I was into Romance Of The Three Kingdoms long before I started playing Dynasty Warriors. Sure, Koei butchers a little more of what already is a romanticised history with each passing game but it does end up being more fun. But on the other hand, I'd probably like DW a lot more if it stuck to the book as much as possible. They could at least make it so that SOMEONE dies during the course of the 100+ year period of unending warfare. e.g. Sun Jian dies in Chapter Seven (of 120), dammit! He's not an important character at all!

I've never played Samurai Warriors. But I'm probably too into the Three Kingdoms Era to like it over Dynasty Warriors.
