The action in the State of War (released March 7, 2006) is good, and the story is entertaining at the start, but that's that since you'll get bored easily with them. You get on to your strategy of finding the enemy camp and doing hand to hand combat. The tricks you could use against the enemy (like paralysis, poison and other attack charms) are enough to get you through the game. Mass killing is also an option.

If you're in for some drama in the storyline other than just the usual justification of the mass slaughter you'll be undertaking in the game, then this is a good enough game for you. Even better if you liked the Dynasty Warriors.
