Note that i'm typing this now that my dynasty warrior years are over. This DW is like any other. The difference is that they included the bases you have to capture in order. Wait...was that in 4 also? eh. Who's counting at this point?

One thing that always bothered me is that the enemies rarely fight back. They might interrupt your combo as you fight a ranked officer, and that's the only challenge in the game. I'm disappointed that the makers thought, "so how do we make it different? I know, more harmless foot soldiers." Granted it's a hack'n'slash, but they need some sort of system. And they could stop using the same engine over and over for each game. There's a reason why a game like DW and COD comes out every year. They might as well charge you a game's full price for an update. There's no difference.

If you love Dynasty Warriors however, you'll enjoy 5.
