Generals and soldiers clash once again in a portable version of Koei's hack 'n slash battlefield game from the PS2. A total of 42 fighters from Dynasty Warriors 5 are featured in the game who hail from their respective kingdoms of Shu, Wei, and Wu. Based on a quick play-through this morning, missions are shorter and more harried than the ones found in the PS2 versions of DW. Whereas the PS2 games gave ample time to explore levels and kill every enemy in sight, the timer in the PSP game is less generous and one has to complete objectives in quick fashion. Another difference from the PS2 version is weapons and items no longer determine the skill sets that a general has. Up to four bodyguards grant abilities and powering up depends on the point score of one's guards upon completing a level. As battles are won, new bodyguards may be added to one's stable of fighters. NOTE: The nearly 1-minute loading time to boot the game is normal. There is nothing wrong with your PSP.
