About DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 XTREME LEGENDS

DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 XTREME LEGENDS (DW5XL) is an
expansion disc that can be played with or without the original Dynasty Warriors
5 (DW5). DW5 can be "remixed" with DW5XL to add new Xtreme Legends features to
DW5’s Musou and Free Modes. (Dynasty Warriors 5 is sold separately).

DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 XTREME LEGENDS serves up a
banquet of 18 all-new maps, 5 sizzling modes, and so much more! In "Legend"
mode, gamers will take part in never-before-told stories, including the first
showdown between the Kingdoms of Wei and Shu, and the attempt to kidnap the
Emperor. Players can order up a new hero in the series’ most expansive "Edit"
mode; with la carte options to create 20,000 possible character combinations.
In the game’s new "Destiny" mode, the player starts as a foot soldier, and works
their way up the ranks. Gamers will have a previously unheard of level of
control over their character’s destiny by choosing which officer and kingdom
they will serve. If a player becomes unhappy with his commanding officer, the
player can switch allegiance to another general and kingdom.

Additional features include 2 player co-op play
in the intimidating "Xtreme" mode, two new "Challenge" courses, a new
"Blacksmith" system that allows players to upgrade their characters and weapons
using special items, a "Novice" difficulty level, plus new rare items and
power-up items.

Across the globe, the Dynasty Warriors series of
games has become one of this generation’s most popular and influential series.
DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 XTREME LEGENDS already made its debut in Japan this past
September as the top-selling title across all platforms. In North America, the
original Dynasty Warriors 5 for PlayStation 2 has become one of the best-selling
games released this year for the console.

Omega Force, DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 XTREME LEGENDS is a 1-2 player game, and is
