Koei Warriors: Legends of Troy - Playstation 3

Excelente juego

I bought this game for my youngest son, since this game does not have any online trophies whatsoever. He played this game sometime after it arrived, and it worked like a charm. It appears that the makers of Dynasty Warriors has done it again!

Great game lots of fun old school, Finish the game and still playing it. Lots to do, Different characters, Different challenges.

Graphics: 3.5Nothing spectacular, but serviceable. It doesn't break any new ground graphically, but it's what you would expect from the Warriors franchise.Sound: 3.5The Music was appropriate, and did not detract or distract. The voice acting was good, but not overly memorable. The only distraction to me was the pronunciations. The in-game characters would often pronounce a name one way, and the cutscene voiceover would pronounce it another, and not what I have come to expect from the name pronunciations (at least from films and such). Otherwise not much to comment on.Story: 4The storyline progressed nicely as you switched sides, playing heroes from both Sparta and Troy, following much of the legend. Perhaps it's just me, but I kept remembering the film Troy while playing. Thankfully, the story goes into further depth than the film, and you get a broader historical reference, albeit creative licenses obviosly taken.Gameplay: 4It's exactly what I expected, especially from KOEI Warriors. It's hack and slash. A rewarding skill up system with currency you spend to increase your stats, buy better combos, and enhance your characters. The items you purchase transfer from one hero to another as you play through the different stages, therefore you aren't specifically levelling one hero or another. The maps are well designed, and the objectives clearly laid out and suffice to move the story along. My only complaint is that some of the secondary objectives aren't well explained and are easily overlooked if you aren't paying attention, but that lends toward replayability I suppose. I will definitely be replaying to try to pick up some of the objectives I missed first time through.Overall: 4The game lived up to my expectations, and is very enjoyable. It's nice to play something different for a change. There's only so many times you can re-live the Three Kingdoms era, and this is a welcome change of pace. As another reviewer commented, a multiplayer or at least a co-op mode would have made this game significantly better, especially given the scope of the battle. Even so, it's a game that will provide many hours of fun for any fan of the genre.

Was purchased as a gift and was very well received. It was a game that was asked for. Lots of action.
