With hundreds of "Second-in-command" officers to discover, you can collect and select which officers you take into battle and exchange them using the Memory Stick Duo. Play as 42 Dynasty Warriors from all Three Kingdoms and Unaligned forces. Includes Musou mode and Free mode. Uncover seven stories from China's turbulent past.

    Fair enough, the action is thick and fast, but it's a bit of a button masher, gets repetitive quickly and doesn't have much aural or visual polish to keep you otherwise interested.

    The widescreen beauty of the PSP is entirely compromised by the fact that the action takes place in a TV shaped box to the left, while maps and stats fill all that lovely extra space. It's nice to be able to see where you're going, sure, and we appreciate not having the action cluttered by displays and icons, but it kind of takes a way the whole point of having a screen the size of Kansas, doesn't it? [PSW]

    this game is a ddictive...you will not i repeat not let go of this game when your used to it...with over 40 characters to choose from and great combos, who wouldnt want a fast-paced game like this...i must admit that graphics are a little bad...but the story and addiction in it offsets the graphics completely.… Expand

    Its ugly , everything looks nasty in every way, combined with a desperate rock music as a background , makes the pace desperate and amusing. Still, the action or battles ( whatever they are ) have a nice value , and sometimes feels interesting . The AI is laughable , one of the enemies attacked me and then he stood there , starring me like 20 seconds ,after that he did that repeatedly . While I'm not completely pissed off or disappointed this isn't the game you want to have for your PSP .… Expand

    I really can't see what anyone sees in this game. A newcomer to the series, I felt like there was no point other than mindless slaughter that went on forever. I kept advancing in levels even though I had no idea what my objective was. It got traded in within a week.… Expand
