Dynasty Warriors is a hack and slash battle game centered in the early days of Japan. You control a character (that you have the option of picking) which belongs to a team. There's different clans that want to try to rule for supremacy and it's up to you to prove that you've got what it takes to rule Japan!

This section is probably the only section were dynasty warriors scores high
in points. The PS2 produces beautiful CG cinema graphics explaining the
store line and the locations that you battle on are detailed to the max. The
most impressive fact in dynasty warriors 2 is that there can be so much bad guys on screen at the same time and there's absolutely no slow down. Plus
every single character is detailed right down to the last bit of clothing on
them. But we all know (and if you don't...shame on you!) that graphics is
not what makes a game entertaining.......

Dynasty Warriors is a very simple game. Actually it's too simple. What is
meant by that comment? Well Dynasty Warriors fails to offer something that would have improved the game: Character Development. The idea is to run
around and slice tons and tons of soldiers over and over and over again and it just gets too repetitive and dull when there's no new moves or anything
like that to learn. That one thing is what destroys the games overall replay
value. When you get on the horse it's fun to run around and knock groups of soldiers, but if the bad guys strength is higher than yours you can't knock em' over, limiting the use of the horse around ending bosses.

The only thing that saves the replay value from totally falling down is the
fact that you can choose a different character when you complete the story with your first choice. They will go through the same area's slicing there way to the ending. There's around twenty-something characters in total to get.

The only thing that boosts this games score is the beautiful graphics.
Dynasty Warriors is worth a good rental at least, just to see if you'll
enjoy the game or not. The game is a toss up between you either thinking
it's okay, or hating it to death.....nothing in between.
