Good attempt to improve upon the series but falls short in the end....

The Dynasty Warriors series has always taken alot of heat in every game Koei has developed and shipped out to the world. Me myself I'm a fan of these types of games I remember growing up and picking up romance of the three kingdoms on the nintendo as well as sega and always imagined what it woulda been like to march onto the battlefield and faced hundreds of armed men who knew amazing martial arts technics. The first few Dynasty Warrior games I have picked up I have enjoyed no matter their defects. But Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires, I have to say really disappointed me. I have gotten use to the corny voices for the characters but for this game to be considered a next generation game console I don't think so. The graphics are xbox style no improvement on them well unless your a ps2 owner anyway. The part I usually enjoy the most about the dynasty warrior games was the different stories and background info that the developers put into each game I have played. I saw none of that in this game not to mention if your new to the series you find yourself wondering whats the difference between each general and why they are fighting like hell to bring this land togather so badly. Besides the faults I did find returning to the old age of romance of the three kingdoms refreshing and amusing for awhile. But to justify that part for everything Koei threw out just falls short. I think Fans Still dream of the day when Koei finally brings both sides togather in perfect harmony but until that day comes lets just hope they put more effort into there games then what they did in this one....
