I enjoyed the violence in Dynasty Warriors 3. However dignified the game’s treatment of its subject may be, I was neither appalled nor enlightened by the violence. I was thrilled by it.

Hot Games
Fun, exciting, tough, and educational - don't let that last part scare you. By the time you realize you've learned something, there will be thousands of slain warriors at your feet.

There are those ever-pesky inadequacies in the engine which project simply dreadful draw distances in addition to creating the dual annoyances of fog and slowdown.

IGN
A good game that delivers a great sense of action, even if it's slightly redundant in nature.

XenGamers
Multiplayer modes, over 20 varied stages and thirty characters that can be unlocked give the game enough substance to keep you interested for weeks.

Game Revolution
By adding more depth and a much needed multiplayer mode, Koei has improved the series. So if you're a fan of beat 'em up action on a massive level, this is definitely the game for you.

It’s the best action-oriented war game on the planet, flaws and all. [Jan 2002, p.208]

Offers lengthy replay value by allowing players to take up a number of roles on all three sides in the otherwise fixed campaign.

GamePro
For those with dedication and a love for repetitive gameplay, DW3 gives you a lot of bang for your buck. It will take weeks to unlock everything, and you can even get chunks of historical info.

Much like the gameplay, this sequel is highly repetitive and loaded with technical difficulties. [Jan 2002, p.78]

What if those mists could be lifted to reveal the full extent of the battlefield, with catapults and battering rams laying siege to castles in the distance?

All Game Guide
More a refined version of Dynasty Warriors 2 than a completely new game.

Gamestyle
By far the best aspect of this game, which really separates this from number 2, is the ability to play musou mode with 2 players cooperating.

The end result is, like the best blockbuster movies, a flawed but enjoyable waste of time.
