About DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 EMPIRES
In DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 EMPIRES, the armies of the kingdom are at your command! The player's ultimate goal is to conquer the 25 regions of Ancient China and build an entire Empire using cunning diplomacy and uncompromising force. Before each battle, the player will meet with the war council to decide upon military and political policies for the kingdom; then it's time for war.

DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 EMPIRES gives armchair generals total control of their kingdom. Now, gamers can issue direct orders to each officer or signal general commands to officers on the field. Players will order when the army will take the offensive, defend their ground, or have all officers gather for an ambush. Gamers can also choose the officers for an attack force, entice captives into joining the kingdom's service and even expel officers from the kingdom. There's even greater authority over Government, Product Development, Diplomacy and Battle Tactics with the game's 25 new policies for a total of 75 in all.

The game's imperial-sized action includes 4 scenarios to unlock, 2-Player Co-Op play in "Empire" and "Free" modes, new items to unlock, and control of over 200 officers! Once the dust has settled, there's the real history of Ancient China to discover in the game's detailed Encyclopedia.

Developed by KOEI's award-winning internal team, Omega Force, DYNASTY WARRIORS 5 EMPIRES is a 1-2 player game, and is rated "T" (Teen- Mild Language, Violence) by the ESRB.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I'm floored. As if the ridiculous Chinese fast food cliches weren't bad enough on the box for Xtreme DW5, I'm sure the Empires box will strive to be twice as offensive.

Hold on... why is the US not getting the 360 version? Both PS2 and 360 versions are coming out on 30 March in Japan.

USA still hasn't received Dynasty Warriors 5 for 360.

I've been hoping Koei offers a bundle pack for 360.

DW5 + XL + Empires = FTW

Nope.
