Dynasty Warriors 1-6 Images

Image:Dynasty Warriors Coverart.pngDynasty Warriors for Playstation. Nobody plays this game or even uses Playstation now... Very poor graphics and the game is totally boring if you would want to play it today, but I do not know if it's considered good or bad in the past.
Dynasty Warriors 2 game imageDynasty Warriors 2, the first Dynasty Warriors game for Playstation 2. This game was a total re-make from the previous game, which was a one-on-one fight like Street Fighters. In this whole new game, it's full 3D and no longer one-on-one: we go onto the field and kill the enemies! Still, the graphics and gameplay, of course, are rather poor compared to the new series nowadays.
Image:Dynasty Warriors 3 Coverart.pngDynasty Warriors 3, still for PS2, with an addition of a version for XBOX. A much improved game from the previous game, at least in terms of graphics. The 3D 'effect' now is a lot better, and it is still an acceptable game, even now with the Dynasty Warriors 6 with those awesome graphics. It's the first game that allows two play gameplay, and I think it's also the only game with player vs. player for PS2, PS3 and XBOX, since Dynasty Warriors 5 and 6 does not have it. This game has many new stages, weapons and attack. The BGM has improved too. This game is also the first one to have an Extreme Legends expansion, and the expansion really made the game better.
Dynasty Warriors 4, for Playstation 2 and XBOX. The graphics have slightly improved from Dynasty Warriors 3, but has only some changes. The greatest change is the characters' costumes, which are similar to those in Dynasty Warriors 5. The other change is that the attacks and other gameplay stuff has changed, like you no longer have any bodyguard, which is bad, but now, you can ride on any horse without falling off (In DW3, if your rank is too low, you can't ride some horses), and you can unmount without stopping your horse. This is also the first game to have Empires, which also introduced the base system in battle.

Dynasty Warriors 5, last of the series on PS2 and XBOX. As I said earlier on, minor changes have been made from Dynasty Warriors 5. The 3 changes I can list out are only addition of characters, base system added on original game and a little improved graphics(at least much better compared to DW3). The mode which is new is Camp, but it only allows you to inspect unlocked items, bodyguards and officers. Oh yes! The bodyguards are back, and better! At least the game would be much more interesting with people protecting you, especially when you face dangerous warriors like Lu Bu. Dynasty Warriors 5 also has Extreme Legends and Empires. In Extreme Legends, an awesome mode is added: Destiny Mode. There, you will customize your own character, and play using it like in Musou Mode, only that you can change the story, YOU decide everything for that character!
Dynasty Warriors 6, for the brand new PS3 and for the XBOX360 instead of the old XBOX. Just from the image above, you can see that the graphics have significantly improved to an excellent 3D graphics. The game has totally changed from Dynasty Warriors 5, and is a new start of the Dynasty Warriors series(people may think it's what players say, but I think KOEI also want a new start of the series, since the game has already reached '6'. The costumes of the characters has totally changed(I find them rather modern and fantasy), most of them has new weapons, new RENBU attack system, skill tree system, able to find horses, like Dynasty Warriors ZHEN Vol.2 for PSP, etc. Things that are removed are items that characters used to carry to battle in Dynasty Warriors 3-5, bodyguards are once again removed and musou rage is gone, but comes the Special Skills to replace them like True Speed, Volley, Rockfall, Fire, etc. The only bad thing is that a couple of characters are removed from this game. Even though many players including myself complained that this game should not go through such major change, it's still enjoyable and I find the musou mode much better, at least the story is dramatic :) Anyway there's already an Empires for this and I think the Extreme Legends should come out soon.

I gues I'll just stop here!
