Dynasty Warriors is back, with more historical Chinese ass-kicking than ever! Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires adds Xu Shu as a playable character, so in case Check out this insane new trailer, and let us know if you're ready to get old school!

Game info: You feel the weight of your sword in your left hand and the delicate balance of your spear in your right. A fierce and daunting warrior charges and you prepare to fight. You parry his attacks, dodge his thrusts and push him back with a few of your own heavy strikes. Around you, the clanking of metal reverberates in the air and combines with the sound of splintering wood. That reminds you. Just as your attacker comes at you with yet another strike, you throw out a Switch Attack and pierce his armor with your spear. Stunned, he gapes at you from the other end of the wooden stick.
