Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars vs Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars brings the infamous Kane nad his Brotherhood of Nod back to once again launch a massive global massault on the Global Defense Initiative (GDI), starting that is known as the Third Tiberium War. Aside from the grand storyline, the game also offer three amazing campaigns containing over 35 single-player missions, three warring factions, Hollywood-laden action sequences and the same great real-time strategy gameply that had defined the series. Interestingly, there are some new features added, including the helpful side bar which allows you to manage your base while commanding your armies; choosing one of the many play styles for your AI opponents; as well as a more complex and in-depth system to combine units to create amazing super-units that you want.Although the game does have a multiplayer game mode, you probably won't be able to find anyone playing there anymore. So, if you do get this game, make sure that you are aware of this going in or you may end up disappointed.
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is another Empires spin-off from the main Dynasty Warriors franchise. It combines the repetitive hack and slash that the series is so famous for with a more strategic, Risk-like gameplay where you'll not only need to get your hands dirty in actual combat, but also make important military decisions based on your role as a leader of an army.However, many players have said that this game is definitely a step down from the 7th installment. Not to mention, like Dynasty Warriors 8, this PC port is plagued with the same control issues if you use the mouse and keyboard combo, but the problems go away once you switched over to using a controller. So, if you plan on buying this game, make sure you have a controller ready.
That being said, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is definitely the sort of game that caters to fans of the game series and may also appeal to some fans of strategy games, but as mentioned, despite being the newest, it's certainly not the best game in the spin-off series - it is merely a somewhat decent one.
