〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dynasty Warriors 3 Release Information for PlayStation 2 )〕 is a hack and slash video game developed by Omega Force (ω-force) and published by Koei and THQ (PAL only). It is third in the ''Dynasty Warriors'' series in North America and the second in the ''Shin Sangokumusou'' series in Japan. It is a spin-off from the video game ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'' and based around a series of books by the same name, written by Luo Guanzhong. It contains a number of fictional and non-fictional elements from the same era in Chinese history that ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'' is set but follows the main events of part of the story which is to unify China under the single rule of a kingdom. ''Dynasty Warriors 3'' was the first in the series to introduce a two player mode and numerous other improvements over ''Dynasty Warriors 2''. New stages, characters, weapons, attacks and music are introduced providing a completely new experience to a player that has played ''Dynasty Warriors 2'' before. The gameplay engine and the graphics engine have also been updated, providing higher quality environments, textures and general overall graphics. Only one expansion was released for the game, ''Dynasty Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends'' and it was the first in the ''Xtreme Legends'' series. ==Gameplay== In ''Dynasty Warriors 3'' the player takes control of an officer and must attempt to defeat the enemy commander. The player must make their way through the stage defeating soldiers and enemy officers while trying to keep their commander alive. As well as hundreds of soldiers in each stage, there are stage specific events to complete that can help the player’s army and raise their morale. A higher morale means allied soldiers will attack more frequently and will be more likely to follow through with their combination attacks. To make this possible, officers and commanders have superhuman abilities and have the capability to kill hundreds of enemy soldiers per stage.〔 The main play mode of the game is Musou mode, the story mode of the ''Dynasty Warriors'' series. Each playable character of the three main nations have their own Musou mode which consists of a number of stages that resemble events in ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms''. The Musou mode for each character is a linear story where the user cannot change how the story progresses. The story progression for Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Jian and officers from their respective kingdoms have the closest relation to the ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'' story. Initially there are 15 available characters to play as and new characters can be unlocked by performing special events during battle or simply meeting them during battle. Each playable character has their own unique weapon that can be upgraded and allows for a maximum of 4 levels of weapon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dynasty Warriors 3 Fourth Weapons )〕 When the next level of weapon is obtained, its strength is greater than the level below it and adds one extra attack to the player’s maximum number of attacks. Items are also hidden throughout stages and can also be obtained by defeating officers. There are three types of items in game, normal items, red items and weapons which can be equipped before the stage begins and will increase the player’s statistics. Red items are specialised items than cause a special effect, such as starting the stage mounted on a horse or giving the player the ability to shoot fire arrows.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fire Arrows and Saddles )〕 ''Dynasty Warriors 3'' has an RPG element to it where the player can increase the attack, defence, life bar or Musou bar of the characters. This can be achieved by defeating enemy officers and gate captains who will drop items that will increase the aforementioned statistics. Although it is not necessary to collect these items, it is helpful to the player as in later stages as enemies grow in strength. The two player mode (new to ''Dynasty Warriors 3'') allows players to either go head-to-head in one-on-one fights or play co-operatively in any of the stages. The screen is split horizontally with player one on top and the second below. In one-on-one fights the characters statistics are reduced to their default to allow for a fair battle, relying more on the player’s skill rather than who has the stronger character. In co-operative play the characters retain their saved statistics, there are no alterations to the stage and the players gain the ability to perform a more powerful version of their Musou attack (''Special Attack''). If the players perform their Musou attack at the same time within range of each other, the attack gains a lightning element and deals extra damage to enemies that are hit.〔''When player 1 and player 2 are within a fixed distance from one another, and both perform Musou Attack, it becomes a Double Musou Attack'' (Dynasty Warriors 3 Game Manual, Musou Attacks) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dynasty Warriors 3」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
