    Throw in some of the options that were removed from this release, such as new officer and duel modes, and they'll have plenty enough to land another $60 from the fans.

    It would've been nice to see Omega Software's Warriors series move forward with Orochi but unfortunately it seems to have stood fairly still in its mediocre hollow of repetitive combat/strategy gaming. Not much fun even if you were playing it on a very rainy day.

    Warriors Orochi will offers a great deal of fan service to those who are already lovers of the Warriors series. For those not fans of repetitive button mashing missions there's very little on offer.

    Warriors: Orochi is the very definition of shallow gaming. There is not much to like here, at least not anything that you will not get very tired of half-an-hour in.

    With fantastic story lines, but without the fully realized team system, Warriors Orochi appeals much more to old fans than it does draw in new ones.

    Do not play Warriors Orochi. You'll be in desperate need of high-caliber pain-killers to stomach all that cheese.

That said, the gameplay is typical of a Koei game, with plenty of hack and slash and a new feature that is at times annoying: that being, the ability to switch between up to 3 characters at a time. While innovative, this takes away from any sliver of realism that remained in this type of game. Also, it's rather annoying when you accidentally switch characters in the middle of an important battle and end up losing. The Interim Save feature seems broken as well. Also, the camera is insane. Other than that, it's typical KOEI fare. Even the achievements aren't special.… Expand

    Is there a reason Koei keeps making these games? Do they really sell? Is there a market for clone after clone after clone after clone of anIs there a reason Koei keeps making these games? Do they really sell? Is there a market for clone after clone after clone after clone of an engine, name, and story? The Dynasty Warriors formula was new and exciting, with Dynasty Warriors 2, a launch game for the PS2. 8 years later, it's not so new and exciting.

    This is a very simple review. If you've played one Dynasty Warriors game in your life, you have essentially played this game. And the next DW/Samurai Warriors game. And the next one after that. And after that.

    Although as much as I'm slagging it, there is indeed a cheap fun to these kinda games. Yes, it's 8 years dated, but there is an extremely satisfying feeling in getting yourself engrossed into a huge field of enemies, and unleashing a devastating power surge of violence as the foes go flying in all directions. THAT is always worth a rent. But it also won't give you hours of play time. More like a half hour, also seeing as this game is extremely small on extra features and any kind of replay value.

    But basically, just as every DW/SW game has been since DW3, this is a desperate rent.    … Expand

    Répétitif jusqu'à la nausée et particulièrement stupide : un titre de plus à ajouter à la (déjà) longue liste des étrons à la "Dynasty Warriors" dussent-ils se cacher de honte derrière d'autres noms plus ou moins ronflants... mais çe ne prend pas !    … Expand
