[Story]
[7/10]
The story is about rome trying to conquer greece and the city of spartan is the only left that is to conquer.In the begining,it focuses on the city of spartan defending itself from rome.Although the story is quite simple,it gets better and better when you go further in the game.
[Gameplay]
[8/10]
The gameplay is not all about slashing and attacking,it's about defence.You see,when you encounter archers in the game,they can get very annyoing if you don't use your shield.So basically,every weapon you aquire has a defense system,such as swords and shield=shield,twin swords=twin swords,and so on.The rage system also adds fun in this game,you can simply hold r1 and press the o button to chop off groups of enemy's heads or hold r1 and press the x button to do a powerful move on a single enemy.(Handy on strong enemies.)Also,you can use your bow for rage and you can use it to attack retreating enemies.The gameplay is simply beatiful and the fact that it doesn't forget about defense is very unique.
[Graphics]
[6/10]
Ugh,they should've focused on the graphics alittle bit more.I'm not too angry about it,it's just that they didn't try hard enough for the graphics.
[Sound/Music]
[8/10]
The clashing of two weapons is simply beatiful.In this game,you can hear arrows hitting the ground or you can hear your own character's cry of pain.I didn't really listen to some of the music but I had a feeling I enjoyed the music.
[Overall]
[8/10]
A game that simply destroyed dynasty warrior's gameplay.This game is for everyone who likes hack and slash games,and for dynasty warrior fans.
