Dynasty Warriors is definitely a dying breed in gaming and its sad but this game definitely is a good step-up in the series. The game's tactical decisions add to the gameplay and make you think a lot about what would be better, defending this base or attacking that one. The game's Empire mode on a normal difficulty setting should be around 10 to 12 hours. the game allows you to also play as any character in the game and also has a neat RPG, leveling up system to make your guys stronger and provide them with stronger weapons. The game's empire mode allows you to follow an actual scenario or a free-mode. Scenario is actual story mode stuff where guys will be placed at certain spots (always the same place) and you choose one free spot and make your empire there. Free mode is where you choose any province you want, make your empire there and all other provinces will be randomly put under the control of other characters. In order to complete either mode, you can choose from several goals that need to be met in order to beat it. Overall, this game is definitely good and shouldn't be passed up by any DW fan or any action fans.
