To someone who only played dynasty warrior next and samurai warrior 3 before. I can only say that I find SW3 much more enjoyable compared to next. The move set and gameplay are mostly similar as are most of the warrior series as I heard. The number of modes also keep the game interesting. Especially the conquest mode or whatever it's called increased the replayability as you can choose your own path.

I was okay with most of the touch screen based mechanics. I find some of them fun even and a great addition. However that single touch screen feature ruined it all for me: the duels. They are excessively long especially when you're not equipped with the better equipments. I remember clashing with guan yu or even Lu bu for over 10 minutes! (At least it felt that way). Not really a pleasant experience as losing focus for even an instant will grant you death. While you have to hit them many times.

Otherwise, the game is pretty solid. They are no noticeable frame drops as far as I know (maybe a few here and there) and graphics are great. An excellent addition to the warrior series barring the horrid duels.
