It's been a while since I've played a Dynasty Warriors game, but boredom has nudged me into trying Dynasty Warriors Online.
After a couple of hours, a few things really stuck out to me:
There's an overly long tutorial
The world is structure to that of the PSO/PSU games
The UI is unnecessarily hindered through layers of menus
Faction starting zones (I'm not sure if there are multiple starting zones) are presented fairly well by named characters from the franchise
There's no real persistent character leveling
Joining instances with other players doesn't seem too different from playing by yourself, it just gets the job down faster
So far, I like it. I've played FFXI, so the interface doesn't bother me too much, but I can see the gameplay becoming extremely tedious in a matter hours.
Isn't it a bit ironic that they went heavy DRM with the PC versions of this and AC2, but don't have a version for the most difficult console to pirate games on?
