Dynasty Warrior 6 empires
Released: May '09
System: x-box 360/PS3
Player(s): 1-2 Player(s)

Story:
Empires is more of a fighting and strategy game.
Choose your character and fight to reunite china under one ruler bringing peace to the land.


Gameplay:

Empire Mode:
Choose from many characters and choose if you wish to be a officer or ruler and play during one of the few time periods provided.

When you start after choosing your character you're taken to a main menu where you can choose what you'd like to do.
<>
Click Here to see menu example

Moving: You can choose to move from one place to another. What is shown is a map and you can scroll around from one city to another. On the map you'll also notice that it's color coded. Red colors are wu territory/green is shu/blue is wei ect...
Purchase:
This takes you to another menu with a few shops. Like Forgery, Regular Store, Stables, Training Camp.
Forgery: Increase you weapon and officer weapons for a certain price.
Stores: You can buy Gems. Gems allow you to add special effects and more to your weapon at the forger.
Stables: Purchase horses.
Training Camp: Increase character abilities. Like speed/strength/ect..
Events:
Special events like joining a ruler and becoming his officer. Stepping down from a ruler/leaving. Befriending another officer or even marring another officer...ect.
Note: When there's a new event it would say "new" on the side.
Battle:
Fight for Mercenary Missions or Assignments for your kingdom *if you joined a kingdom ruler*
During Missions you also gain things like more abilities (ex. My character gained noble manners so officers like her more faster) or even items. You can also gain items like clothing/accessories for edit characters.
Fight in battles and aid allies to gain rank/gold/gems/treasure. You also aid your ruler into taking over or losing battles.
Before Assignment Missions:
If you're under a ruler then before special assignments the kind will hold a strategy council. If you're a high enough level you can suggest things. Sometimes other officers would reject but if you have a "faction" (someone on your side) you may win against that reject.
Other times the ruler will scold or congratulate you according to your victory/defeat.
System: (I added this b/c) This is where you can save your game and all but it's also where you can change your character outfit around. So while playing if you get bored of what you're wearing re-dress up your character!

Character Creation/Edit Mode:
Create a character. Choose from Gender/Height (body size and height)/Clothes/Voice/Weapon Style (choose from original character styles) These characters can be used in Empire mode!


Battle System:
Battle's are the same as before. You play as a character and you run around completing missions and assignments. Now if you have officers you can give them orders as well. You can also defect from your army while in battle. By aiding other officers in battle when they request for help you also increase their liking for you and your chance to be friends with them.
Sometimes other officers/generals will send reinforcements to you.


Rate: 8/10

Bad Sides:
Graphics weren't as great as can be. Personally the water didn't look that great. I've seen games do even more realistic water. AI's for some enemies weren't great either. Some characters they have looked much better in the older series than in the current one. Some characters still have OK or bad weapons and others were still duplicates! Fighting moves aren't creative.
Good Sides:
First...Zhang he has his claws back! Thankfully. But other bad characters like SunShangXiang, Zhao Yun, Diao Zhan, Zhen Ji, Ma Chao ect...they're all still stuck with horrible weapons and some are still dupplicates of one another. Character designs and costumes are just taken from DW6 (which is OK). They brought back some characters but others are still missing which were popular before. Like Da Qiao or Jiang Wei!
Swimming was faster and not so annoying as well.
Love the Empire layout Strategy game style idea.

My Final Rating: It was defiantly worth the buy. Though it still has its downsides, Empires is very entertaining when you're playing a character and trying to do missions and more. The idea was defiantly a good one. What Koei should do is bring back old characters. Change a few things here and there and update their graphics. Allow you the choice of choosing what weapon you want to choose weather old or new weapon style or just change a few characters back to their old weapons.

If you also want to let Koei know your opinion check out their forums and give your opinions and votes here: Click here for Koei forums

How much does the game cost?

I think I rented a DW game once and when I started the game I was like "What the....?!" Had no clue what I was doing-just rode around with my army and gave random orders. lol That'll teach me to read the little booklet that comes with the game.....since I tend to try and jump into a game.

Actually-I've had the PS3 since Christmas.....heheh. But didn't get a game for it until now ((Sacred 2: Fallen Angel)) since I was in school and had Tales of the Abyss for my PS2 still to play.

Still mad they didn't make the PS3 compatible with PS2 games.... stare

Only $40? I think I could managed that.....I have $80+ dollars in my coin jar. I guess I'll be making a visit to the bank sometime....

Cool! you can get it!! ^_^
You had it since then?!! No way! Lucky! hehe.
But...I had no idea. So you can't play PS2 games on it?! Is that an error on the game creators part or did they purposely do it? Also, if it's online play too...it would be cool if x-box 360 and PS3 members can play together. crying

They made it that way-said right on the box. But I can play my old PS1 games on it though. So at least I can get rid of one system.

Yes, indeed it is ridiculous. confused But I suppose if they made it compatible with PS2 games they would tack on another $100 or more though...... sweatdrop

True...but it's already so expensive. o_O' More than the x-box since the x-box 360 got the price drop right? Isn't it around 600.00? Or is it 400.00 (for PS3)?

You should have gotten a x-box 360. ^--^
