The first of a series of games that went on to be extremely popular on the 128 bit consoles, Dynasty warriors is a solid stab-em up that takes its inspiration from warriors of Chinese legend. Unlike the sequels that are chaotic action strategies, the first DW game was a straight forward , but enjoyable one on one fighter.
The characters are nicely designed and the many weapons they weld, from swords to spears, make the fighting styles different and diversifies the gameplay.
Like many other one on one beat em ups though , there isn't much else to do other than fight people so its life span depends on how much you like to beat people up with ancient Chinese weaponry and for how long you like to do so.
Dynasty warriors definitely isn't the best weapons based fighting game on the PS1 (that honour goes to soul blade ), but its not very far behind !
