Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires

the game is good,an improvement on empires 5 but is confusing.You can now swap armies and defect whenever you like but can only control one person at a time again which i feel is a let down.When you get the hang of it though it is a great game, definetely one for fans of the series.dissapointed with the amount of characters they cut them down!

The officer mode on DW6 Empires its quite cool. Officer mode you get to do side missions join a force or revolt and become a ruler etc. However ruler mode could've been better, I wasn't a fan of the card thing thing that replaced consulting your officers, i'm still playing on it but so far theres no strategies an really not much of a challenge on ruler mode, you may aswell play DW5 it has the upper hand on some aspects. Also some of the weapons and characters in my opinion are quite lame and childlike, evidence for this is character Wei Yan. Overall for me this game is JUST "ok" its to nothing to talk about, or make you wanna play it non-stop. It's just "ok" however on a good note the graphics also the fighting has gotten better.

The game is great, but it could've been a lot better. There's no Free Mode, only an extended Empire Mode. There's also no "Load Original" to give us anything from the original DW6. The Empire Mode is great, and the mode to let you use your own Warriors is good. Surprising, the game is merely a Menu screen where you can draw "Cards" and use them, upgrade your weapons, go to the shop, or go to battle. You can't even position your troops at the places you've captured either. I didn't think they'd get rid of any features from the old DW5: Empires but they have. They also didn't add any XBOX Live gameplay available, which would have been good. However, there are less generic weapons now (except for the women) as they've changed a few people's weapons. They brang back one old character but no other one's, which is a shame. However, they are offering free DLC (music and CAW armour), so they may make old characters available through DLC. Overall, it's a great fun game, just like DW6 and I recommend it if you're a fan of the series or want to play a good button masher, but it could've have been a lot better. I was expecting more.
