This game is another great entry for those who are fans of the DW games(Which of course i am). Unlike the classic DW styles this version has you taking over differnt parts of China in The Three Kingdoms Era(Theres also a Land In Chaos in which its random leaders rather than the 3 mains and a few extras) This game has many varied ways to play(Playing Land In Chaos mode anyways)With the random leader you never know whos gonna lead what area you can also defect to other leaders. A nice add in is the varied endings.. depending on what happens in your play-through it will affect the ending clips.

I am a big fan of the DW series and have played all the expansion packs ever since DW4. I found this game to be very well made and continued the great DW line Koei has given us. But i was disapointed in a few things. One they have removed free mode which allowed players to create their own battles instntly without having to go into campaign. Two, unlike DW5 all the campaigns were there from the start. I found this to make the game lack in replay value as the game now had no real aim as there was nothing to unlock except clothing or Achievements and Trophies. Three, even thoguh Meng Huo was added to the game, the rest of the characters that were missing should have been re added to the game as well. Those were Jiang Wei, Zhu Rong and Da Qiao. I did find though that after every campaign officer levels reverted back to one which made the game much more difficcult than the others in the series but to counter this being allowed to keep weapon levels and attributes along with any horses purchased with the use of bonus points did somewhat fix the matter. Nontheless, i found the game to have definite improvements over its predecessors with better graphics, voice and music along with new character animations and improved AI acts. I would recomend this to any long time DW fan but not to those just discovering the game. I expect some improvements though in the next DW installment.

I was previously searching for a role playing game that had many fun aspects to it. The only other DW game that I had bought before this one was DW4. The changes I noticed from DW4 to DW6 Empires were abundant and alomst all of them were for the better. There is a lot more strategy involved in the latest game than one might anticipate. Players can choose to be the ruler who strives to ascend their kingdom to the top or can choose to become a loyal officer looking for companions to guide himself/herself in a quest to rise in the ranks while strengthening every apspect of his/her being. There is still a plethora of characters to choose from, and many of my personal favorites were back. One can also choose to create up to 100 of their own characters to fight in battle. Coop mode allows two players to play together on the same screen, but DW has not yet been able to take the game into the online world via xbox live, which in my opinion is the only flaw to this fantastic game. I have not finished the game yet, but I can see myself spending many hours playing this fun-filled game. Overall, this game is definitely worth buying and is a staple to any adventurous gamer's collection.

i know i love the dynasty warriors series but this game is not cool at all. its just so complicated dynasty wariors 5 empires was better than this one believe me. i have dynasty warriors 7 and its almost like this game but way better. this game i cannot give any higher than a 6 out of ten i just cant i dont like the game so much and im a huge fan of the series.

This game is an excellent game in my point of view. Its an great game for players who like the Dynasty warriors series I own mostly all of the series this is by far the best I have played of them so far. An extraordinary game for those who like fighting and a hardcore story line.
