It’s interesting that other people tend to have a similar story as me when it comes to DW3 being the game that introduced them to the series, with Dynasty Warriors 4 being a game that kept them hooked on the series going forward. Dynasty Warriors 4 sold well and received mostly decent reviews in the 75% range for the console versions of the game, although the version for Windows received lower scores overall. one fighters or wild hack ‘n’ slash epics, like the Dynasty Warriors series of games. Not surprisingly, this makes a pretty good story to base a video game around, and indeed, the Three Kingdoms story has been told in many a different style of game, be it strategy, one v.s. The game is set in ancient China during the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” period of the country’s history, where the three warring factions of Wei, Shu and Wu all went at it with one another in a variety of scraps in order to see who would gain complete control of the land. DW3 was a fun game to play, so when I heard that Dynasty Warriors 4 was in the works, I was moved to pick it up. I had first discovered the series when I played a demo on DW3 and enjoyed the demo enough that I ended up getting the game. Honestly, I have this game on PS2 as well, and there wasn’t really anything about it that stood out as being drastically different from one platform to the other.ĭynasty Warriors 4 was developed by Omega Force and published by Koei, coming out in the first half of 2003 for the PS2 and then seeing a release on the original Xbox in the second half of the year. of the Microsoft gang, so I thought that I would write about the Xbox version of DW4 this week. I really neglect the big black slab that is the O.G.

I ended up plumping for Dynasty Warriors 4, owing to the fact that I’ve already written about the third game in the series, and Dynasty Warriors 4 is the only game in the series that I have for the original Xbox.

Last week I gave some of my thoughts on the Dynasty Warriors movie, and watching the film gave me the impetus to go back and look at one of the games in the series.
