In spite of the repetitive sounds, uninspired music and dated visuals, the game still offers the best experience in the entire series. The brawling itself, although repetitive, offers enough variation to keep things interesting, and it will take you a while to try out all the different weapons.

A brilliantly absurd arcade brawler that's brimming with personality, but suffers from repetition and a glaring lack of online multiplayer.

The insane amount of content overall that Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Complete Edition has to offer truly makes it a worthy purchase for any fan of Dynasty Warriors, and is a great place to start for anybody that is looking to get into the series for the first time. Those expecting something different to the usual Dynasty Warriors formula won't find it here, however. Fans who don't own the original Dynasty Warriors 8 should have an absolute blast with this, but it might not be worth buying for owners of the initial version, unless desperate to play the extra story of Lu Bu, as well as the other extras.

An action-packed brawler that's great to play with (local) friends, this port is impaired by inferior visuals, lack of an online multiplayer mode, and other problems.

This is a game with genuinely days upon days worth of missions, challenges, objectives, characters and things to collect. It's not content light by any means - though it also doesn't change up at any point during its entire playtime. This is a pretty great Dynasty Warriors game, and Warriors fans will find hours of fun, but I'm not sure that more casual fans of action games will find it as endearing.
