I played Dynasty Warriors 3 before I played DW2 thanks to an early Playstation Underground Jampack demo, the one with Final Fantasy X on it. I miss good old Jampack Demos.

I'm a big fan of the DW series, and DW3 is where the series really took off among fans. Most people didn't get a PS2 at launch, so a lot of people missed the opportunity to play Dynasty Warriors 2, however, that Jampack demo definitely helped put the series on the map for a lot of gamers at the time. Great game, and a great series if you ask me. Koei definitely went overboard in milking the series, but it was obviously selling for them thanks to the diehard fans of the series. All the low review scores in the world meant nothing to the fans, and rightfully so.

As much as I love Streets of Rage and Final Fight, I think it could be argued that the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors series is the greatest beat 'em up franchise of all time. Huge open battles, rpg leveling elements, and simple, yet still very challenging gameplay. Casual fans could jump in and instantly have fun, while hardcore fans would complete the game on hard. Great series.
