Dynasty Warriors 3 (U)
Platform: PlayStation2
Condition: Pre-Owned/Used in Very Good Condition
New: Brand New and Sealed games available
Please get in touch for information on these options.The popular Dynasty Warriors tactical action series is back. Dynasty Warriors 3 (U) has tons of new features and environments, adding 10 levels to the original eight along with new troop types, including the terrifying elephant cavalry. You can command your bodyguards with squad-level commands, and take advantage of the improved Musou attacks. The game also features brand-new two-player cooperative and versus modes, along with endurance and time attack modes. And now, if players are caught in a combo, they can evade attacks midair. The greater variety of play modes and moves means this version moves past the kill-or-be-killed approach of past incarnations, giving you more freedom to explore and pursue a wide variety of goals. And where in the past many scenes were available only with subtitles, the entire dramatic content of Dynasty Warriors 3 (U) has been dubbed in English, with an ear to psychological realism.
A great showcase for the PS2, Dynasty Warriors 3 (U) makes both a great hole-up-for-the-weekend title and a good multiplayer party game. The developers must have been busy with many a user test and feedback survey form: most anything you could complain about with DW2 has been overhauled or tweaked, and the combination of these improvements and the addition of the two-player option makes this a truly great PS2 title. If you liked the last version, you will be enthralled with this combination of a compelling story and complex martial arts action.
Parents (and anyone else interested in something a little more socially redeeming than some of the games out there) take note: this game is loosely based on remarkable Chinese legends. The violence is well done and subtle, and playing this game could cause your child to pick up a book (something other than a strategy guide).
Here's what's changed:
