I have to say I'm extremely impressed by Dynasty Warriors 7. I went in expecting an uninspired, mind-numbing time killer like most of the rest of the games in this franchise, but it seems like Koei finally took a long hard look at the franchise, looked at what worked, what didn't work, and used it to make a very solid experience. The game feels fully polished, and its story-telling rivals that of industry giants, and they have added many more battles and events than all of their previous games, though the story and setting remains the same. The learning curve strikes a perfect balance between features you start with and features you need to earn. The only lament I have for this game is that the battles still haven't returned to the tactical depth that they once had in the PS2 era, but the combat system has been improved enough to make the game fun enough that I can barely notice. I highly recommend this game, especially if you enjoyed other Warriors games, because this one is by far the finest to date.… Expand

No doubt that this is the best Dynasty Warriors yet! It amazes me how much they have improved this game. The graphics have made a drastic change from the others that came before it. The moves each character does is more unique, and a lot more detailed. The story has come from random meaningless cut scenes, to a more accurate and enjoyable storyline. While making these big steps forward, some of the moves are recycled based on the weapon being used. As a loyal dynasty warriors fan, I love that they brought back most of the characters' unique characteristics that were lost in Dynasty Warriors 6. But overall, a wonderful and addictive game that i recommend.… Expand

I have been playing Dynasty Warriors since its first release and I have no doubt in my mind that this is the best DW game to date. The graphics are excellent and by that i mean about 9/10 better graphics than the original games and trust me i have had every single game including the Extreme legends titles and the Empires titles. The gamplay is an old original fighting system used in the earlier games, and its great and i easy to get used to. As you probably know it is a hack/slash game. As for the story, it is almost the same but this time instead of there being the three kingdoms (Wei, Wu, Shu) there is a new faction called "Jin" making every campaign end in a new way which is an interesting and risky way of making a new game but it worked well adding new characters and bringing back some old Favorites. But there is also another new feature that was used in Dynasty Warriors Strike force, where you can have 2 weapons at once and you can also change those weapons any time you want in the pause menu. But it also feels awkward playing as Lu Bu and using a sword. Since we are in that category each character has there own special move (and no its not the musou move) for example if you hit X,X then Y with Lu Bu and you keep hitting Y he will preform A move where he grabs his opponent and slams them to the ground. So all together i thought this was a great game.… Expand

I have been a fan of Dynasty Warriors since its inception with part 1 as a 2-d fighter. When it changed to it's more commonly known play-style I loved it. The series has been a little stale lately with part 6 and strikeforce. I was skeptical about buying another DW after those 2 games, but a friend of mine said it has returned to its former glory and he wasn't kidding!

7 is a great step forward for the series and should probably be the last one of what I like to call the "Chinese Historical series". Seriously, I know more about China's history than I do my own. They should probably move on to another nations historical time like rome or england or something.

I thought the new story mode was a breath of fresh air in the fact that it is now more structured in a correct historical sense. Tons of characters with unique looks and newer costumes spice things up. hundreds of new weapons to choose from and new animal guardians keep you safer should you need them.

Graphics and sound are no better than before but I don't mind that since it lets me kill more peasants. and only after hours of play online did i even notice any of that dreaded slowdown. If I were a gamer new to this series this is the end all be all of action fighter games. If I were an old dog to the series this would rekindle that old flame of slaying tens of thousands of peasants in your emperors honor.… Expand

Gran videojuego, puedo que no tenga la mejor tecnologia respecto a los graficos pero es tan divertido que se le perdona. Un elenco de personajes enorme y una duración largisima asi como una historia muy currada (basada en The Romence of three Kingdoms)

10/10

Excellent game, I have been a fan of the dynasty warrior games since they first come out! I have seen how they have changed and adapted to people making suggestions about how it improve it and what not :) Critics who rate this lower than 70 probably ain't never played the previous ones nor researched how it has changed for the better over the years.
