4.5/5 ★ – yemmytheferret's review of Dynasty Warriors: Origins.

With this being my first Dynasty Warriors game that I actually dived into (the other instance being on an Xbox 360 kiosk at K-mart) I was having a blast all the way through. Sure, there is some repetition, but they did a good job of upping the ante for each level as it went on. The combat is great with some good weapon variety, each one having a unique move-set and special abilities. I quite enjoyed charging through thousands of enemies and defeating the commanding officers, I know this is a staple of the series but it's just so satisfying. There is a parry system in here as well which was a nice touch. The story was fine, it served its purpose. I do like how there are multiple paths you can take (3 in total from what I can tell) with a completely different story line, so I'll have to play through this again at some point. I'll defiantly be checking out other games in the series down the road!
