    When the PSP was launched, it came out with a decent selection of games new and old, ported and original. Dynasty Warriors is a title that PS2 aficionados should find familiar. While the PSP version is based on the fourth game of the Han Dynasty-based action/strategy game, it has been reworked, so that it feels like a brand new experience on Sony’s portable. It lives up to its namesake, and fans of the originals should enjoy this game as well. This game plays like the... Read more

    It might not stack up to the hugely epic Dynasty Warriors games on the consoles, but the PSP version of the game is a tight little package, despite the annoyance of slowdown occasionally hampering huge battles. The hack & slash gameplay offers more depth than you might expect, and the added strategy of a grid-based field map makes you use your head almost as much as your ability to button mash. Koei managed to squeeze a lot into this game, and yet made it friendly for... Read more

    Given its storied console history, Dynasty Warriors for the PSP is quite a disappointment. What was once an up-tempo action romp has turned into a test of patience. Camera and optimization troubles coupled with the loss of some cool features bring this once-proud warrior to its knees. Read more

    Koei's latest is alright for a quick fling, but lacks the depth needed for a long-term relationship. Read more

    Diehard fans will be pleased that they can take Dynasty Warriors with them everywhere, but if you haven't been impressed by the series lately, this handheld installment won't do anything to reel you in. Read more

    I purchased this game thinking It would be great but it ended being crap. The reason why it's so bad is the gameplay and thats the most important part of a game. So if you think you'll like this game game you won't so don't buy it. Read more

    THe graphics in this game are amazing. But besides from this, the game is very poor. It is not very compelling to play after a while and it seems too simple and boring. Read more

    I have always enjoyed the button mashing Dynasty Warrior games. If you own a PSP and liked the Dynasty Warriors series, you have to pick this one up. Dynasty Warriors 2 and this one have very little difference, you'll be fine if you buy either one. Graphics and gameplay are very good in this game. Load times could be a little better. Read more

  4. "Great Graphics, but the game is lacking"

    The graphics and sound effects are great, that is what attracted me to it, but the game itself is a little boring. I think it's a combination of the viewing angle and the viewing range, but the game doesn't seem like much more than wildly swinging around chopping and beating people. Not much else to it, it bored me. Read more
