So bought it yesterday and wanted to share some of my thoughts. Game runs very smoothly still the same formula with the peons basically being polygons with sticks at normal difficulties. Best running Dynasty Warriors game of all time hands down. Frame-rate always stays smooth and the lack of fog on the screen at any given time is little to none whatsoever (Love that).
Free Mode is back and it's great. Been playing a lot of the new Co-op story mode and it's kind of strange to be honest. Your officers levels continue to increase and you keep all of the items that you pick up in said mode but your progress doesn't count to your regular single-player story mode so it's kind of like a glorified free mode that you get to experience with a friend.
So online co-op works very very well and for the first time is a truly absolute blast to play the framerate is solid at all times and I've seen no hiccups or fog which is awesome. There are a little bit of strange things that occur that are kind of difficult to explain but I will do my best. It's as if sometimes on screen you and your co-op partner are seeing two semi-different things at once. Sometimes while communicating with my partner I've noticed that he is attacking the same officer that I am but we are several yards away from each other and other times we are attacking the same soldier but one of us doesn't see the damage properly to his bar and they are just defeated in less than a couple of seconds. Other then these strange incurrences the Co-op is very solid and I highly recommend it.
In Story mode it's quite a bit of fun. All of your officers seems to level with the one you are mainly using so the disparity of difficulty doesn't rise and fall depending on who you play as because everybody levels up at the same time, which I personally think is a good idea. There is an abundance of different skills that you can level up as well as personal elements and bonuses to each weapon that you receive while playing which gives random weapon pick-ups a little added fun to it.
Bare with me because I've yet to play a lot so I've yet to see a copied move set yet but from what I've seen between the three characters I've mainly used the abilities of the weapons and the weapon move sets are absolutely sensational and look amazing. The officer weapon affinities give the game a little bit of a rock, paper, scissor strategic value to it but some of greatest moves are when you are facing an officer with an opposite affinity to the weapon you are using and you unleash a crazy technique that just keeps hitting like a freight train. It's great.
From what I've seen thus far this game is shaping up to be one of the very best iterations of Dynasty Warriors, if any of you would like to play with me on online Co-op my PSN is Xx_HandofGod_xX
