So after several attempts (grand total of 2 to be exact) at trying to convince myself how Bladestorm is actually a fun game, it has been put out back and shot. Actually, it was shot twice just to be sure that it never ever comes back for a sequel. Along with it goes Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. I could share a few choice words for this game as well, but...
But I think I'll just be nice today and leave it alone. I mean just being what it is (a horribly crappy game) speaks volumes for it as it is. Yes, I will spare that terrible excuse of a game the indignity of having to be subjected to an grammatical lashing and just let it die along with that other game.
So after trading in both of these world class losers, I picked up.... *drum roll*
Dynasty Warriors 6!!!
Sure it is more of the same, but that is exactly what I was expecting so it wasn't a letdown at all. I am actually grateful that it wasn't radically changed or else it would have likely been about as good as playing the 360's Beautiful Katamari.
And after playing through it for a few hours, I will say that the climbing and swimming actually don't change the game play at all. While you could make use of the climbing ability, the swimming stuff has been pretty useless as far as I've seen.
The only really noticeable changes are the alterations in the character models (some look outright funny) and the cutscenes have gotten cheesier then ever.
Despite it all though, I am enjoying DW6 a whole lot more then I did both Kingdom Under Fire AND Bladestorm combined. I am hoping and praying that Koei doesn't decide to do a Dynasty Warriors-Samurai Warriors-Bladestorm crossover. I mean it'll be like a World War between China, Japan and Suck. I mean Europe.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if anyone in Europe has played Bladestorm have feels absolutely violated? I mean their history is being put somewhat on display in a pretty lame game. Ah well, talk about random thought there.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled hack n' slashing....!

Sooooo many games this month. DW6 did not make it to my list of games to buy. I picked up Assassin's Creed on the DS, Professor Layton on the DS, Devil May Cry 4 on the PS3, Lost Odyssey on the 360, Dragon Quest Swords on the Wii... And I'll be picking up Patapon on the PSP next week.
Of all the games on my list, I heartily recommend DMC4 and Lost Odyssey. I am so addicted to LO. It's more story than game, though, so if that turns you off, you may want to reconsider. However, unlike Blue Dragon, I think Sakaguchi is definitely going in the right direction with this one. :)
Yeah LO is fun and so far I've enjoyed the dream stuff over the actual story. Then again, I only have put in a few hours into it so far...
