But if you're new to the ancient-Chinese brawling scene, now's a perfect time to jump into the fray. Of course, if you're a die-hard DW fan (Meng Huo's man-diaper costume optional), you already know this, and you'll heartily enjoy the latest update. So, how does this pan out when you're actually playing? Well, even if you're just mashing buttons, it really feels like you're acting as a general in someone else's colossal real-time strategy campaign. The 400-year reign of the Han Empire has been brought to an end. With a host of graphical and gameplay enhancements, Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper is the definitive version of this best-selling tactical action game. In a series of Braveheart-sized battles, you'll marshal friendly forces and monitor their morale, raise a retinue of bodyguards that help even the odds when enemies attack, escalate intense rivalries with other would-be rulers (and eventually add them to your own growing roster), collect and tweak new killing tools, and, oh yes, gobble dim sum. For the first time ever, the highly-acclaimed Dynasty Warriors series is coming to a whole new battlefield the PC.

Despite massive success in Japan, DW's obese warlords and obscure settings don't resonate with as many gamers on U.S. It's one of those timeless truths: Nothing's certain except death, taxes, and the timely succession of Dynasty Warriors updates.
