Hack-an-slash action comes to the PSP in the form of Koei's , a pint-sized version of the popular console series that takes place in ancient China. The game provides plenty of enemy soldiers to kill and battles to take part in, but it ultimately fails because of some poor design execution. If you're at all familiar with the series there's nothing about this game that'll necessarily amaze you. Just like its big brothers, the game's based on Luo Guanzhong's novel . Read more
- Solid controls and graphics, nice unlockables, and generally true to the series.
- The short battles offer little challenge, and won't win anyone over.

Last year, EA scored big with FIFA 10 . It was by far the best and most realistic electronic representation of the game of soccer to date. Thus, FIFA 11 had high standards to live up to. It needed to be more realistic and offer more ways of playing than ever before. Luckily, it delivers. Read more
- Gameplay is realistic; Animations and fluid and realistic; Career mode is great; 11 vs 11 online play works great
- Soundtrack is better, but still not great

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. 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. Read more

Koei's latest is alright for a quick fling, but lacks the depth needed for a long-term relationship. Read more
- Can be played in small chunks; feels like DW .
- Massive repetition; clunky feel; unimpressive graphics.

It's Dynasty Warriors again. Type "Dynasty Warriors" into our archive search bar and see how many matches come up. Project Wonderboy is now the official home of Dynasty Warriors. Dynasty Warriors has probably been mentioned more than the word "fag". Dynasty Warriors, Dynasty Warriors, Dynasty Warriors. Read more

If you're looking for an action game to play on your PSP in quick bursts, or you're simply a hardcore fan who wants to take one of your favorites with you on the go, Dynasty Warriors for the PSP will likely fit the bill. The action is repetitive enough, especially in light of its many existing console-bound iterations, so that those who've already had their fill of the Dynasty Warriors formula won't find much new here. Read more
- Classic large-scale combat faithfully recreated, Wide range of characters to use, Officer model presents added depth.
- Combat can get repetitive, Not much to do outside of the main campaign mode, Frame rate can bog down severely.

The concept behind Dynasty Warriors is a good one, but this PSP version was rushed out and the terrible graphics and lack of polish make it a real no-no Read more
