Dynasty Warriors 3 (PS2)

In the games industry, technology advances at a frightening rate. It is accepted that as technology evolves, so too must gaming series to remain popular – Sonic and Mario making the transition from 2D to 3D platform adventures in the late nineties being a case in point. There are many more examples of this, but in recent history at least, it’s Dynasty Warriors that has changed the most radically.
