Dynasty Warriors 3

"Legendary fighters & Generals...that i love!"

This game is considered one of my all time favourite games today.It's because this game is Half-Ruler and Half-Action packed.Plus,you get to control the Famous fighters from the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms series...ok,before i start to review this game,i'll give you the scoop for this game.It's in the years between 150-300 A.D...and there's a war going on in China...3 Major kingdoms are fighting,the Wu,Shu & Wan.What you do in the game is go around with one of the famous generals or fighters from the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms series from one of the 3 kingdoms and start fighting the opposing army all by yourself or with some friendly support from your side...this i love,because i loved to play a game where you are teamed up with guys from yourside and somewhat help them...and when you get at least 7 guys from your army vs. 10 guys from the opposing army and you're swinging your sword,Halbert,Claws or whatever you get at them,it makes you feel like you're the strongest guy in the game...but even the strongest guy in the game can fall...but then again,you have your trusty Musou attack to go crazy through the troops.

Another thing i like about this game is not only when you're fighting in the game,you can see sometimes guys like Cao Cao or Lu bu in the distance on a horse going through troops like crazy with a sword...then you think ''Cao Cao is awesome'' or ''Holy crap!Lu Bu is strong!'' and figured that you're not worth his time.when you meet the big legends in the game such as Cao Cao,Liu Bei,Dong Zhuo & my favourite,Lu Bu,you may get the feeling that you want to be tougher than them in the game...or be them.

Not only that,this game has very long fights...sometimes ranging from an hour or more...thank god for time limits...but battles aren't nececarrily that long...it will only go that long when you try to look for pick-ups and weapons/items during the course of battle to boost your player's powers after the battle.you normally do this on Musou Mode...you could end the fight in an instant by going after the winning condition in the fight like ''Defeat Cao Cao'' or ''Defeat Dong Zhuo''...if you wanna end a battle quickly,go for the battle condition and if you're skilled or strong enough,finish it.
