    There's just so much to do in Xtreme Legends that any fan will need to pick it up. [Holiday 2005, p.84]

    Xtreme Legends is – quite simply – the game that Dynasty Warriors 5 should have been. Some real improvements have been made, and the game is much deeper than it ever has been before.

    Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends is an ok game, but I’m sick of the blatant milking of this cash cow.

    This feels rushed.

    It's way too monotonous. Lots of button mashing, frustration, and stupid AI don't a good game make, at least not in 2005.

    Koei jazzes up their flagship franchise just in time for the holidays, but doesn't seem to offer enough to warrant the asking price.

    Same old Dynasty Warriors. New modes can't disguise the almost criminal lack of progress in this hack-'n'-slash relic. [Feb 2006, p.92]

    Probably the best in the series. Offers RPG-like Extreme and Destiny modes, a scenario-like Legend mode, along with the Edit, Challenge, and Probably the best in the series. Offers RPG-like Extreme and Destiny modes, a scenario-like Legend mode, along with the Edit, Challenge, and Encyclopedia modes which are par for the course. The AI and tactic system is much improved over previous games. While it is true that it offers the same old Dynasty Warriors gameplay, as a stand-alone game it is well worth the $30.… Expand
