Please bring back English voice acting to the Warriors franchise. Please. This is such a good game, but it lacks the character of the older games. I know the voice acting was hokey, but it was fun. The story doesn't have to be well written or complex, no one is playing these games for the story. The fact that all the voice acting is in Japanese makes it harder to relate to the characters when you don't speak the language. It also causes issues with trying to read subtitles when playing the game, and that's never easy or fun to keep in balance - it's like texting while driving. Even though there were mispronunciations and I'm sure mistranslations, the hokey voice acting is part of what made these games so memorable. I don't mean this as a jab against the voice actors either - they are wonderful and I love them.

Other than that, this is one of the best Warriors titles available - especially on PC. I discovered this series with Dynasty Warriors 3, and this has a really good balance of what's good in the newer games as well as what really worked in the older ones. It's not anything terribly new to the franchise in terms of gameplay, but that's fine, it's a Warriors title. You know what you're here for, and it does it well.

Folks are going to complain about the pricing all day long, but I don't think $49.99 is a terrible price for how much content you get, and I'm not talking about the DLC with the skimpy costumes for you anime weirdos out there. There is enough content here for Warriors fans to justify the price in my opinion.

For anyone that doesn't like the Warriors titles, there is absolutely nothing here that will change your mind if you already don't like them. If anything this game embraces what the haters hate on, and I love it for that.
