Manage to grab a unit of this CE but haven't unbox it yet. Considering the price I paid for it, anyone would hesitate to unbox this CE. Decided to get the game separately and put this CE in the collection shelf. The reason i gotten the US ver in stead of the UK ver is because of the below additions:

US version

1. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Game for Playstation 3

2. Exclusive DLC 'Golden Mite' and 'Golden Drongo' Familiars

3. Drippy Plush Doll

4. Rare Golden Coin *

5. 300+ Page Hardcover 'The Wizard's Companion' Book

6. Ni No Kuni Game OST *

7. Beautiful Collectors Box (Pure white box with display window) *

UK version

1. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Game for Playstation 3

2. Exclusive DLC 'Golden Mite' and 'Golden Drongo' Familiars

3. Drippy Plush Doll

4. 300+ Page Hardcover 'The Wizard's Companion' Book

5. Beautiful Collectors Box (Golden yellow box without display window)

Four stars for the beautiful content which I saw in youtube and -1 star for the abnormal CE pricing. I could have gotten few different type of CE with USD380+. Nevertheless this is still a beautiful collector's piece to keep.

I'm basically only writing a review because I felt that the people complaining about the order controversy Namco had on their hands were getting to be a bit too ridiculous and were unnecessarily bringing the score of this fantastic game down.

I understand they were cheated out of a great product, but it makes no sense to give that product you love a low score just because the publisher mishandled the situation. What they should be doing is complaining to the actual company rather than seek attention and pity on a product review page.

As for the product, the amount of extras this came with is amazing. I have the North American Wizard's Edition and in addition to the Drippy plush, Wizard's Companion and golden familiars we got 5 watercolor art prints, a 2-track CD and a gold wizard's coin.

I would have bought this even if it came without the latter 3 items, but they are a fantastic addition to this bundle.

The book is the main reason to buy this edition and it does not disappoint. The pages are thick and durable, as is the cover. The parchment style paper used is very beautiful and really sells the idea of it being a how-to-be-a-wizard book. It has beautiful artwork on every page and even comes with 12 short tales about the game's characters. But aside from being a gorgeous prop, it is also a useful tool as it is actually extensively used in-game. So it saves the time of having to click through all the pages within the game. Not to mention, flipping through an actual game prop to help you get through the game feels pretty cool.

The gold coin is gorgeous and has some nice heft to it (definitely not cheap or plastic). The Drippy plush is just as adorable as I imagined it to be, and the prints are something I will have framed one day. The artwork on the disc itself is also very beautiful.

Level-5, Studio Ghibli and Namco have gone to great lengths to create a completely immersive gaming experience with unique yet familiar gameplay, a touching story and backstory of Ghiblaic (yes, I just made that up) proportions, some of the most beautiful artwork I've ever seen in a game, all brought together by an angelic score by the legendary Joe Hisaishi (My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, etc.). All this makes for an unforgettable experience that in my opinion was well worth the money.

Unfortunately this edition was very limited, especially the N.A. version and as a result will usually cost upwards of $350 to $400 to obtain one, but I could not recommend the game itself enough to every one who is a fan of quality games and Studio Ghibli. If you aren't willing/able to pay for the insane price of the W.E. at least do yourself the favor of playing this beautiful work of art.

The game is a wonderful magical adventure that harkens back to the classic JRPG days of the SNES and Playstation ... this collector's edition; however, is nothing more than a slap in the face for true fans of the game. Play Canada is capitalizing on Namco/Bandai's blunder of short supplies in order to turn a ridiculous profit. Why? because they can I guess ... Buy the regular version, don't reward these people for scalping!

I believe most everyone knows the story with this particular product by now. I was one of a MANY who was essentially *robbed* of this product thanks to Namco's complete incompetence at choosing online retailers and actually fulfilling their orders to the ultimate benefit of scammers and price scalpers.

Because of their utter disregard for their customers, price scalpers who ordered upwards of *hundreds* of copies of this product with the plan to resell it up to four times more than the asking price were given better service than regular folks who simply wanted to enjoy the product.

I pre-ordered this product the MOMENT it was announced. Come shipping date, I woke up to discover in my email inbox a cancellation notice, send in favor of allowing sellers like Play Canada to sell it for $400 each, in bulk quantities.

I'm sorry, but screw that, and screw Namco Bandai. Leave it to them to completely, utterly ruin the launch of one of the best games of our time and ROB customers of their well-in-advance pre-ordered goods.

Does this collection measure up to the quality of the game ? The answer is Yes ..

Quick Advice : If you are a fan of Level 5 and Studio Ghibli , then go for this beauty.

If you are a not a fan or can't relate to both companies' production, then you might wanna reconsider your options.

IF !! You are a JRPG fan and a sucker for collection, then why am I not seeing this one on your shelf ?

Dual Triggers for Playstation 3 PS3- Black

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $6.99
Sale Price: $0.15

I purchased these believing these were genuine Pelican brand triggers like the ones I purchased before from a brick and mortar store, but when they arrived they definitely weren't exactly the same. First of all, they came in these cheap little poly bags typically used by those cell phone accessory vendors in the malls at those kiosks and not in the retail packaging shown. Second, I purchased 2 sets of these from this seller and only one set actually stays on tight enough to be used in game play. The other set falls off at the slightest touch. Third, when I compared this new set to the ones I bought from the store I could tell right away they were of much lower quality. The numbers weren't the same size and the plastic even looked cheaper as the real Pelican brand ones actually have a number imprinted on the backs of the triggers themselves. I gave them 3 stars because at least one set worked. For the price, my original set was actually just as inexpensive as these. I wish I could still find the original Pelicans in stores, but I've looked and they're nowhere to be found except a few other brands. Of course I had to purchase a set from the store and threw away the defective ones. For the price I paid it wasn't worth the hassle of returning to the seller for a refund.

These plastic snap on trigger covers have held up well. They install with just one click and stay in place. It makes it a little easier to pull the trigger as they stick out away from the controller just a bit. Not 100% necessary, but nice non the less.

This product is not the one pictured at all. It's a cheap knock-off that doesn't fit properly and breaks easily. The triggers look nothing like the ones pictured.

They also come with some cheap stick covers (also not pictured, since it's obviously not the same product as in the picture).

These are garbage, they are not what I ordered and I urge you to look elsewhere if you want trigger covers. Don't get ripped off like I did.

The triggers were not as pictured but were instead off-brand knock offs that did not fit onto the controller properly. They shipped in a little plastic baggy. I only received the actual triggers after sending the seller a message calling them out on the fraudulent sale, whereupon they sent me the actual items. These are made to look like the pelican trigger extenders but fail to function PERIOD.

I received this a day earlier than the estimated delivery date. It was packaged in one of those hard-to-open plastics that piss you off when trying to open. There are a few typos & grammatical errors on the packaging possibly from being translated from another language; but hey that doesn't matter this is a great quality product regardless. After a few months of drumming on Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and Rock Band 3 my original (Rock Band drums) drum pedal broke in 2 places, so this was purchased for the replacement. I'm mostly expert playing with just 1 pedal, and this can easily withstand songs such as Overkill by Motorhead, etc. If you're really active this may move all over the place so you may want to secure the bottom somehow. I would highly recommend this.

The text on the box is clearly a poor translation from some foreign language. When I got mine the hard plastic container in which they came was broken and part of the pedal sticking out. I believe this happened because the plastic was so old it got bridle over time. I was willing to look over that until I tried to use them. I am a big guy, over 200 lb and I had to pound this ting to register. I bought this for my son and there is no way he has the strength to use them. I am returning them for a refund. I do not recommend this product.

Received the drum pedal in the mail on time. As mentioned by another reviewer, the packaging has been poorly translated from another language. Not the best of signs, but whatever. However, upon plugging in the pedal and using it for gameplay, it quickly became apparent that something was wrong. First it lagged terribly on its responses, but then it settled into not lagging but only registering about 60% of notes played. Tried it for a while on several songs, tried fiddling with it, nothing worked. Simply an unacceptable product and a waste of money. I returned it and am not interested in a replacement. Whether I got some sort of defective anomaly or the product itself is junk is a mystery that I am all too happy to leave unsolved.

I've always disliked the standard Guitar Hero Drum Pedal, so finding this product was a relief! It sits well on the ground, doesn't move much (unlike the standard pedal), and feels weighted properly. The curly cable is infinitely better than the cable on the standard issue pedal, which "peeled" apart as the years went on, leaving annoying bits of plastic all over my carpet.

This pedal comes with a splitter for another pedal and lets you switch between Rock Band and Guitar Hero drums, so it is cross compatible.

Can't recommend this enough as a replacement for the GH Drum Pedal!

Warhawk (No Headset)

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $18.99
Sale Price: $13.90
Today's Bonus: 27% Off

I am very surprised about the depressed review ratings on here. We have played Warhawk since it was launched 7 months or so ago and it is still one of the games that lets us choose the PS3 over our XBOX360(Halo!!!)regularly.

Warhawk is a pure online multiplayer game where you can choose, on various sized maps, what you prefer: battle from air to air, air to ground, tank battles, ssimple 2 feet battle with machine guns... it all mixes together in glorious fun battles.

Choose a shotgun, mine a few tanks, use a flame thrower or jump in a turret to what the Warhawks out of the air (Warhawks are Harrier type planes that can hover like Helis and fly like jets). You can use the sixaxis controller or simple joystick controls.

Nothing is more fun than a battle that has all the varied components at the same time. We use a large 63" HDTV with 4 players online at the same time. This is a blast (much like Halo)as you can have your friends cover you from the air or ground etc. Voicechat with the headsets works great too.

All in all: nothing beats a 4 player online splitscreen experience. It is the biggest thrill to take on others that way or even each other.

You can also play local only by setting a localhosting game. The only thing you cannot do is a 1 player mission.

The game has all the traditionas: zones (capture territories), CTF, Melee etc etc.

What is also woth mentioning is that you can pla from huge 5 mile radius maps to tiny little fortresses with 32 players, i.e. either a sniper, long range bombing war vs crazy stab-fests or anything inbetween.

Warhawk is a must have for anyone that diggs Halo (1, 2 or 3). 4 player split screen is a must have. The variety is a mt have. The game does not get old, it gets better as you start to memorize maps and find weapons.

It lags Forge mode but they have broughtout the Omega factory map that comes with the huge flying fortress which is insanely fun to bring down.

WARHAWK RULES, SIR YESSIR.

PS, REGARDING THE HEADSET VERSION: You do not need it if you have a Bluetooth headset lying around. Any bluetooth headset seems to work and 20$ for a crappy headset is not worth the money. Get yourself a 9$ BT headset on dealextreme or so if you really want one.

Where to start....This is the best game I have played on the ps3 so far! It is loads of fun, fly in a WarHawk, go on foot, get in a jeep, in a tank, and if you get that Omega Dawn booster pack from PSN (playstation network), you can comandeer a dropship. I stayed up playing this game till 3:00am! I couldn't get enough of it. If you have a PS3 and do not have this game, go and buy it now (if you have online play for it)!

Seeing such little reviews that helped me myself I decided to make one.

First off, Warhawk is a fun game Air Force based by some of the ranks ie Airmen. Kind of neat how when you rank up you unlock decals for your planes and new costumes and such. I first purchased this game on its release I thought it was kind of lame at first so I sold it, I gave it a 2nd chance and picked it up again since I seen there were expansion packs out and all kinds of new things added in, this game is online only but they really put alot of work into making it a good game. Its the only game I know of that you can dog fight in the air, fight hand to hand or blow each other up with tanks and such.

I'd pick it up for the 40 dollars, I personaly love the game now that I've gave it a 2nd chance It may not be for everyone but if you like war type games its a good hit! 10/10

Want Warhawk (No Headset) Discount?

While this game is almost 5 years old, I wanted to post a review specifically for parents looking to find a shooter suitable for kids and young teens. Warhawk is that game. Warhawk has been a personal favorite of ours since its release. It does not have the high-quality graphics or weapon selection of Call of Duty or Halo. It is does not have a single-player story mode. It is an online game.

The important thing for parents to know is that this game can be played by their 9-year old. It has zero graphic violence. When a player is killed, their is no blood splatter or real-life death scenes. Basically, your guy just gets blown back a few yards. You don't have to worry about gratuitous language and never-ending trash talk. Turn off the headset and you're free from all that. You can also create your own games, where you have the option of limiting/ blocking chat and limiting the rank (for those just learning the game, to play against other new players).

For anyone who has played the online shooters, you know how aggressive everyone gets, especially towards the kids. This game is perfect for kids just learning shooter games, parents who don't want their kids playing the violent shooters, and families who want to play together (split screen).

(The sequel to Warhawk is being released soon. There is a beta for Starhawk currently being offered. It looks great, especially with the addition of being able to build inside the map during game play).

Other than that, I would definitely recommend this bag to any owner of a Ps3 fat who travels with their system!

Dynasty Warriors 7

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $21.17
Today's Bonus: 47% Off

*Updated for Platinum trophy*

I'll start with my obligatory Dynasty Warriors disclaimer. These games aren't for everybody and you'll hear a lot of harsh criticisms on the series that is more or less justified. I'm about to get in to why I think this is one of the better examples of a Dynasty Warriors game I have played but just keep in mind that this game typically does have a niche audience with somewhat biased opinions coming from either camp. My simple recommendation? Check out the demo for games like Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes, or even N3II: Ninety-Nine Nights just to familiarize yourself with the base concept for these titles. If you hate those you most likely won't like this.

Story:

The story of these games is based on a novel written in 14th century China, The Romance of Three Kingdoms, Vol. 1. I don't harbor any delusions of intimate familiarity with the story by way of Dynasty Warriors but that is the subject matter. In previous games the story, whether or not it is faithful to the book, has always taken a bit of a back seat. The narrative was either non-existent, fragmented, or amateurish at times. In this incarnation there's still kind of a corny charm to certain characters but on the whole they've made moves to make the story easier to follow (perhaps after 7 games I'm just putting the pieces together though). The cut scenes are much better, the voice acting isn't distractingly bad, and rather than looking slack-jawed at a piece of art, the loading screens are utilized to deliver more information in small spoken pieces and text-based character backgrounds. All things considered the changes went a long way in improving the logical flow of the story mode.

It is recommended by the game itself that you play at least one, even better all three of the original factions (Shu, Wei, Wu) before proceeding with the Jin story line. Why? Without spoiling too much the Jin story to the best of my knowledge (again not an authority on Romance of the Three Kingdoms) is an epilogue to the other stories. At the very least I'd recommend checking out Shu or Wei before jumping in to Jin's story.

Battles:

Not much has truly changed here. In story mode you're forced to play a certain character for the battle. From there the gist of these games is that you are thrown in to a battle with various objectives ranging from pure body count to escorts and various shades between. Regardless of the objectives the real objective tends to be hunting down enemy officers which can have varying priorities depending on the flow of battle. Sometimes you might need to bum-rush their general, other times you may be running to all corners of the map to bail out your allies. This particular game has introduced a few new spins compared to the older games including some pseudo-vehicle portions to battles. There's nothing staggeringly different but there's enough variety to distinguish it from previous entries.

Another small change for the better is that the battle staging screen is gone and is instead seamlessly integrated in to most battles by way of an actual camp. In this camp you can interact with NPCs and buy new weapons but once the battle starts you actually march out of the exact camp you start in which I thought was cool.

UI/HUD:

I'm just going to briefly comment on some of the changes here, particularly the mini map. In this game troops are represented as a red blotch of sorts which is more red depending on the density of troops as opposed to other games which will have the same red dot for 1 troop as it will for 20. There are two zoom levels which can switch between the blotch and a close up local map that actually individually represents each troop present in that frame. It isn't wildly useful but it does present some features which have circumstantial advantages such as facing many officers or trying to free up an escort from foot soldiers. A couple of gripes come here though, as far as I can tell there is no way to get rid of the mini map which can be annoying in certain fights because the mini map doesn't have a set size, some battles have large and differently shaped mini maps which can be irritating.

Besides that everything else is fine except the temporary buffs you currently have don't feature any indication of their remaining duration, just that you have them. They appear to blink faster as their duration is coming to an end but it isn't quite as helpful as the buff bars were in Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 for example.

Combat:

Basic combos remain mostly unchanged, you're still hammering on square and executing a move with triangle thrown in there somewhere. Weapons are no longer character specific so once you familiarize yourself with the combos of a weapon it's mostly the same between characters. Where there are differences lie in EX attacks. Each character has a weapon preference of a particular weapon which grants them an EX ability/combo. It functions like any other combo it just has a unique input, and can only be used by a particular character with a specific weapon type. These EX attacks will remove or elaborate upon a particular combo branch of that weapon so sometimes you're getting a better move than you'd otherwise have and other times you're losing your bread and butter of that weapon. It's a give and take but it adds nice variety.

Beside their preferred weapon type, the 30+ other types are represented by 0-3 stars of proficiency. With no stars you actually can't use the weapon (pretty rare), 1 you can but not well, 2 is basic ability, and 3 stars nets you a bonus to using that weapon type. You can actively have 2 weapons equipped, and can change them freely during battle, but simply in switching them properly also executes a type specific "switch attack". Being able to string these in to combos lends itself relatively well to infinite comboing provided you have decent timing and don't get knocked out of it. Last but not least many characters have a second unlockable musou attack. A musou attack is a one button super move usable after building up a musou bar in combat to those unfamiliar with the term. The second musou isn't inherently that different than the primary but generally fills a different role such as being usable in air, servicing a different range, and things of that nature.

Character Progression:

In this game you don't gain levels. Killing officers gives you a chance at either a weapon or a permanent boost to your defense, attack, or health. The amount of the boost varies based on how badly you destroy them. I don't know precisely how it's calculated but raw combo count seems to be the ticket to higher tiers of skill bonuses the higher ones being rather difficult to get routinely. You can effectively max all of your stats on any character, short of their natural speed and power stats, if you put the time in on them. Killing officers will also grant skill points. These are spent on a small talent tree which are used to access higher level combos and various other bonuses for that character such as movement speed and weapon specialty. That portion of your character is relatively easy to max in a single fight after a certain point in story mode but requires several of the larger battles for the conquest only characters.

Weapons themselves will each have a skill to unlock which is simply earned by using it. These skills can subsequently be equipped on the weapons you choose for battle to further increase your abilities. For those familiar with other games this basically replaces older systems of orbs, skill forging, and all that. Between base weapon elements and the skills (called seals) you will run in to most of the familiar effects (slay, ignite, freeze, defense, attack...)

Conquest Mode:

This mode replaces the free mode of previous games and it's pretty cool. The idea is basically the same, you can choose any hero you have unlocked it's just that rather than cherry picking whatever map you want you navigate a hex map with each hex representing a battle. These hexes are marked with various rewards so you can plan your route such that you get new characters, weapons, and other specific rewards so you can keep your personal objectives clear which is nice. As you progress you unlock hub cities and in these cities, which at like your camps in story mode sort of, you can buy weapons, have a blacksmith develop ones you aren't currently using, and various other things.

Multiplayer:

There's online and offline two player multiplayer in conquest mode. I don't believe there is multiplayer in the story mode.

Graphics:

This is probably the prettiest game in the series, especially the updated character models, but this is still a long ways away from being the best looking thing on consoles. I'd hazard a guess we're looking at roughly the best we can hope for due to the large number of troops being rendered as a matter of a performance choice (the game runs rather smoothly), but I'd still like to see the game feature more realistic use of terrain at the very least. Sometimes the limitations of the boundaries of the game are frustrating.

Trophies:

This is a very feasible platinum trophy and much less time consuming that Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 or Sengoku Basara. All things considered I put probably 80-100 hours in to the game to max everything. All characters, all maps, all weapons, max bonds... It seems daunting but it's not as challenging as I thought it was going to be because there is no increased incentive to play on harder difficulties which allows you to blow through everything on easy if you so desire.

DLC:

Several DLC packs are available with more on the way. They're unfortunately all priced with the exception of the Japanese language pack which is free (and large fwiw). Personally I don't feel compelled to buy any of them. The costume packs are pretty lame thus far, the stage packs are probably cool but more than I'm willing to pay for them, and the weapon packs are actually slightly enticing but there's no characters with EX attacks for the new weapons which makes me want to use them less.

Pros:

Better delivery of the story

Slightly less menu droning

Nice updates to the characters

Weapon system proves effective

Combat feels more diverse

Cons:

No co-op story mode

Big ol' mini map in some fights

No incentive to play harder difficulties

Before this I think DW 3 was probably my favorite in the core series with Warriors Orochi edging that out overall. I think this gives DW3 a run for its money but I still had more fun with Sengoku Basara and Warriors Orochi. It's simply a great balance of refreshing elements and old comfy sweater kind of familiarity. I'd certainly recommend it to other DW fans out there and maybe suggest giving the series another go with this title if you perhaps weren't entirely too fond of previous games.

Allow me to start off by saying that I have played just about every Dynasty Warriors title (with the exception of Dynasty Warriors 5) available and keeping that in mind, I always thought that the third installment put forth the best effort.

More recently, Dynasty Warriors 6 was released for the next generation consoles, and while it was great to finally be able to play as our favorite warriors in HD, it just seemed to me that things were "lacking." Now Dynasty Warriors 7 is released in all its glory for the world to see, and I must say...I am very pleased with what this game has to offer.

So with all of that in mind, let's narrow things down a bit shall we?

The Good:

-Graphics. This is definitely the most visually appealing entry in the Dynasty Warriors series of games (though should that really surprise anyone)? All of the costume designs and character models prove that some actual work and effort were put into this release, and this can only be a plus for any video game.

-Online Multiplayer. I have yet to test this feature out and once I am able to play the game a little bit more, I will edit my review and "fill in the gap" on this portion. However online multiplayer hasn't been available in past titles, so obviously something is better than nothing, right? Again, even if it ends up being horrible, at least we can finally be able to button-mash online with friends. Oh, and according to the case, the game is headset compatible. Yet again, I will update this portion soon.

-Story Mode. I'll be honest, at first, I hated the first few battles I tried out within the newly developed "Story Mode" because they were different and unlike any of the past titles. Yet as I kept on playing, I realized I enjoyed it better. While you are able to choose between various kingdoms (Wei, Wu, Shu, and Jin), you aren't able to choose a warrior to progress through the story. Instead, after you select your desired kingdom path, you're forcibly put into the shoes of an officer. Throughout various battles in the storyline, the character whom you play automatically changes (often after being introduced to/encountering new warriors that decide to join your kingdom). In addition to the actual gameplay of the Story Mode, the narrations before each battle are actually quite informative and in many cases (at least for me) you may feel like you're actually learning something. Imagine that?

-Roster. I haven't even begun to unlock even 25% of the characters made available in this game, but one thing I know for sure, there is a vast quantity of them. Many of the old favorites and staples of the series (such as Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian) are all here, as well as many other characters (both old and new). Each character offers a different set of attacks and special moves that the player can learn and control, and if you're one of those players that likes to unlock and play as everyone, you will definitely find hours upon hours of fun and entertainment here.

-3D. If you're into this sort of thing, and you have a 3D-ready television, then you are capable of playing this game in 3D. I actually didn't even know this would be a feature of the game until the moment I saw a notification on the case when the game arrived; it truly was an added bonus! Again, 3D isn't for everyone, but if it is your "cup of tea," then put on those glasses and step into the world of your favorite characters!

The Bad:

-Camera. Now I hope I don't get scolded for this one, but honestly, there are many times while I'm playing that the camera just doesn't seem to be showing me what I need to be seeing. In other words, many times, I'll just be swinging towards an enemy officer blindly, hoping that I'm actually hitting him because he is out of sight from the camera (in other words, he is on the other side of the camera if that makes sense). I don't know if this is just a small oversight that can be fixed through an update in the future or if they meant for this to happen, but I don't recall this being an issue in past games. It's not necessarily a big deal cause it doesn't really take away anything from the game, but just sometimes it looks stupid hitting something...yet seeing nothing.

-Sound. Now don't get me wrong, the voice acting in this is the best in a Dynasty Warriors game to-date (at least in my opinion), and they really stepped up in that aspect of the series. The problem I have is with other sounds. In particular the galloping of a horse as you ride it. Unlike past Dynasty Warriors games, the galloping just sounds...artificial rather than natural (if that makes sense). I don't know what they did, but it just doesn't appeal to me as much as in past games...yet maybe I'm just being picky? There are other quirky sound moments, however they can easily be overlooked due to all the non-stop action that is taking place.

There really isn't much wrong with this game (so far that I've discovered) that I can pick out. The developers really stepped up and did a remarkable job with this entry into the Dynasty Warriors series. Again, I'm going to edit my review somtime within the near future as I am able to play it a bit more, but thus far, here is my overall summary:

Fun: 5/5

Graphics: 5/5

Sound: 3/5

Controls: 4/5

Replayability: 5/5

Conclusion: At the very least, rent the game, try it out, and see if the new style appeals to you. Like I said, at first the story mode might take some getting use to, but aside from that, you will be in for a great gaming experience!

I know a lot of people are just tired of Dynasty/Samurai/Gundam/Chibi/Troy Warriors games. I mean they're just the same thing over and over again, right? Yes. But that's not the whole of it. Dynasty Warriors 6 was really the opportunity to show an evolution of the game into a next gen system. It really should have been a more fun version of Ninety-Nine Nights. But instead, it was quite possibly the worst Dynasty Warriors game ever created. So it's no surprise that Dynasty Warriors 7 has so few reviews. Nevermind the fact that people are so bent on first person shooters and Madden games.

I went into part 7 with skepticism. I figured it'd be the same thing all over again. Turns out I was right...and I was wrong.

While the general gameplay elements mashing buttons are still there, and the challenge is just as low as always harmless peons swarming around you waiting for death, the game is markedly improved over the older versions in many ways, depending on what you go in expecting. Also, Tecmo Koei took the best elements of the Empires games, the Tactics games, and Strikeforce, mashed them up together, and threw in a bit of Dynasty Warriors 3 for good measure. The result is quite solid.

First, the Story Mode has been improved. Instead of playing the exact same story over and over again with every character on each kingdom, you now simply play through each story and use various characters depending on the course of the storyline. For example, when playing Shu, you'll start out early on playing with Liu Bei, Guan Yu or Zhang Fei depending on the map, then later, Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong, as well as others. This lets you experience each character without multiple wasted hours of playthroughs, and exposed you to the story from different angles. It also increases the character development over other versions by allowing you to see each perspective. Cutscenes have been brought back as well, which were sorely missed. It feels like an extension of what brought Dynasty Warriors 3 to the dance. The telling of the story is excellent; it has emotion, comedy, and linearity without the silliness of Dynasty Warriors 5. When characters die as in the real story, you actually experience the emotion of it. They don't just disappear, there's an actual cutscene dedicated to most of these deaths.

Second, it's clear to see Tecmo's influence on this game. Instead of a pause screen showing a rockslide, now the camera simply pans over and shows it happening, in line. If you've ever played the next generation Ninja Gaiden games, the effect is quite similar. The only time you'll see a pause screen is when it's loading the next scenario and it still tells the story during this time, which keeps you in the game unlike older games. Also, there are mid-battle areas where you can talk to other generals, upgrade weapons, and such; when you're ready, you talk to one of the generals, and it again simply pans over and the action begins, instead of a separate load screen. The game feels quite fluid almost all of the time, and in certain battles, this transition even extends to multiple generals in a single battle. So you'll use Cao Cao for part of the battle, then transition to Xiahou Yuan, for example.

Third, the characters are no longer as one-dimensional as they had been before. Now, characters can equip basically any weapon they want as long as it's available for their gender. Some weapons they're better at than others, and you'll want to get used to the idea of equipping the odd weapon every now and then, because it's the only way you can unlock Seals, which are powerups for your characters. It's just weird seeing Xiahou Dun wielding Sun Shang Xiang's hoops, but whatever gets the job done. Also, don't worry about musous the character will always use the same UBER powerful musou no matter what they've got equipped. Speaking of musou, they're seriously killer...to the point even average characters (Xu Zhu) are dominant in this game.

Combat is constantly fast and furious and the enemies numerous. Getting 500 kills minimum per battle will become a no-brainer, sometimes you'll be up in the 1200's just by the nature of the scenario. There are times when your only objective is to just keep on fighting endless swarms of enemies coming at you until they're cleared out, or to escort someone through a castle and to safety (encountering endless swarms of enemies coming at you until you're cleared out). The breaks in between scenarios is a welcome respite to this fast-and-furious gameplay, but don't misunderstand: it's still button mashing.

Skip over to Conquest Mode, and you'll be able to dominate a bunch of scenarios using whatever officer you want. Certain officers don't get unlocked until you finish the Story Mode, so you'll probably want to do that first, but Conquest Mode is where you can basically do whatever you want. You'll start off in a town, where you can buy weapons and items (ala Strikeforce), then you proceed out to battle to do scenario-based battling. Here is also where you can build up your warrior to use in versus or other modes.

Graphically the game is not pushing the envelope of the PS3 or 360. But it's definitely superior to the PS2 versions of the game by a long shot. Pop-in still occurs (which is mind boggling), though there is no "fog of war". The Pop-in is the only knock down on the game, quite frankly.

I've got to say, this game is quite entertaining. It's just unfortunate that Tecmo Koei is way too late with it. This is what Dynasty Warriors 6 should have been. Now, a lot of people will miss out on what is probably the best Dynasty Warriors game of the series.

I got the PS3 a few years ago in order to play DW6. To say the least, the game was very disappointing. Despite my disappointment with DW6, I got DW7 in order to give the series another chance. I have been playing the game for a week and have enjoyed every moment of it. I highly recommend DW7 to any DW fan. The gameplay is outstanding and the multiple game modes will allow you to play this game for a very long time. Highly recommended.

I have played every main Dynasty Warriors title (but not the XL or Empires versions) since DW3, as well Samurai Warriors 2 and Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes. I loved them all-even the much-derided DW6-and spent dozens of hours on each of them over the years. I can't quite muster the same enthusiasm for DW7. Having just completed the Wei Story Mode, I'm not really feeling that same pull I experience in previous games to start again.

The issue for me is that rather than being able to choose a specific character and play the story through his or her point-of-view as you used to be able to do, now the game selects which character you are to play depending on which part of the story you're at. This makes for a much more coherent story on the whole, but it removes a lot of the incentive for me to play any specific character again. For instance, now that I've completed the Wei campaign, what's the point of playing any of the Wei characters anymore?

Don't get me wrong, I like to grind. I'd spend a ton of time in the "Free Modes" of previous games making my characters and equipment super-powerful, but it was always in service of being able to complete their individual "Story Modes" without breaking a sweat, so I could see all the different variations on the same basic story. Now there are no variations. The "Story Mode" is a fixed tale with fixed characters.

(There's also the fact the game is laughably easy on "Normal" difficulty. No grinding is necessary, you'll simply dominate every enemy officer throughout the "Story Mode" campaign on your first playthrough.)

Finally, while being able to choose between dozens of weapons seems nice at first, the fact that any character can use any weapon and that all the characters use the weapons identically makes having 60+ playable characters redundant. What's the point of playing as some minor character if 1) they don't get their own story, and 2) they don't wield a unique weapon or have a unique moveset?

After playing on the xbox 360 for so long and having muscle memory and just being more comfortable with the controller, I have not liked using the PS3 controller at all. To me it is to small, too lite, the L2, R2 are not curved, and the add on triggers did not help much, I ran across this controller, I was worried because we all know that 3rd party controllers are usually crap. Well, not this one, It works perfectly, it had a little more weight, nice grips on the wings, and no lag whatsoever. Each button feels great and they respond as any serious gamer expects. Now, the only downside, is it is not bluetooth so their is a USB dongle, so you can't turn the system on and off with the controller, but that is the only thing that is negative. I don't normally write reviews, but for this product I wanted you to know that I hesitated too and I am glad I bought it. I got mine during the black friday sale and I had a credit from a pre-order so I got it for 19$. But I will definitely buy a second one, and don't mind paying full price, its just that good. This controller solves the problem for all 360 users crossing over to become dual console owners.

I haven't had the connection issues that others have reported, but I haven't used the controller much. I bought it for use with Modern Warfare 2, because I'm a multi-console owner and I like the 360 controller design better, but I prefer PS3.

This controller does give the 360 controller feel for PS3. However, and this is critical for me, there are significant dead-zones on the control sticks. They don't feel cheap like most 3rd-party accessories, but switching between this controller and a Sony DS3 is like night and day as far as sensitivity goes. If you're not the type that likes to snipe or take distance shots in shooters you'll probably be ok, but if you need the ability to make small and precise movements, you're out of luck.

I wanted to love it, but like all 3rd party controllers I've tried they just haven't been able to get the joysticks right.

Also, a tip for anyone that wants to use this for Modern Warfare 2, switch the buttons to one of the "Flipped" options to make the controls identical to the 360 version (aka the triggers are the aim and fire buttons). It makes the controller much more comfortable to use.

SUMMARY: Better than most 3rd-party controllers and the best option for 360 owners converting to PS3, but for precision you still can't beat a Sony DS3. PlayStation 3 Dualshock 3 Wireless Controller

I honestly have no idea what's up w/ Michael D. Wynne's review, but I decided to ignore it and bought this controller anyway, and I'm glad I did. I've been an Xbox guy up until I decided that I was sick and tired of dealing with the most poorly made piece of electronic junk ever. I switched to PS3 out of sheer disgust, and of course my biggest ccomplaint was the anachronistic controller that Sony has not significantly redesigned in like over 15 years. I bought this controller b/c it is ergonomically much more like the Xbox controller. It has worked flawlessly. It has good weight and seems well made. And it holds a charge well. I would definitely recommend it.

I wanted a PS3 because it plays the Blu-Ray movies that are winning the HD movie battle, but the down fall was the controllers. I have large hands and the smaller PS controllers jam my thumbs and make it uncomfortable to play. I found these controllers that are designed like an X Box controller and was in heaven! This controller has ever function that a PS3 Dual Shock 3 has with a better design. The rubber grips and larger design make it the best controller I have ever used for any system! I have large hands and arthrits in my hands at a young age, and I can play for hours with no discomfort. If you like the X Box controller you will love this controller so you can have the best controller and the best system. No problem at all with distance. I was in the kitchen 30 ft away and still playing. Just was a little hard to see the TV.

I purchase this controller for my fiance; he's a soldier in the army. I'm a supportive army spouse and try to search for things relative to his branch. We needed an extra contoller for our new PS3-slim and I discovered this one on amazon (perfect). Besides that the controller has an excellent no slip-grip to it and plays for hours without recharging. It's just the right fit for his hands. He loved it and now that he's off of R & R and back to deployment I'm keeping it warm for him (even though he told me to wrap it up and don't let anyone touch it). I like it better then my own controller. It has that digital camo sexy appeal to me. What can I say I love anything in uniform.

Great game! I really have only played the campaign mission so far, but it's been excellent, so far. Really interesting concept, great visuals, really engaging game play that is tied into the story line well, plenty of twists and turns along the way to keep your interest, and the controls work really well. In addition to the common run and gun controls, with squating, you're also equiped with a super-suit that has an invisibility cloak and increased armor, which you can turn on although both will consume some energy, as long as they are engaged. I also like the infrared/night vision style goggles, that make enemies stand out and become easier to spot. I've never been terribly big on FPS games, but this one is among the best I've seen and I really love it!
