Binge Gamer reviews the newly released port of Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce for the PS3 and Xbox 360. While the game engine is sharp as a tack, the game seems to deviate from what makes it a Dynasty Warrior title in the first place.

Dynasty Warriors is a prime example of “love it or hate it”. While some find the game redundant, mindless, and lacking innovation, others see it as a majestical dance in sunshine sugar fields of orgasmic pleasure—just brimming with armed bodies to decapitate as you please.

I fall into the latter category, loving the damn things like a hobo loves liquor.

Which brings us to Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce. I missed the PSP version which launched last April (though I did catch the demo which was pretty tight). Because of this, I was anxious to see what joys a console port would bring.

But when I finally got to play it, I was stricken with a blended smoothie of bitter emotion. To be fair, Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce is certainly fun and doesn’t come close to the awful I’ve seen in many, many games reviewed for this site. However, it’s far from up to snuff when contrasted with past games in the series, leaving me hungry for an experience it’s utterly incapable of delivering.
