Graphics are way better on Hyper than the PS2 games, theres not as much fog and the "easy" difficulty setting is still pretty hard on some stages, if you jump, nearly every enemy nearby will jump at you, making jump attacks impossible at times. It's pretty funny, I'll try to get a Print Screen if you want me to. 

Also, the japanese voices are way better, sometimes I prefered when DW3 kept the voices for the battle cries and musou ranting.

but the thing i dont get is the game is based off of ancient china and they speak japanese i wonder y koei didnt put chinese instead of japanese as the audio settings

[dxfatty]

because the creators of the game wasnt chinese, they were japanese, this game did probably release in china since it is quite popular there to, so they must have the chinese version

[zhao yun fan]

idk seems odd tho tht they didnt let u pick between english, japanese, or chinese as the audio for the gameplay.

I was thinking this too, adding Mandarin voices would make the game much more realistic but I guess that would take too much time.

If you have a decent enough system then there is no pop ups. You can set it so that ALL the troops in the game show up, so you can watch enemies all the way in the distance fighting (and by fighting, I mean they actually attack eachother rather then stand there). It's 5x better then the original for the ps2. Plus, there is this fun little hack that lets you take a created officer and use whatever moveset you want with whatever weapon you want. So for instance, you could make a male character and give him Lu Bu's weapon and then swing it like Guan Yu does with his Blue Dragon.

A few I like is using the greatsword with Xiahou Duns moveset, another favorite is using Guan Yu/Zhang Liao weapon with Yue Lings moveset. Not sure if that's the right name of the girl, it's Zhuges wife.
