Dynasty Warriors Franchise.

Back in the day, Dynasty Warriors was the most amazing game you could play to kill an entire weekend either alone or with a friend. Playing as a Chinese warlord and taking down literally hundreds of enemies with brutal attacks was where the fun was at. The graphics may not have been the best thing out on the market, but it was still fun. Skip forward some years and only make minor tweaks to the game. I don't know what they were thinking, but people aren't going to buy essentially the same copy of a game over and over. Maybe if you added some new element like Tekken 5 did (the mini games and such) and maybe people would put down 50 bucks to get the copy. I picked up Dynasty Warriors 4 for 12 dollars just because I read reviews and did some research and found that it was the best out of all the games in my opinion. What do you think about the series as a whole? Do you have a favorite game in the series?
