and incredibly well structured action-strategy game, and it juggles depth and accessibility with panache.

    With all these hiccups, I'm shocked this war lasted one year, let alone 100. [Dec 2007, p.109]

    This game is really fun and addicting. There are though many reasons why critics hate this game for example: 1) Many critics don't even know how to play the game 2) The minimap is too small 3) Occassional but rare freezing There is also the fact that many people can't even play strategy whatsoever. Its a great blend of strategy and action.… Expand

    This game is great, I can't get over it, I love every part of it, but it froze on me twice, annoying but cool game.

    Its not as bad as many reviewers put it down. Its very engaging and no PS3 game at the date of this review has the same gameplay.

    Much like all of KOEI's games, this one is for the fans. I quite like it, Dynasty Warriors fans most likely will too. Critics be darned.
