6.5, 5.5, 5.0 Well, if it doesn't explain US reviewers' bias towards the Warriors series, I don't know what else does. I won't be surprised if even the vastly improved DW6 will get the same mediocre score. (Well, for me, any points below 7 is considered a failure, just like in my school) |

They view it as just another Hack and Slash, which always get poor reviews because their more or less the same concept. Not that i agree with that, that is. Id like to see some of those reviews, id be willing to bet the only reason the scores are that high are because of the graphics. |

Sport games never get repetitive, but this game deserves a good score, because it is different. |

Guys, considering SW2 got like 1s and 2s (and I think a 4) these scores are a pretty big improvement! |

Better than I expected. It's even better than Lair(score:6.0,5.5,5.0).
Lair looks amazing from the videos that I saw. This much mean that DW:G must be amazing as well. Not only amazing, but amazing +.5.

I honestly feel that EGM has become a joke at this time and age. I used to order the magazine a while back, but they have honestly been going downhill lately. I mean recently a lot of their reviews have been giving out average numbers. Granted I'm not the one that wants 8s-9s etc for games, but some of the things they nit pick on is extremely annoying, and quite frankly, if I was paid to review a game, I would do it in the perspective of as much as an unbiased opinion as I can, and if I disliked a genre, I would CLEARLY state it saying that at the beginning, rather than hiding it like most magazines do. |

For the game, it doesn't provide any tutorial, and there are still a lot of US reviewers didn't know to hold CIRCLE button to perform a longer musou attack or just musou attack like SW series, US reviewers reviewed the game always by just completing the game in few stages, probably 10% of the game, so it's not like bias, cause it looks the same for them and they always think it's button mashing like other said. 1. Their fault for not being to play the game well and they never be creative to press other buttons or read the instructions. 2. Namco/KOEI's fault for not providing the tutorials for US players, JP players do not need tutorials because they're so familiar with the skills and moves, plus they're more creative in playing games. |

Hey there are some of us, US players that are creative when it comes to figuring out gameplay. But yes what you do say is true. The thing is though, with "professional" reviewers, you would think one would try out all the creative ways to do things, rather than to pick up the game for 5 minutes and make a full synopsis of it. :mellow: |

Maybe they wanted to do it in fast speed, like us staff in KW, GS always finished the game around 65% then he'll start the review, same like me, DJ, LoW, BlackKite and other KW members who even finished the game then reviewed it. I think maybe too much games for them so they need to be rush, but I must say it's biased, like a reviewer played Warriors game for 2 hours then did the review and at the same time he played Biohazard 4 for more than 40 hours and even played twice of it and review it with a good marks. This is for real but I'm not going to tell you which game reviewers are they.
Every reviewers have a game disc to review, but the game disc doesn't include the small instruction books, just they never read the instruction from the game, even there's a book, they also wont read it, they're lack of time, or they're just lack of interest to review the game they don't like. And seems they're some reviewers saying Warriors games are button mashing games, so they just followed the example, being a copycat and being an ass. But they did give a shooting game (which is also button mashing game) for a good marks, because they love that game instead of history games like DW and SW series... |

See I don't like Gamespot, Gamefaqs community, or EGM, and for that matter, sometimes IGN and 1up. It's just that people always have a biased opinion onto things, and despite that, people don't do reviews as unbiased as they can. For me, I don't like sports games, but that doesn't mean i'm gonna give those games a 4-5 just because i'm biased towards not liking them. |

I honestly don't know why people trust EGM anymore. Not all that great anymore. But because reviewers are doing nothing but giving opinions, I say F them. Not like they care what I disagree with them. Still getting Gundam Musou. |

play Magazine (US Magazine) is pretty nice about scores I think. They're pretty new to the business (est. 1999) and I think they cover more Asian developed games than most other respected and established magazines and websites so perhaps they have a more holistic view when they review Koei games. I think we're all pretty much fed up about any reviewers who give low scores to any Koei game that ends with Warrior. And if DW6 isn't going to change their minds than really, I don't give a damn about what they say. DW games have always sold and I don't see any reason why Koei East would decide to cut off the flow of Musou games. |

Yeah, these reviews don't matter, because people will still buy the games by droves, despite what retarded reviwers and jaded trolls say. I was in gamestop preordering Orochi a month ago, and the guy who works there commented he wished that he owned the warriors series because they always sell. : ) |

Yeah i never understood that. If you look all over the internet, the Musou/Warriors games get loads and loads of hate. yet they still sell well. |

Usually all the hate I hear are from the american gamer. Not so much Europe and clearly not Asia. They're always complaining about the Musou games but I think they fail to realize there's a reason they sell well. |
