The one problem with Dynasty Warriors is the monotony; there are plenty of people who can't stand slashing at enemies over and over again. However, for those of you who, like myself, loved those old, simple beat-em-up side-scroller games, Dynasty Warriors is just the ultimate evolution of the beat-em-up genre. There is so much replay value for those who enjoy it, and so many characters, weapons and stages to unlock. And that's only for story mode; there are still the mini-games that they create for every DW installment. And, like I said before, the best part of DW is it's rich story. You can't escape from learning some neat history every time you play a stage, and if you're like me, you'll end up really attached to some of these historical figures and be dying to learn more.
