I really liked this game when I first got it and I still do.It was great and enjoyable.I first played Free Mode,basically to get a glimpse of the game,and was pleased to see that it lived up to my expectations.With different scenarios and new tactics,I'd say this is better than Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires.Although I think it would have been better after Samurai Warriors 2 Xtreme Legends came out,where this game would have had the new stages,new characters,and movesets from the new characters for the CAW,it's still a great game and I would recommend this game to both Koei fans,and those new to the franchise. The new "formation" system is great.It determines how the battles proceeds.If your fomation is greater than the enemy's,you and all of your allies gets a boost.If their's is greater than yours,they get a boost and yor allies struggle.It helps add more strategy to the game. The CAW (Create-A-Warrior) isn't that great though.The only models are those of bodyguards and generic officers and there is a limited number of voices and weapons.Thus,the CAW was basically poor.
Overall the game,other than the bad CAW,is great and worth playing.
Pros:
-Great gameplay
-Adds more strategy to the game.
-New tactics and the new formation system.
Cons:
-Poor CAW.
Can sometimes get a little repetitive.
