Does no one else play it? I think it's an excellent series, albeit a tad tedious, but still excellent.
I haven't heard of it.
I had Dynasty Warriors 4 for the PS2. I had a lot of fun with it even though it was just a hack and slash game.
I have played a few of them with my friend. The fighting system isn't very fun in my opinion.
Never heard of it D:
I realize it isn't too widespread, as in it's a tad more appealing in Asian countries respectively :D
The storyline, once you get acclimated to it, is actually quite nice. Though the same story is told in every installment xD
But all in all, it is a decent game.
O: I lurv playing it on my PSP.
^I haven't had a chance to see it on the PSP yet, though Strikeforce looks pretty cool ^_^
I used to play it at my cousin's house, it was either 3 or 4, I forgot. It was an awesome game.
I've seen ads for it, but never bothered to pick it up.
^Well you should ;D even an older one like 3 can give you a good feel of what 5 or 6 would be like.
I just played a demo, actually, for Dynasty Warriors Gundam.
Now, I don't like Dynasty because it got repetitive after the first few times I played it(but it was still fun) Gundam is a series that I hated as a child and never bothered to watch it when I hit a more mature and more 'mecha anime loving' age.
Needless to say, one of the funnest games I've played in quite some time. I will probably buy it.
Oh, Gundam...
I daresay that it's not even remotely close to representing the base of the series, as in its roots. The core gameplay of DW Gundam is tediously fun, but the storyline is weak as ever.
If you want a true look at what makes the series at least decent, I highly suggest getting a game in the series that deals with China. Gundam is more of a spin-off/rip-off.

Which makes it fun...
Gundam is a rip-off and it is really fun. It's Dynasty Warriors in space.
Er, it should be called Hack-n-Slash: Gundam. The whole 'Dynasty-Warriors' part of the game is virtually non-existent.
But it's basically players preference:
Deeper Storyline v. More Hack-n-Slash
Hold on...
Dynasty Warriors had a story? Other than some medieval plot that has been over-used?
:D Just kidding. Like I said, I didn't get into it much Dynasty Warriors because it's plot and gameplay was so repetitive. And I don't much like Gundam(Though I should probably watch it again now that I'm older). But I think that they're good combined because I do like Space epics(Star Wars was one of the first real movies I watched ;)) and hack-n-slash TO A POINT!
And Dynasty Warriors has a very strange feel to it. You know when your playing it because of it's 'style'. I felt that when I was playing DW:G(that and the kill counter went above 500 XD)
I must admit the the abnormally large kill count that you get at the end of a battle is very exaggerated, but entertaining :D
Yeah I have one of them for the original xbox and it was pretty fun.
Dynasty Warriors and it's sibling game Samurai Warriors were both fun, but repetitive. I had DW 5 and SW 2 for xbox original and managed to get reasonably ok at them (though it may have just been the 4th weapons and level maxing)
I've played a few of them. They're really good; simple and they don't "try too hard". Dynasty Warriors knew what a "hack 'n' slash" game was supposed to be and gave us just that. The recent Gundam tie-in seemed a bit strange, but I actually saw an ad for its website and researched it. http://www.dynastywarriorsgundam.com/ (http://www.dynastywarriorsgundam.com/) The character bios are decent, but there's quite a bit of them.
I've never owned one, but enjoyed them so much that I always wanted to. I was only 9 or 10 when I played my first one. My parents were a bit restrictive of my video gaming and didn't really like the games, so I never got one. I distinctly remember one funny happening when, near the end of a victorious battle, about 4 or 5 enemy soldiers (in a group) were running away from me and about 20 of my soldiers. It took a while to catch up with them since we were running at the same speed. We slaughtered them.

Yes, funny moments and dialogue happen all the time :) It's good to see another fan of an entertaining and likable series.

Wow. :O I forgot about the cheesy voice-acting! :O It really did sound like a 60's Hong Kong Kung Fu movie that was badly dubbed. :D You're right though, it was a lot of fun.
