Product Description:
A great showcase for the PlayStation2 platform, Dynasty Warriors 3 is both a terrific 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 of the features people complained about in DW2 have been overhauled or tweaked. These improvements mixed with the addition of the two-player option make this a truly great PS2 title. If you liked the last version, you'll be enthralled with this combination of compelling story and complex martial arts action.
Parents--and anyone else interested in a game that's a little more socially redeeming than some of the current fare--take note: Dynasty Warriors 3 is loosely based on remarkable Chinese legends. The violence is well-done and subtle, and playing this game could actually cause your kid to pick up a book (something other than a strategy guide).
Here's what's different: - New characters--and more characters--all with unique personality traits.
- Great new cinematics (they're better visually, and provide a more compelling story line).
- RPG-style weapons management and "found items."
- Two-player games, including cooperative musou and free mode, and combative single games.
- Fewer life buns, which means players must be more judicious within big battles (and you can no longer think of officers as food sources).
- Important updates are now spoken aloud instead of flashing by as screen text.
- More balance in the powers given to each character.
- Characters have been recalibrated so that individuals other than the big bruisers--including women characters--have their own advantages. (Zhang He may even be the first gay character in one of these games, based on his killer figure-skating attack.)
- Archers are now even mo

- Archers are now even more of a threat, and are reasonably indestructible.
- For many maps, you now have to be a general before even thinking of climbing on a horse.
- One word: elephants
Here's what stayed the same (some of which probably should have changed): - Sparse maps that cause you to retrace your steps frequently.
- The stupid Limp Bizkit-meets-Yes soundtrack.
- The controls, which is only nice for those of us who built up calluses on the last version.

Amazon.com Product Description:
The popular Dynasty Warriors tactical action series is back. Dynasty Warriors 3 has tons of new features and environments, adding 10 levels to the original eight and 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 amd 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 Dyanasty Warriors 3 has been dubbed in English, with an ear to psychological realism.

Basically, this is'nt as much a review as a comparison, but here goes..
How It All Started-------------------------------------------------------
I got my start on the DW series over 5 years ago, when a family friend of ours brought over a brand new copy of DW4 for PS2...and I've been hooked on these games since. Since then I have also gotten into DW3 (rented it a long time ago).
I have tried out most others in the series from DW5 to Samurai Warriors ... Read More

Alright first off the series is worth a shot. There's up to 6 but out of the ones I've played (3-6) Dynasty Warriors 3 and 4 are must buys. The game is simple to play yet fun in my opinion. Me and my brother have had a few shares of laughs over Lu Bu, we took a run for our money. (He's the most powerful character in the game and is murder! He'd chase us over the level long after our health was in red...Stay away from him if your character isn't strong/just started with them) Now it doesn't have all ... Read More

I love this game! I got Dynasty Warriors 3 about four years ago and I still play it sometimes, not because I have no life, but because it's that good! I have all the dynasty warrior games up to 5, and I have to say that this is the best so far!

This was the first PS2 game I ever bought back in June, 2002. I had played a 10 minute session of Dynasty Warriors 3 on an Official U.S. Playstation Magazine demo disc, and loved it. It was so addictive; it was a pure adrenaline rush of video game excitement that you usually only find in 2D action games. The actual game proved to best just as intoxicating. I still play it to this day, even though the game is 3½ years old. I'm not the slightest bit tired of it.
In DW3, you take control ... Read More

Ah yes, Dynasty Warriors 3. Now, before I go on I shall tell you that I am a huge fan of these hack and slash games. I had Dynasty Warriors 2 and 4 before I got 3, but what the heck, I don't care.
This game is rather interesting. Particularly seeing how high a K.O count you can get (personal record: 2218). The one problem is it is really hard to get the final weapons for final characters, and say you wanted to act a specific character (I wanted Liu Bei) I had to clear the game twice in ... Read More
