Dynasty Warriors Next is better than Dynasty Warriors 4, which is the only other game in the series I've played :P
Seriously though, I'm having a really good time playing it and can recommend it. As FiveOver says though, the touch screen duels do really get in the way of the gameplay and it's a little frustrating. Everything else about the game is fun, though.
Seems you're gonna get DW8 though which seems like a smart choice. Since it's coming to Vita, you might as well wait and see how it turns out.

Mostly true, but not in every area - DW4 still has one of the best OSTs in the series, which I would say was only recently matched with 8. Also, though I really like NEXT and DW7, the older musou games have a slightly more satisfying feel to the use of the weapons, like they hit harder.
Also because there's fewer ememies, earning a big KO count by the end of a stage seems to mean a bit more and the game gives you more tactical flexibilty, with many routes to win the battle and different possible outcomes which is in my opinion the only major area in which 7 wasn't as good as 4
Admittedly it is a very long time since I played DW4 and because I was younger and used to go round to a friend's house to play it I suppose my judgement may be clouded over slightly by nostalgia, but I stand by what I say, especially soundtrack wise. DW7 may be better overall but this, this, and especially this are some of my favourite pieces of rock music in video gaming.
They are very cheesy, 80s hair metal inspired songs and a lot of people will listen to them and think they're absolutely crap, but in that respect I think they fit the games perfectly, excellent battlefield music I think, with a nice swagger to most of the riffs
Just to make it entirely clear, NEXT is better, but there are one or two areas I wish were just a little more like the old days :)
