Dynasty Warriors 7 (真・三國無双6; Shin Sangoku Musou 6 in Japan) is the seventh official installment of Koei's Three Kingdoms based hack and slash videogame series. It's designed specifically for the PlayStation 3, but also released on Xbox 360 and PC.
Gameplay[]
Dynasty Warriors 7 supports Stereoscopic 3D and motion sensing gaming via (only) the PlayStation Move. These two features have been pushed for adding by producer Akihiro Suzuki since the beginning phase of the game's development.
Notable changes since Dynasty Warriors 6:
- Names are now written according to Pinyin rules. For example Wu Zhang Plains is now written as Wuzhang Plains, Zhang Man Cheng is now written as Zhang Mancheng, etc.
- Names are now pronounced more correctly. For example Sun Quan is now pronounced as Sun Tsu-en. There are some incorrect pronunciations to be found in the game though, such as Dong Zhuo which is pronounced as Dong Shwa, but should've been pronounced as Dung Tsuo
- Just like in Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, characters can now carry two weapons.
- For the first time in the series the story of the game will go beyond the Battle of Wuzhang plains.
- You can no longer control the length of your Musou attack.
- The Renbu system is gone.
- You can not play as the character of your choice in Story Mode.
- There is no longer a morale bar.

Characters[]
Dynasty Warriors 7 features a total of 62 playable characters spread over the 5 forces of Wei, Shu, Wu, Jin and Other.
In contrast to previous installments, Shu has now become the biggest empire in terms of playable characters. With new additions such as Liu Shan and the fictional Guan Suo and Bao Sanniang as well as the return of Jiang Wei and Xing Cai Shu now has a total of 17 playable characters. That's six more than in Dynasty Warriors 6 and four more than in Dynasty Warriors 5.
Wu, previously the largest of the Three Kingdoms, now has a total of 16 playable characters. That's three more compared to Dynasty Warriors 6 and two more compared to Dynasty Warriors 5. Wu has two new playable characters, which are Ding Feng and Lian Shi. Da Qiao, absent in Dynasty Warriors 6, returns.
Wei has now become the smallest of the Three Kingdoms. Mostly because of the introduction of the new empire Jin, which sees a host of characters that historically served Wei. Sima Yi is no longer present on the Wei roster while Jia Xu is the Wei roster's new addition. Wei now has a total of 13 playable characters. That's only one more compared to Dynasty Warriors 6 and one less in comparison to Dynasty Warriors 5.
The new force, Jin, has a total of 8 playable characters, which include Sima Yi, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao. Noticeably Sima Yan, the historical founder of the Jin Dynasty, is not present in this game. The force "Other" has the same roster as in Dynasty Warriors 5. It totals 7 playable characters.
