This is a play-through of 1P Battle mode using Cao Cao in the PS1 game Dynasty Warriors / Sangoku Musou. Read on below for more information...

Cao Cao / Sou Sou is a penultimate boss for most of the characters in the game. He is an unlockable playable character.

===== ABOUT CAO CAO / SOU SOU =====
Based on the real-life historical character of the same name, he is a warlord and Chancellor of the Han Dynasty. He excels in war and politics, and is the one who provided and laid the foundations for the future kingdom of Wei. In Dynasty Warriors 1, he seems to be portrayed as a villain.

Gameplay-wise, this guy's moves are generally quite short-ranged, so you are going to have to strike close and take risks to be effective with him... his speed however, is pretty good.

===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====

---- His Stage 8 boss is Guan Yu and his Stage 9 boss is Lu Bu.

---- He does not seem to have a Musou extension.

===== ABOUT PS1 DYNASTY WARRIORS =====
This is basically the very first game of the Dynasty Warriors / Shin Sangoku Musou franchise, and is the only one in the series being a traditional weapons-based one-on-one versus fighting game. It is inspired by the historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

If I were to loosely describe the general gameplay, I would call it "Virtua Fighter with weapons". The movement and flow of striking is somewhat "rigid" and "stiff", so if you're used to Soul Edge/Calibur and the later Tekkens, you will most likely find this a bit "restricting" if you know what I mean.

Overall it's a pretty good game that is nicely rounded off with many modes of play, FMV CGI sequences and a good soundtrack. Know the roots, Dynasty Warriors fans!
