Dynasty Warriors (Shin. Sangoku Musou) is one of the well-known games from KOEI based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms epic. For several years, many detractors have criticized that Dynasty Warriors series are rather meaningless and boring kind of hack-n-slash action games. They were actually very wrong without judging and rating the games carefully with their own eyes. Although there weren't loads of improvements being made, especially from Dynasty Warriors 4 to Dynasty Warriors 5, but it's clearly proved that every Dynasty Warriors series did have the improvement if you rank it carefully from the first Dynasty Warriors until now.

BB? What's BB and What's Dynasty Warriors BB?
Dynasty Warriors BB (also known as "Shin. Sangoku Musou BB" in Japan) has the greatest evolution with many new features, improvements added. BB stands for Broadband, this also means that Dynasty Warriors BB is an online game that allows you to make your allies, fight against your enemies, and create your own exquisite stories to conquer the world. Dynasty Warriors BB is working on PC which Windows 2000/XP is the best choice but it does need a high requirements, such as minimum Pentium 2.4GHz CPU, 512MB RAM and 1MB broadband speed in order to run the game perfectly. One bad news is you need to pay for playing this game.

Dynasty Warriors BB is totally different from the past Dynasty Warriors series, not just because it's an online game. First, you have to login with your username and password. For Dynasty Warriors BB, you're not role-playing any of your favorite characters, such as Ma Chao, Sun Ce or Zhen Ji in Romance of the Three Kingdoms era, but to create your own character is everything that must be done.

This game is more concentrating into Liu Bei (Shu), Cao Cao (Wei) and Sun Jian (Wu) forces and also some other forces like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. The story is actually followed by the timeline, so if you're in the year 204 in the game, some events that happened in that year might be appeared

I was a big Dynasty Warriors fan a few years ago, but havn't been keeping up with the last few installments of the series, although this one looks pretty good.

Zhang He > Everyone else

Who needs a DBZ MMO? I SHALL DESTROY YOU!

Eh the dynasty looks nice too, though I haven't played the other games.

You sir, are a cretin.

Sima Yi>Zhang He>Xiahou Dun>Everyone Else>Elephant Crap.

Of course, I didn't expect you to appreciate Sima's brilliance.

[Tapion]

Psshh....Sima Yi and Xiahou Dun weren't even half as cool as Pang Tong combined.

AND PANG TONG WAS A FREAK!

[Raz]

Zhou Tai pwnage.

[Nappa]

Zhou Tai was cool, but I'm tired of people saying he is using a Katana. It is NOT a katana. Granted, I don't remember what it is, but I know it's not a katana.

Oh, and Pang Tong sux. OLO.

[The Not Cool Not Tapion]

Zhuge Liang would own them all with strategy.

It's a tachi, my good councillor.

Many thanks, Goten.

And, Cao Pi is my second favorite character.

You don't need to keep up with Dynasty Warriors, they're all the same.

Repetitive slashing through millions of enemies that somehow can't lay a finger on you.
Countless minutes running/riding to the next wave of enemies from across the map.
Super strong fight with Lu Bu that you run from every now and then.
Overly exaggerated specials that wipe out 20 enemies.



The only differences is that they may add one or two new things, like custom characters, or storylines. That's about it. Did I mention that in each game the levels look almost exactly the same?

[Captain Silver]

Samurai Warriors > Dynasty Warriors

[King Cold444]

Purple custom pwnage... and then Zhou Tai > Pan Tong > Elephant waste > Everyone else

[Raditzu]

First of all, everyone here is wrong because Guan Yu is the greatest.

Secondly, I'm interested to see how they handle time progression in an MMO and how directly they plan to relate the years to the actual events of Romance.

[Drake]

Lu Bu

[The Not Cool Not Tapion]

Zhang Fei was actually supposed to be stronger than Guan Yu

And Lu Bu...well...meh

They said that they will make certain events happen according to the date in game but I guess they are starting the game from the beginning of the time line

Which was exactly my point. How do they transition time in the game? It puts a great deal of limitation on events and how the players can experience them. Once, say, the event in the year 241 is over, its over. You can't go back in time.
