I love the simple combos and partying in the game. It reminds of the guard impact in soul calibur.

As the first entry in the Dynasty Warriors series, this game is a 1-on-1 fighter, not a 3D beat-em-up like the series is known for. Visually, the graphics and fluid 60 FPS gameplay hold up very well. However, the controls are a tad stiff and take some practice to get comfortable with. The gameplay doesn't have a high "wow" factor with the action going on, but it's still pretty engaging to watch, especially when you get good at those special moves and combos. I think the longevity lies in unlocking new characters and seeing each character's ending FMV. If you're a fan of the DW series, I'd recommend this game for the novelty value.

This is an excellent fighter that is often overlooked. This game was never in arcades and most fighters that were made direct-to-consoles (during the late 90's) were often poor. Dynasty Warriors is an exception. There are a lot of one-on-one fighting games, but not many that involve the use of weapons. The Samurai Shodown series and Soul Caliber series are the only two that I can think of. What makes this game good is what makes any fighting game good. First the graphics are clear and well done. The characters still look good today. Most important is the collision detection is well done. You won't see weapons going through an opponent and then saying, "Why didn't that attack hit that guy?" Guys respond well to being hit and you get the sense that they are being hit. Second the sound is good. The background music has a cool uptempo Japanese style. Characters say things in Japanese, which seems appropriate since they are Japanese. Even though I don't know what they're saying it's better then them speaking English and taking the authenticity away. They make good "grunt" sounds when attacking or getting hit. Third the controls are simple and responsive. There are moves and controller combinations that are similar to Street Fighter II. That's a good thing. You can do combos, but not more than 3 or 4 hits, which is the way I like it. I hate ridicoulse combos of 10 or more hits. Last the characters are well balanced and likable. Sure some are better than others, but a good player can beat a mediocre player no matter who they're using. Characters are unique and I found myself liking almost all of them. This game is good if you've played the other Dynasty Warriors games and are interested in seeing familiar characters and for getting a feel how the future games evolved. You should be able to pick up this excellent fighter for less then $10. I got mine for $6.25. That's $2.26 for the game and $3.99 for shipping. That's a great deal for a great game!Read full review
