  • Summary: Designed for the legions of Dynasty Warriors fans, DYNASTY WARRIORS 6: Empires is game that brings together the best aspects of the action and strategy genres. In this latest edition, players can experience Ancient China’s greatest and most glorious war as an all-powerful lord or as an officicer. As a lord, gamers must think strategically. By deciding when to attack, when to resist invasion, or when to initiate policies, a lord can expand their power and influence. An easy-to-learn card collecting system lets players enact policies that will increase their empire’s strength, improve the abilities of their forces, and more. The cards that a player receives will depend on the attributes of the officers and their army. Players can also pledge their allegiance to a kingdom to become an officer. As an officer, players can suggest policies in the kingdom’s war council, complete missions for rewards, or even turn against their ruler should relations sour. Most eagerly awaited by fans is a game mode that allows players to create their own warrior. DYNASTY WARRIORS 6: Empires features an extensive character editing system with options to customize a warrior’s gender, build, skin tone, facial features, voice, clothing, weapon and more. Whomever players choose to be, they can now use mountain ledges and waterways to infiltrate enemy bases and launch surprise attacks on supply depots to change the flow of battle. [Koei]… Expand

    At very least, rent this game and see if there's enough in here for you to pick it up for keeps.

    For fans of the Warriors series, DW6:E falls right in line with giving the hardcore followers of Omega Force exactly what they want. For general action/strategy fans, DW6:E marks a solid step forward in creating a more consumable form of the Warriors universe.

    You're getting the combat and battlefield strategy of the regular titles, combined with some of the more strategy-like elements of the Empire series.

    It may be fun, but no amount of political (and entertaining) backstabbing can hide the fact that, at the end of the day, this is still Dynasty Warriors 6 with a slight incentive to keep hacking and slashing.

    This is a solid game for me. First off though, I gotta do a short rant. I see critics who heavily penalize this game for repetitive gameplay, which is fair enough, but then I see the critics bashing this game for being too similar to past iterations--that is where I draw the line. Why? Well, I look up these same critics' reviews of Halo 3, Madden, and other mainstream franchises, and there are glowing reviews with no mention of being too similar to earlier games. I owned all 3 Halos at one point and each one is just a shinier version o the last...actually I believe that the gameplay regressed towards Halo 3 in favor of gilding. Don't get me started on Madden. I guess what I'm trying to say is that most critics, including myself, are hypocrites and one should not base their decision on an arbitrary number. Use critic reviews as a description of the game, not a judgment. Oh, and about DW6. I plays a lot like a combination of 5: Xtreme legends and Empires. It's fun and the English dubs are hilarious at times. Also, it gets FREE DLC, even on the XBL Marketplace, and it's budget priced at $40 ($35 or less used).… Expand

    Its more or less the same from the last empires game which is not really bad for dynasty warriors, this installment includes a way more detailed edit mode that kept me entertained with my own characters that would rule china but the confusion in 2 player and the drop of free mode and lack of online capabilities disappointed me. But other than that i am very much addicted to it.… Expand
