Dynasty Warriors 6: Special

Shin Sangokumusou 5: Special, known simply as Dynasty Warriors 6 for the PS2 internationally, is a current-gen version of Dynasty Warriors 6. The American version of Dynasty Warriors 6: Special is not on two discs like the Japanese port. There is not yet any information on whether or not the game will be released in Europe.

Changes

 * Musou modes for Ma Chao, Yue Ying, Cao Pi, Zhang He, Taishi Ci, and Ling Tong are added and the six characters receive new weapons and movesets.


 * Weapons changes are as follows:
 * Ma Chao from a Spear to a Great Sword (similar to Fu Xi's in Warriors Orochi 2)
 * Cao Pi will go from a Shortsword to a Longsword
 * Zhang He from a spear back to his pair of Claws
 * Taishi Ci from a spear back to his pair of rods
 * Ling Tong from a halberd to a three section staff (or a sanjiegun)
 * Yue Ying from a longbow to a 'Bladed Bow' (an original weapon inspired by the Repeating crossbow, it fires flaming projectiles and contains an extending stationary blade)

Downgrading from Next Gen
Swimming, a new feature added to the series in the next gen editions, is removed. To compensate for the downgrade, the port has lower res graphics and models from the PS3 and Xbox versions. It also suffers from heavy slowdown and "disappearing" enemies.

Stages
Five new stages have been added into this title.
 * Jiang Dong
 * He Bei
 * Tong Gate
 * Ru Xu Kou
 * Jie Ting
