Koei really took a downturn on Dynasty Warriors 6 and were,in my opinion plain lazy.I'm a huge fan of the series but...
I've played Dynasty Warriors since the second game was released on the PS2 a long time ago now and never have I seen Koei be so lazy...they took characters out,here's an example,the 2 sisters of Wu,only 1 sister remains in-game,they are sisters,they are meant to stay together. I never really liked the sisters but it is one of many examples of the stupid steps Koei has taken,they have rushed a game that had the potential to be great.
The movesets are another issue,they've taken the cool character movesets of individuals and cloned them on other characters who had their own moveset,why may i ask? Wey Yan is a perfect example,I love his new look,but why take away his double edged halberd and replace it with a club and a cloned moveset.
There were 45 characters in Dynasty Warriors 5,that has now been drastically reduced,with around 30% of the remaining characters being only playable in free mode/challenge mode.Just goes to show how they rushed.
They've shortened the game aswell,some stages have been removed and even some battles are now shorter to complete.
We can only hope in Dynasty Warriors 6:Extreme Legends that they will readd the lost characters,and return them all in Dynasty warriors 7 along with a few new characters.
Sorry if I seem as though I'm trolling,but being a long time Dynasty Warriors+Samurai Warriors fan,this is a huge letdown. I'll continue to buy the Dynasty Warriors games though,as i can't help myself hehe.
OVERALL:Good Game,But not worth it really,if your a hardcore fan,buy it,if not,I'd recommend my favourite Dynasty Warriors game,Dynasty Warriors 5.
